Frequently asked questions

• What is the difference between wrapping 2D and wrapping 3D when choosing my wrapping ?

  
  

  wrapping 2D are suitable for flat or slightly curved surfaces. A good choice for making strips or stickers on a roof, for example.

  
  

  wrapping 3D are ideal for larger surfaces and more complex curved areas. Thanks to their "cast PVC" composition, they are more easily thermoformed. A wise choice for a complete wrapping , or mirrors, for example.

  
  

  For more information, see our article on wrapping 2D and 3D. 😉

  
  

• How to install wrapping yourself?

  
  

  The first few times can be a bit technical if you're not used to it. With patience, precision, the right equipment and by following the installation instructions carefully, you can get the hang of it. 💪

  
  

  We advise you to start with "simple" parts like a hood or a roof, to get the hang of it. After that, the more you lay, the easier it gets! 👌

  
  

  We've got plenty of tutorials to teach you how to lay it yourself. Discover our tips and tricks in this article.

  
  

• How to wash a car with a wrapping ?

  
  

  Parts covered with wrapping can be maintained in the same way as the rest of the vehicle. All you need to do is take care of the cut-outs and joints: we advise against washing with a roller to avoid delamination.

  
  

  Also watch out for karchers at joints. Allow for sufficiently wide returns during installation, to avoid the risk of delamination during cleaning.

• What's the best movie wrapping ?

  
  

  It's the one that's right for you! For stickers or flat surfaces, a wrapping 2D is ideal. On the other hand, for a total wrapping or rear-view mirrors, installation will be easier with a wrapping 3D.

  
  

  You can also treat yourself to a wrapping from Avery Dennison or 3M. In any case, at Variance Auto we only offer carefully selected, professional-quality products.

  
  

• How much wrapping do I need to cover my vehicle completely?

  
  

  The wrapping total calculator shows in just a few clicks the number of linear meters you need for the complete wrapping of your car.

  
  

  If your car is not entered in the calculator :

  1. Measure the length of the car (from the bottom of the front bumper through the roof to the bottom of the rear bumper).
  2. Multiply this result by 3.

• What's the difference between wrapping and paint?

  
  

  wrapping is a great alternative to paint.

  
  

  • wrapping can be installed by yourself thanks to our installation tutorials.
  • The wrapping protects the original paintwork, keeping it in good condition.
  • The wrapping can be removed at any time
  • wrapping is less expensive

  
  

  Good to know: The wrapping film will adapt to the surface. If there are bumps or pokes, the wrapping will conform to the shape. These imperfections will remain visible. What's more, if the original paintwork is damaged, the wrapping film can damage it on removal.

  
  

• Is it possible to remove a wrapping ?

  
  

  Yes, you can remove it at any time without leaving any marks on your vehicle's bodywork. The adhesive used is specially designed so that you can restore the original bodywork at any time.

  
  

  Warning: wrapping will not damage paint on paint in good condition. But if you put a wrapping on paint that is starting to flake or become damaged, it can damage it. 

  
  

• Which wrapping to choose for a complete car?

  The wrapping 3D.

  
  

  It offers superior elasticity and stretchability to 2D, ensuring a smooth, wrinkle-free finish on your vehicle's most complex shapes. wrapping 2D is ideal if you're working on flat surfaces, without curves or reliefs. It's perfect for roofs or hood stripes, for example.
