Do car wraps ruin paint?

The Simple Answer: A Vehicle Wrap Will Not Damage Factory or High Quality Paint. In fact, not only will a wrap not damage the painted surface of your vehicle, if the paint is factory paint the wrap will protect that surface and preserve the quality of the paint underneath.

Can vinyl wrap overlap?

Some installers will overlap sheets of vinyl and cut a seam with a knife. Others will overlap a seam with the edge facing away from the line of sight of the car. After the vinyl sheet has adhered to the car body over the thread, the thread is sharp enough that it can be pulled through the vinyl, cutting it precisely.
