What's the difference between paint and vinyl wrap?

Paint is permanent and requires more time and cost to change or repair. Wraps are temporary, customizable, and reversible, offering flexibility and protection without altering the original paint.

Why Vinyl Wraps Cannot Be Applied Over Oxidized Paint?

Hawai‘i’s unique environment — with its strong sun, salt air, and high humidity — can be tough on automotive finishes. Over time, these conditions can cause paint to oxidize, fade, or peel. While vinyl wraps are an excellent way to refresh and protect a vehicle’s appearance, they require a smooth, stable surface to adhere properly.

The Importance of Surface Condition

Vinyl film bonds directly to the vehicle’s clear coat or painted surface. When the paint is oxidized or deteriorating, that bond becomes unreliable. Installing a wrap over compromised paint can lead to:

Poor adhesion, causing the vinyl to lift or bubble
Visible surface imperfections showing through the wrap
Premature failure of the wrap material
Loss of manufacturer or installer warranty coverage

Our Recommendation

Before scheduling a wrap installation, we recommend coming in for a consultation. It’s essential that the paint surface be in good condition. If oxidation, peeling, or fading is present, corrective steps such as paint correction, sanding, or refinishing may be required. This ensures a clean surface for proper adhesion and long-term durability.

Vehicle Age Policy

To ensure the highest quality results and long-lasting performance, we prefer vehicles that are two years old or newer for vinyl wrapping. This policy helps us maintain consistent quality standards and ensures that the vehicle’s paint is in optimal condition for adhesion.

Our Commitment to Quality

At Infinite Auto Services, we take pride in producing flawless, durable wraps that withstand Hawai‘i’s challenging climate. Every vehicle is carefully inspected before installation to confirm that it meets our surface and condition requirements. If your paint shows signs of oxidation or wear, our team will recommend professional refinishing options to prepare your vehicle for a future wrap.
