Why wrap your race car?
Racing is one of the most expensive sports out there and it requires tens of thousands of dollars to engineer the car and to keep it running at top performance for each and every race. It’s not something that a driver or a team can afford by themselves, and they need the help of sponsor brands.
This is the reason why all of the racing cars are covered with brand logos and advertising messages, besides all of the cool pictures, graphics, and decals. And all of these are achieved with the help of vinyl wraps.
What is a race car vinyl wrap?
This is a thin film made of vinyl that is added over the original paint. As mentioned before, it has two main purposes: to give the car a cool and unique design through racing graphics and decals, but also to advertise all of the sponsors.
While not as important as for the regular cars that we drive on the streets, vinyl wrapping also has the purpose of protecting the original paint. In the case of racing cars, this is just a minor detail, but it can’t be neglected either.
How do you wrap a race car?
While people can sometimes wrap their personal cars themselves by buying premade vinyl films, this is not the case for racing cars. The graphics are custom made for each team and for each of the sponsoring brands, so they have to be created at a specialized shop such as Tinting Chicago.
First, we prepare the vinyl films with racing graphics and logos and then print them. They can be small films for certain body parts or full wraps. The next step is to carefully apply them according to the customer’s needs, by using a heat gun and a few other tools. It’s also very important to have the right temperature and humidity for the film to stick perfectly, and that’s why it’s always better to get the job done at a professional.
