Vinyl Bumper Wraps 3M™ | Avery Dennison® | ORACAL®

Vehicle Bumper Wraps

Bring life and style to your ride with a vinyl bumper wrap from Rvinyl. Our wraps are resilient, easy to apply and available in countless colors and finishes. Compared to a professional paint job, vinyl bumper wraps are more cost-efficient and versatile and take less time to apply. They are easier to swap or remove when you're ready for a change or preparing your vehicle for resale and won't damage the paint job underneath. You can also find vinyl wraps in several unique patterns and textures — like wood grain or galaxy print — that you can't easily reproduce via paint.

What Is a Bumper Wrap?

A bumper wrap is a large piece of vinyl that you apply directly to your vehicle's bumper. You can use one to add a pop of color to express your style or pair it with other auto film wraps to create a cohesive or complementary look. You can even use bumper wraps to protect your original paint job from the wear and tear of the road. In most cases, you can wrap both front and back bumpers.

How Long Does It Take to Wrap Your Bumper?

If you take your car to the shop for a professional wrap job, you can expect your ride to be out of commission anywhere from one to four days. The best part about choosing a DIY Rvinyl bumper wrap kit is that you decide when to apply your wrap, and it only takes a handful of hours to get the project done. Invite a few friends over to help, and you'll be back on the road in no time.

Applying your bumper wrap is easy. Here's what you can expect:

1. Wash your car: A successful bumper wrap application starts with a clean, dry vehicle. Wash the bumper area thoroughly and allow it to dry before you begin. Do not add any polish or wax, as they will interfere with the application process.
2. Prepare your work area: Apply your vinyl bumper wrap in a well-lit area, but try to avoid direct sunlight. Gather all the equipment you will need, including your film kit with instructions, a squeegee and the heat, water or application liquid you need for your specific wrap.
3. Apply the wrap: Using the instructions that come with your bumper wrap kit, apply the film carefully via a wet or dry application. Never use the wet application if you are using a dry application film and vice versa.

How Long Do Bumper Wraps Last?

We recommend removing and reapplying a bumper wrap at the four-year mark for the best results, though vinyl wraps can last five to seven years with proper care.

Caring for your bumper wrap includes:

• Avoiding harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
• Following all finish-specific instructions regarding wax, treatments and polish.
• Spot washing your film with a soft cloth or sponge instead of using a pressure washer.
• Parking your vehicle indoors or in a shaded area to avoid too much sunlight exposure.

How Much Does It Cost to Wrap Your Bumper?

If you take your car to the shop for a bumper wrap, the price will vary depending on the shop and services you purchase, as well as the size of your bumper and the difficulty of application. This can cost as much as $300, and you're without your car until the project is complete.

At Rvinyl, our customers pay about a third of that price when they purchase one of our DIY bumper wrap kits instead. You get the same professional-level appearance without all the expense.

What Brands of Bumper Wraps Can You Get?

Rvinyl works with top vinyl manufacturers to offer the best in premium auto wraps and accessories, including:

• 3M™ 1080 and 2080 Series Wraps: Whether you're relying on vinyl film to protect your paint job or just want to add more color to your vehicle, 3M bumper wraps won't let you down. 3M is a leading vinyl manufacturer because they create durable, attractive colors available in more than 100 shades and finishes. The life expectancy for these wraps varies, depending on which type you choose, but expect five to eight years of lasting style.
• Avery Dennison® SW900 Supreme Wrapping Films: Avery Dennison bumper wraps are long-lasting, 3.2-mil thick films available in dozens of style options, including textured finishes. These wraps are popular with auto enthusiasts doing detail work on their vehicles, as Avery Dennison uses Easy Apply™ technology for quick repositioning during application.
• ORACAL® Vinyl 970RA/975 Wraps: Choose from a fast wet or dry application with your ORACAL bumper wrap. Wet application is typically easier for first-time users, while a dry application takes less time. These bumper wraps are 4-mil thick and able to conform around complex surfaces and curved edges. Choose from more than 130 styles and colors, with up to six years of expected durability in outdoor conditions.
• Rwraps™ Vinyl Wrap Films: Rwraps is a versatile collection of vinyl film wraps you can use to deck out the interior and exterior of your ride, including your bumper. Find one-of-a-kind patterns — like Chameleon and Aluminum — at a cost-efficient price that makes it easier than ever to customize your car or truck.

Our bumper wraps are only suitable for use on factory-finished paint jobs. Aftermarket-finished paint jobs do not have the same curing level that our wraps need to adhere to your car's surface. If you're not sure which type of vinyl film is best for your project, contact an Rvinyl representative — we'll help you find what you need.
