At Kartal Auto, we specialize in transforming luxury vehicles like the Bentley Bentayga with custom wraps that not only enhance their aesthetic appeal but also provide additional protection. Recently, we completed a vehicle wrapping job on a Bentley Bentayga, and while working on this beautiful luxury SUV, our team encountered a few challenges. We want to share the issues we found and the solutions we implemented to ensure that the vehicle received the perfect finish it deserves.
Here’s an overview of the issues encountered during the wrapping process and the expert solutions we provided:
Issue Found:
1. Issue: Complex Curves and Body Lines
The Bentley Bentayga features intricate body lines and curved surfaces, making the wrapping process more challenging. Achieving a flawless application around these curves without wrinkles or air bubbles is essential for a seamless look.
Solution: Our team of expert installers used advanced techniques and custom-cut vinyl that perfectly matched the curves of the Bentayga. We carefully preheated the vinyl to ensure it could be stretched smoothly around all the contours. By using precision tools and taking extra time on the intricate areas, we achieved a smooth, bubble-free finish that perfectly accentuates the SUV’s design.
2. Issue: Film Stretching and Misalignment
During the wrapping process, we noticed that some of the vinyl film was stretching in areas such as the doors and rear quarter panels, which could lead to misalignment and an imperfect finish.
Solution: We carefully monitored and adjusted the tension on the vinyl film as it was being applied. By using specialized techniques and heat control, we ensured that the film adhered perfectly without over-stretching. We re-aligned sections where necessary and used additional adhesive at key points to guarantee the wrap stayed in place. This ensured that the vinyl maintained its perfect alignment and appearance.
3. Issue: Air Bubbles Trapped Under the Film
As with any wrapping job, air bubbles can sometimes form under the vinyl if not properly managed, potentially ruining the sleek, glossy look of the vehicle.
Solution: To avoid air bubbles, we used a meticulous application process, ensuring each section was carefully applied with even pressure. We also employed squeegees and heat guns to carefully eliminate any bubbles during the application. In areas where bubbles were noticed post-installation, we applied extra heat to remove them and ensure the film adhered tightly to the surface for a flawless finish.
4. Issue: Wrapping Edges Lifting
In some areas around the door handles, side mirrors, and window trims, we observed minor lifting of the vinyl edges. This issue could affect the overall durability of the wrap and the car’s appearance.
Solution: We re-examined the edges and used a more precise cutting technique to trim the vinyl, ensuring that the edges were tightly secured. Additionally, we applied high-quality adhesive to the edges and used heat-cured methods to bond the film more securely. The wrapping was then re-checked to ensure no areas were left susceptible to lifting or peeling.
5. Issue: Color Consistency and Vinyl Quality
For the Bentley Bentayga, the customer opted for a premium custom color wrap, but ensuring uniformity across the entire surface can be challenging. Any inconsistency in color or texture would impact the luxury feel of the vehicle.
Solution: We used only the highest quality 3M and Avery Dennison vinyl films known for their consistency and durability. We ensured that the vinyl was carefully selected to match the customer’s exact color preferences and checked it for consistency across the entire vehicle. Our team also took extra care during the installation to ensure that the color matched seamlessly from one panel to the next, delivering a luxurious finish.
