Can a Car Wrap be Applied Over Scratches?
While car wraps can be applied over scratches, they will not hide scratches. In fact, a vinyl wrap may even make the imperfections in your vehicle’s paint even more noticeable. This is because vinyl wraps are designed to closely adhere to a vehicle’s body, which means that they will also conform to any grooves created by scratches or dents. In most cases, any scratch in the vehicle’s paint that can be felt will show through a vinyl wrap.
