Modern adhesive reaches its most sticky state after 24 hours, making it repositionable. The vinyl itself, a highly formable "cast" vinyl, has channels to allow air to escape, eliminating bubbles. A factory laminate coating can make the vinyl wrap last up to 10 years. Finally, vinyl called supercast can stretch up to 40 percent, so it can be molded around curves and sharp bumper edges.
Cast-vinyl wrapping began mostly as a way to display advertising on cars, but a growing trend is to use solid colors as a replacement for painting an entire car, says Molly Waters, a specialist for Avery Dennison Graphics Solutions in Dallas. To watch the process in action, we traveled to Graphik Concepts in suburban Detroit and watched vinyl-wrap experts Gordon Nodacker, Chris Lokker, and Mike Allen wrap a plain white Ford Transit Connect for a local caterer with repositionable vinyl printed in-house.
