VINYL WRAPPING

Vinyl boat wrapping has a number of advantages. First and foremost, it’s economical. Compared to painting, vinyl wrapping can cost nearly two-thirds less than a professional marine paint job. Not only is vinyl wrapping cost-effective, it is also time efficient. Applying a vinyl wrap is a quick and easy process. A professional can usually complete the job within a few days. The maintenance that comes along with vinyl wrapping is also relatively simple. You won’t need to buff or polish it and instead can simply use soap and water for a good, clean surface.

You may be wondering if vinyl wrap will harm the hull paint underneath. Not only will it not damage the paint, it’ll actually protect it. Finally, vinyl wrapping is completely safe for the environment. There are no chemicals or solvents involved, making it a great alternative to toxic marine paints.
