Vinyl car wrapping, also known as vehicle wrapping, is the process of applying a vinyl film onto the body of a car to change its appearance temporarily or permanently. It involves wrapping the panels of the car with adhesive-backed vinyl sheets that conform to the contours of the vehicle. The vinyl sheets come in various colors, finishes (such as matte, gloss, satin), and textures (such as carbon fiber, brushed metal), allowing users to customize the look of their car. This technique can transform the entire vehicle or be used for specific accents, such as the roof, hood, or side mirrors. Vinyl car wraps are often used for personalization, advertising purposes, or to protect the original paint finish of the car.
