Step-by-Step Guide to Wrapping a Car in Singapore

CarWrapSG — Ever wondered what actually happens when a car gets wrapped? A full wrap takes 3–5 days and involves multiple careful stages. Here's a complete walkthrough.

Step 1: Consultation & Design

Choose your colour and finish from physical swatch samples. For printed wraps, we create digital mockups on your actual vehicle for approval.

Step 2: Material Selection

Premium vinyl from 3M, Avery Dennison, and KPMF. We measure your vehicle and calculate 15–25 metres of material needed.

Step 3: Surface Preparation

• Thorough wash including door jambs and panel gaps
• Clay bar treatment removes embedded contaminants
• IPA wipe removes oils, waxes, silicones
• Damage inspection for existing paint issues
• Partial disassembly of handles, mirrors, badges

Step 4: Installation

• Cutting vinyl to rough panel sizes
• Squeegee application from centre outwards
• Heat forming around curves and bumpers
• Tucking and trimming for invisible edges
• Post-heating to activate adhesive memory

Step 5: Detail Work & Reassembly

Door jambs, edges around lights, and recesses wrapped. Trim and badges reinstalled over the wrap for a seamless finish.

Step 6: Curing & Quality Check

12–24 hours curing. Comprehensive inspection covering edge adhesion, bubbles, colour consistency, and tuck depth.
