Frequently asked questions
How much vinyl do I need for a sedan?
A full body wrap (windows excluded) needs about 18–20 metres of 152 cm roll. With a 20% waste allowance the tool gives 19.8 metres for this class. Wrapping mirrors, door shuts and sills adds more.
Should I buy a 137 cm or a 152 cm roll?
On cars most panels come out of either width in one piece, so the length may not change. On tall vehicles such as panel vans a 137 cm roll splits more panels, adding seams and length: a short panel van full wrap needs 28.3 m with 152 cm and 29.7 m with 137 cm. For fewer seams 152 cm is preferred; you can switch both widths in the tool and compare.
Is laminate necessary?
It is recommended on printed vinyl: laminate protects the print against UV light, washing and scratches and extends its life. Coloured cast vinyl is coloured through, so no laminate is needed and the tool leaves it out.
Why is the waste allowance so high?
A vehicle is not flat: vinyl is stretched over curves, edges are wrapped and pieces are cut around bumpers and mirrors. Misapplied and test pieces add to it. 20% is assumed for full wraps with cast vinyl and 15% otherwise; you can enter your own value.
Why should the vinyl come from the same lot?
Vinyl from different production batches can differ slightly in shade and gloss. On adjacent panels of the same vehicle the difference shows. Order all the vinyl for one vehicle at once, from the same lot.
