Can you clear coat over vinyl wrap.

These images demonstrate the worst paint conditions that will keep you from getting a perfect vehicle wrap but there are more situations that can prevent a wrap from looking it s best.
The question is how long.

However i ve seen many do it with great success for nearly 20 years.
Most cast vinyl used for vehicle wraps will only adhere well to paint that is in original oem or like new or very good quality condition.

Clear coat failure is not a candidate for a vinyl wrap.
Vinyl will stick to whatever you apply it to.
