Wrapping allows you to change the look of your ride without a long-term commitment. Think of it as a temporary tattoo for your car. ... Wrapping a car opens up the possibility of colors and graphic designs not offered from the factory.The vinyl wrap acts as a protective layer against small chips and dings from stones and other road damage. If you'd like to eventually sell the vehicle in its original condition, protecting the paint will preserve its resale value and avoid having to pay out for any minor scratch repairs.
