Vinyl Graphics 
Vinyl is the new alternative to paint? Because Vinyl is a type of material that can easily be attached onto and detached from almost any surface, design enthusiasts and advertisers alike have taken interest. One good thing about Vinyl is that it is cheaper to use and quicker to put on than paint. In addition, Vinyl wraps also take just one day or less to install, while paint can take three to four days to put on and dry.









You may have heard these words used to describe what looks like a large sticker with a design on it, Vinyl Graphics, well, that's what it is really. One BIG "sticker".

Where can we apply these Big Stickers? You may be surprised.

Paint vs Vinyl 

Because the design has already been printed on the Vinyl sheet, the need to apply second, third, or fourth coatings (as with paint) is eliminated. You simply place it over your choice surface, apply pressure, and it's already attached until you tire of it and take it off. You can use it to wrap a car, a motorcycle, or even to decorate your window. Given the right kind of material and the expertise of professionals, there is no surface that Vinyl Graphics cannot be placed on. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/403879


Car Wrap

A car wrap is a vinyl film sub-straight where color is applied, sometimes many colors, or a graphic is impregnated onto a sub-straight application over your cars original paint. The vinyl applied does not harm your paint.


The wrap applied can vary from extreme graphics to a simple one color application


















How to?

U may have seen a header like this before in the many great pages and pages of information on the subject, if your looking.
I would say all, the "how to" information you find has a very true aspect.
I used, and utilize, the scrap vinyl as practice and application. Check out a great link DIY below.

 


 



Scrap Wrap? LOL!

Sometimes a Scrap Wrap! Yes, either with pre-cut shapes, knife less tape, or both. There is an application for this. Look at it this way as well, you are using otherwise unused materials.  It makes good practice material for beginners.
