Removing Vinyl Wrap after 3 years

[Charmaine12]

Have anyone remove vinyl wrap after 3 years.

 

Will the original paint gone ?

Does the Vinyl wrap discolour in our ruthless weather ?? See many cars do that but what is the effects on long term??

Now the thing is how much do they charge for removing the Vinyl wrap or can just "kopek kopek- peel " yourself 

Maybe you can post photo of the car so we can see how/what has happened to it, discolour or fade or what ??

Based on past experience, there’ll definitely be uneven discolouration, sticky residue n etc..best solution it’s to go for a respray.

I went with a friend to have his vinyl wrap on his roof and bonnet remove and rewrap as it has been there for like 2-3 years and the vinyl discoloured. 

 

The guy removing it really had a headache, cos the vinyl had "dried" up and became brittle, so when he try to peel it off, it starts coming off in little pieces and some of it totally fixed to the paintwork... he spent like almost 3-4 hours just trying to remove it... then got to clean off the residue left on the paintwork before he can rewrap the new vinyl. 

 

We helped too, peel till finger nails pain.

Better don’t do vinyl. So difficult to remove.
