Custom Vinyl Wraps for Vehicles | 4 Common Styles

Custom vehicle wrapping has been trending up for a number of years now.  We’re seeing more and more people who are looking to spice up their ride without breaking the bank. Vinyl wrap for cars provides the best blend of customizability and cost effectiveness on the market today.

There’s literally thousands of different ways to do custom car wraps so the decision can be a little daunting.  Whether you know what you want or are new to the game you should have an idea of the types of vinyl wrap styles available to you.  We’d like to briefly mention 4 of the most popular finishes of vinyl wrap for cars that we see here in Buffalo, NY.

1. Glossy Vinyl Wrap

How’s your current paint job looking these days?  Are you longing for the days when your car used to shine?  If it has lost some of its luster don’t panic! High gloss custom vinyl car wraps can make your car look like it’s fresh off the factory floor.  Don’t waste your time and money restoring a faded paint job when you can get the same look from a custom car wrap. Most of the time it’ll be the faster, cheaper, and easier option anyway.

2. Matte Finish Wrap

Up until about 10 years ago everyone was looking for glossy finishes to make their cars look like they were new.  However, there is a growing trend on the market where people are doing a 180 and springing for matte finishes instead.  Flat paint jobs are more subtle but give off the vibe that you mean you business. Matte finishes work great as a full body car wrap because they are more durable and resistant to stains than an actual paint finish.

3. Carbon Fiber Wrap

In case you haven’t heard, carbon fiber is an incredible material.  It is highly sought after in many applications including the auto industry.  Professional racers and high end cars use it for it’s impressive strength to weight ratio and most people agree that it looks really cool.  Thanks to custom vinyl car wraps you can get this look for your own vehicle without spending tens of thousands of dollars to get the real thing.  Using premium 3m vinyl, you can mimic the carbon fiber pattern so well, people won’t be able to tell the difference between your finish and the real thing!

4. Clear Vinyl Wrap

The first three styles were all focused on aesthetics but custom wrapping can do even more.  Maybe you like the look of your car already or perhaps you just bought a new car and want to protect the new paint.  If that’s the case then a clear vinyl car wrap is perfect for you. It’ll protect your current paint from minor scratches, color fading, and peeling.  Additionally the best part is, down the road when you go to sell the car, the wrap can be removed and you’ll still have that pristine paint job.
