Surgical skills required
A lot of work is required before a car is ready to be wrapped, as it takes a car that is absolutely free of dirt for a wrapping to succeed. Once this is done, the work can begin. The vehicle wrap is applied piece by piece, and a steady hand with almost surgical skills are required because cutting with a scalpel requires a great deal of dexterity.
Only practice and experience can ensure the film is cut without damaging the paint underneath. Pressure and angle make all the difference; what may look simple at first glance is a result of years of experience and training. This is particularly true regarding all the “tricky areas” of a vehicle — the more modern the model, the more sensors there are installed around the car. These must not be taped over under any circumstances.
Vehicle wrapping involves so much more than just applying a colorful adhesive film to the car body: from the initial idea, to designing it in CorelDRAW, to the completed artwork, there are not only thousands of steps and several days of work, but above all expertise and dexterity that ensure a perfect result. With Bös in charge, the result is usually anything but normal and a highlight on the street.
