How To Deal With Damaged Vehicle Graphics: To Repair Or To Replace

Even the best vehicle graphics won’t last forever, but not all damage requires a full-on replacement to fix. Vehicle graphic repairs are faster and more economical than replacements, making them ideal for both small businesses and big companies who need to keep fleet vehicles looking their best.

Not everyone knows what kinds of vehicle graphic damage can be repaired or partially replaced, but we’d like to change that.

Read on to learn what types of vehicle graphic damage can be repaired, and what needs to be replaced, or call (410)-877-6011 to discuss your options in detail with a vehicle graphics specialist in Baltimore, MD.

When Should I Replace My Vehicle Graphics?

Generally speaking, you should replace vehicle graphics if:

• Your vehicle graphics are no longer up to date or representative of your brand
• Your vehicle graphics are more than 5-7 years old
• Your vehicle graphics have begun to fade or crack
• Your vehicle graphics have been seriously damaged through collisions, vandalism, or other forms of abuse

If your vehicle graphics are larger than normal, or you have multiple graphics on your vehicle, it may be possible to complete a partial replacement. This can save time and money, allowing you to refresh outdated messaging or spot-treat damage and wear. However, as with repairs, partial replacements are only recommended when:

• The vehicle graphic is relatively new
• The vehicle graphic is in relatively good condition outside of the problem area
• Your vehicle graphic provider has strong color-matching capabilities
• Your vehicle graphic provider can match the vinyl grade and finish
• You’re satisfied with the current position of your vehicle graphic
• Your vehicle is still in good shape—vehicle graphics cannot “hide” damage to a vehicle’s body, and irregular surfaces (e.g. dents and punctures) can negatively affect adhesion
