At Kartal Auto, we take immense pride in delivering high-quality custom services to luxury vehicle owners. Recently, we had the honor of completing a vehicle wrapping project on the stunning Bentley EXP 100 GT in Dubai. This luxury car demanded a meticulous and precise approach, and while the job was largely successful, we identified some issues during the process that required our expertise to resolve. Below, we outline the issues encountered and the solutions implemented to ensure the Bentley received a flawless wrap and an unparalleled finish.

Issues Identified During the Wrapping Process

Air Bubbles and Wrinkles on Curved Surfaces

  • The Bentley EXP 100 GT features smooth and intricate curves, especially around the hood, roof, and side panels, which can be challenging to wrap. We noticed the formation of air bubbles and wrinkles on some of these areas, which can happen when the film isn’t properly applied to complex, curved surfaces.

Solution: Our team took extra care to smooth out the bubbles and wrinkles by using heat guns and specialized squeegees to gently manipulate the wrap. We applied heat to make the vinyl film more pliable, allowing it to conform better to the car’s curves. This technique ensured the wrap adhered seamlessly, leaving no traces of bubbles or wrinkles behind. After the reapplication, the car’s contours were perfectly covered, maintaining the vehicle’s sleek appearance.

Inconsistent Gloss and Finish

  • Upon initial inspection, we found slight variations in gloss levels in different sections of the car. The Bentley EXP 100 GT has a distinctive glossy finish, and it was crucial to maintain this level of consistency across the entire vehicle.

Solution: To fix this, we removed the areas with inconsistent gloss and replaced them with premium-quality vinyl wrap designed to deliver a smooth and consistent finish. We ensured that the wrap provided the exact gloss level that matched the rest of the car, giving the Bentley an even, high-gloss shine that perfectly complements its luxurious design.

Overlapping Seams and Uneven Edges

  • We discovered that some of the seams were overlapping or not aligned correctly, which can lead to an uneven, unprofessional appearance. In the case of a high-end vehicle like the Bentley EXP 100 GT, precision and clean lines are essential for maintaining the luxury aesthetics.

Solution: We carefully re-trimmed and adjusted the seams to ensure they were perfectly aligned. By using precision cutting tools and laser-guided techniques, we were able to eliminate any overlap and ensure that each seam met perfectly at the edges, resulting in a clean and professional look. The finish was now sharp and aligned, giving the vehicle a cohesive appearance.

Film Not Adhering Properly on Complex Areas (Mirrors, Vents, and Trim)

  • Certain complex areas, such as the side mirrors, vents, and trim pieces, presented challenges during the wrapping process. These sections required careful handling to ensure that the wrap adhered securely without lifting or peeling over time.

Solution: For these complex areas, we used specially formulated adhesive and ensured that the vinyl film was applied in smaller, manageable sections. We also used heat and pressure techniques to secure the wrap in these difficult spots. After completing the process, we double-checked the adhesion to guarantee no lifting or bubbles. These areas were now perfectly wrapped, providing a sleek, cohesive look without compromising the vehicle’s aerodynamics or design.

Unintended Marks or Scratches During Installation

  • During the installation, some areas of the vehicle suffered from unintended marks or scratches due to the handling of the vinyl film and tools. Even with the highest level of care, this can occasionally happen during a delicate wrapping process.

Solution: We immediately re-surfaced the affected areas and carefully applied additional layers of protective vinyl. Our technicians also inspected the tools and techniques used during the wrap to ensure there was no risk of further scratching. The result was a flawless wrap, free from any surface imperfections, ensuring the vehicle’s pristine condition was maintained.
