What is wrapping ? The art of automotive transformation 🚗

The benefits of wrapping ✔️
Installing a wrapping on the roof of your car, such as a Renault Megane, offers many advantages. Here's a breakdown of the benefits you can enjoy 👇
Customization and aesthetics
- The wrapping website can be used to give your car a unique look, whether to assert your style or to keep up with current trends. A black roof, for example, adds an elegant, sporty touch, much in demand on modern models.
- Variety of styles: choose from matte, gloss, satin or effect finishes (carbon, metallic, etc.).
- Trendy colors: deep black or other shades to match the rest of the bodywork. In short, wrapping transforms your vehicle without the need for permanent paint. It's an excellent alternative to paint.
Original paint protection
wrapping acts as a barrier against external aggression.
- Scratch protection: wrapping protects against small scratches and chips caused by gravel impacts.
- UV resistance: preserves the original paint from the fading effects of sunlight.
- Protection from the elements: Rain, snow or pollution, the film covers your roof and acts like a shield. The bonus? Once removed, the original paintwork is as good as new, preserving your car's resale value.
Reversible, cost-effective solution
Unlike conventional paint, wrapping is completely reversible:
- Easy removal: you can remove it without damaging the paint if you want to return to its original state or change style.
- Lower cost: wrapping is often more affordable than new paint, especially for partial transformations such as the roof.
Fast, flexible installation
- Installing a wrapping is quicker and less time-consuming than painting, which often requires the vehicle to be parked for long periods.
- A wrapping roof can be installed in just a few hours, and the results are immediately visible.
Easy maintenance
- Cleaning: Wash your car with soapy water or products suitable for wrapping to preserve its shine.
- Durability: Properly maintained, a quality film can last between 5 and 7 years.
As well as looking good, wrapping protects the original paintwork from scratches and external aggression. Tempted? Wait until you see how it fits.
Installing a wrapping on the roof of a Megane: step by step 📖
Installing a wrapping on the roof of a Megane is accessible, but requires patience and a little know-how. Here are the key steps:
1/ Vehicle preparation
Preparing your vehicle is a crucial step that must not be neglected!
- Store your car in a closed, dust-free area at room temperature (between 15 and 25°C).
- Wash your Megane to remove all traces of dust, grease and dirt. A clean roof ensures better film adhesion.
- Use a microfiber cloth to dry your car and avoid water residue.
2/ Preparing the wrapping
The second step is to prepare your wrapping, just as you did for your car.
- Measure the surface of the roof and cut out wrapping , leaving a safety margin of a few centimetres.
- Lightly heat wrapping with a heat gun to make it more malleable.
3/ Installation
It's that long-awaited moment: the installation of wrapping !
- Place wrapping on the roof, centering it well. Secure it temporarily with magnets or adhesive tape.
- Using a squeegee, roll the film from the center to the edges to avoid air bubbles. Heat lightly to conform to the shape of the roof.
- Trim the excess with a cutter and fold over the edges for a clean, professional result.
