Will Non-OEM Paint Peel Off When Removing Car Wraps?
2 Answers
Non-OEM car paint will peel off when removing either a clear bra or a color-changing wrap. Below is relevant information about automotive paint: 1. Overview: Automotive paint is a protective film sprayed onto cars, a type of coating that makes the car body less susceptible to corrosion and enhances its aesthetic appeal. Different automotive paints produce different effects, and the quality of the paint itself, along with the technology and a good painting environment, is crucial. Most car owners invest significant effort in beautifying their vehicles as a way to express individuality. 2. Advantages: The paint film has excellent fullness, high gloss, strong hardness, and good adhesion. It possesses superior mechanical properties, outstanding gloss retention, weather resistance, and abrasion resistance, as well as good resistance to acids, alkalis, alcohol, and gasoline.
As someone with years of experience in car repair, I often encounter this situation in the shop: When you remove a car wrap, non-factory paint is indeed more prone to peeling because aftermarket paint is usually thinner or not properly applied, such as uneven spraying or insufficient curing. The strong adhesive of the car wrap can pull off the paint layer when removed. I recommend checking the paint surface before removal. If there are flaws or signs of aging, don’t rush into it. Use a heat gun to slightly warm the adhesive, making the removal process gentler. If the paint comes off, exposed metal can rust, affecting overall corrosion resistance, so it’s crucial to repaint as soon as possible. It’s best to seek professional help to avoid making a mess. Also, non-factory paint generally has a shorter lifespan. While car wraps are meant to protect it, improper removal can cause more damage. Remember, careful handling is key—safety first.
