Gun vinyl wraps are a popular option for investing in the protection and beauty of custom firearms. At CamoWraps, we specialize in high-quality gun wraps with striking camouflage flair and long-lasting durability. But how long do gun wraps last? This is a crucial question regardless of whether you're using Realtree, Kryptek, or conventional camo on your AR-15, handgun, or rifle. The longevity of gun wraps, the advantages of cast vinyl, and crucial advice to guarantee their endurance for many years to come will all be covered in this blog.
What Are Vinyl Wraps?
Vinyl wraps are thin films with an adhesive backing intended to stick to the surface of objects, such as a gun, car, boat, or even your tailgate and rear window graphics. They are designed to be protective, long-lasting, and aesthetically pleasing. Our camo vinyl wraps at CamoWraps are available in various camouflage patterns, such as those for firearms, off-road vehicles, and cars.
Unlike paint, wraps may be changed or removed without permanently changing the surface. This is the ideal solution for combining surface protection, concealment, and personalization for firearms.
GunWraps Durability
What is the duration of gun wraps? High-quality gun vinyl wraps, such as those sold at CamoWraps, can endure for five to seven years or more with the proper maintenance and application. This depends on several things, including:
- Frequency of usage: Wear may accelerate with heavy-duty use in harsh conditions or on hunting excursions.
- Storage: Compared to firearms left out in the weather all the time, those kept in padded, dry cases will wear down far less.
- Quality of application: A correctly applied wrap free of wrinkles and air bubbles will always last longer.
- Care regimen: Your wraps will last longer with regular maintenance, just like any other equipment.
Although not permanent coatings, gun vinyl wraps offer years of tactical style and protection when used carefully.
Quality Made in the USA
Quality is not merely a feature at CamoWraps; it is our cornerstone. Our gun skins are proudly produced in the USA, guaranteeing outstanding consistency and quality control. American production benefits from better materials, faster lead times, and camouflage patterns that work in actual outdoor settings. Whether you're using them for tactical range days or deer season, you can rely on our wraps to function well.
Cast Vinyl Film
Our high-quality cast vinyl is the foundation of our gunwraps' longevity. In contrast to less expensive calendared vinyls, cast vinyl provides:
- Superior ability to adapt to edges and curves
- Resistance to fading and UV damage
- Reduced shrinking over time
- Technology that releases air without bubbles for more straightforward installation
This implies that your wraps will look better and endure longer under normal conditions, like perspiration, grime, and temperature changes. Cast vinyl guarantees that your wrap will last as long as possible.
How to Increase the Durability of Your GunWrap
When you spend money on a custom wrap, you want to maintain it in top condition. A few minutes of upkeep can greatly increase the lifespan of your vinyl skin.
Here's how to keep your wrap clean and in good condition:
Assemble your supplies:
- Eleven ounces of Lucas Oil Extreme Duty Contact Gun Cleaner
- Extreme Duty Gun Oil by Lucas Oil (4 ounces)
- Tactigrip Firearm Liquid Grip
- A brush with soft bristles
- Water should be sprayed into the bottle
- Sanitized microfiber towels
Unload your gun:
Before beginning any cleaning, always adhere to the manufacturer's safety instructions.
Apply the gun cleaner:
Use the Lucas Oil Contact Gun Cleaner to lightly spritz the vinyl's surface. Avoid any interior components.
Gently scrub the vinyl:
Use a soft-bristled brush to scrub the vinyl gently to remove dirt or debris. Be thorough but kind.
Clean:
Use a microfiber cloth to remove any loose particles from the vinyl wrap.
Rinse the surface:
To remove any cleaner residue, lightly mist it with water. This guarantees that no residue is left behind.
Dry completely:
To prevent water stains or streaks, completely dry the wrap using a different, clean microfiber cloth.
Lubricate:
Apply Lucas Oil Gun Oil exclusively to the gun's moving metal components, avoiding the vinyl wrap. This keeps the pistol working without changing the wrap.
Apply Tactigrip Liquid Grip:
Use your fingertips to rub this onto your wrap to restore its grip. This improves feel and control without degrading the film.
By following these easy procedures, you can prolong the appearance and functionality of your camo wrap, avoid wear, and keep it looking professional.
