Metamark MD7 high performance cast vinyl is developed for vehicle wrapping and the challenges of complex curves, recesses and rivets. It allows application with the use of heat to conform the product into the panel moldings of the vehicle, where calendered vinyls would otherwise be unsuitable.

Successful vehicle wrapping is a skilled application that requires correct techniques to be used by the installer, as well as an understanding of the technical limits of product. The following is a basic guide, but we would recommend full training.

Vehicle Wrapping with MD7 - Guidelines

To ensure long term performance it is important to be meticulous with the preparation and application as any part of the process can cause localized weak points and ultimately the application to fail. Adhesion is vital, and over stretching of the film can cause the application to fail - the product will withstand stretching, which consequently reduces adhesion at this point.

When carrying out a vehicle wrap, MD7 should always be overlaminated with MetaGuard 900 before hand to allow the film to be handled correctly during application, and to withstand daily wear, abrasion and acid from bird soiling. We do not recommend vehicle wrapping re-sprayed vehicles, or vehicle trim. Vehicle manufacturers water-based paints achieve slightly lower adhesion than solvent based paints do.
