Can Wraps Hide Dents?
You love the idea of sleek new wraps for your business vehicle, but there’s one small problem: the fleet comes with a few scratches and dents. So now you’re wondering if you can still wrap them. The answer isn’t a simple yes or no. But don’t worry—Standout Wraps is here to clear things up and offer wrap solutions that will have your vehicles looking their best.
We Can Wrap It, But With Caution
Technically, yes—you can wrap over dents and scratches. But will it look good? That’s another story. A vinyl wrap will conform to the shape of your vehicle, which means it’ll also conform to any imperfections underneath. This could result in visible bubbles, warping, or shadows where the surface isn’t smooth. If you have any questions about wrapping a vehicle with a dent, our team is happy to take a look beforehand.
Wraps Aren’t a Magic Eraser
While vinyl wraps can hide minor imperfections better than paint, they’re not designed to repair damage. Think of your wrap as the final touch, not the fix. If the scratch is light and doesn’t go below the paint, a wrap may still look fine. But deep scratches and dents could affect adhesion and cause issues over time.
The Better the Prep, the Better the Wrap
We always recommend fixing major dents or scratches before applying a wrap. Why? Because a smooth, even surface helps the vinyl adhere better and last longer, and it looks so much cleaner. As we’ve stated above, our team will assess your vehicle beforehand and provide you with honest feedback on whether it’s ready for wrapping or needs a little TLC first.
Minor Flaws Are No Problem
Small imperfections don’t always mean you’re out of luck. Some vinyl finishes, such as matte or textured wraps, are more forgiving when it comes to hiding subtle surface imperfections. If you’re not quite ready to visit the body shop, we’ll help you choose the best option for your situation and your budget.
