Keeping this in view, how does vinyl cutting tape work?
When vinyl is placed over the top of the knifeless tape on the surface of the vehicle the filament is easily pulled through the vinyl creating a crisp clean cut with no risk to the surface of your vehicle. The knifeless tape is applied to the surface of the vehicle before the vinyl wrap is placed on the the vehicle.
Additionally, can you vinyl wrap over parking sensors? A: No, the vinyl wraps straight over parking sensors changing their colour as well as remaning fully functional.
Keeping this in consideration, what is 3m Knifeless tape?
Knifeless Finish Line Tape Trim your wraps, create racing stripes and much more without a knife. Faster, easier and safer than trimming with a blade. Never risk cutting into a vehicle's paint again. Translucent tape so you can see exactly where your line is and reposition the cut line as needed.
How do you prep a car for vinyl wrap?
3-Step Prep for Vehicle Graphics
- Vehicles should be washed the day before vinyl application with detergent and water.
- After washing the surface with detergent and water, the second step is to solvent wipe the surface.
- Since some solvent leaves an oily residue, give the surface a final wipe with 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA).
