Liquid vinyl (or liquid rubber) is a material that protects paintwork, plastic and metal surfaces not only from dirt, but also from small scratches. After complete drying, the coating becomes more elastic. If necessary, the material can be easily removed. Today you can buy liquid vinyl in various shades. Each such coating has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Benefits
Liquid vinyl includes all the benefits of paint film. You can apply such a coating in the garage. To paint the vehicle with auto enamel, a special room is required. Liquid vinyl is applied, like regular paint, using a conventional spray can. You can also use a spray gun. This allows you to cover even those elements that are in hard to reach places.
You can apply liquid vinyl on the paintwork, like a regular film. However, the coating has a slight drawback. Such material is applied evenly and colors the car in one tone. With the help of liquid vinyl there is no way to create a volumetric color or an original drawing.
However, liquid vinyl can perfectly replace ordinary film and protect any coatings from dust and minor damage.
Glossy and matte finish
At the moment, liquid vinyl for cars is being sold in stores, the price of which is relatively low. This material is of two main types: glossy and matte. However, when applying this or that coating, it is worth considering the recommendations of the manufacturers. So, in order to obtain a glossy surface, it is necessary to apply several layers of liquid material. For some, this method will be unusual. After all, many are used to the fact that there is no need to apply a glossy anti-gravel on a matte film . But do not forget that with liquid vinyl everything is somewhat different.
The most common is matte colored material. To make a glossy coating of it, it is necessary to apply a layer of special liquid vinyl. Of course, there is more work in this case. However, this does not greatly increase the cost of the finished coating.
Not so long ago, liquid colored vinyl appeared on sale, after applying which the surface immediately becomes glossy. The use of such material allows you to save. After all, the need to apply a second layer disappears.
Clear liquid vinyl
A similar material is mainly used to create an anti-gravel coating. Transparent liquid vinyl for cars, the price of which is about 540 rubles per liter, allows you to protect the bodywork from minor damage and dirt. Moreover, the material has the same properties as a conventional film. Liquid clear vinyl can also be glossy or matte.
Benefits of Clear Liquid Coating
It is worth noting that this material has certain advantages. When using a film, some body parts are very difficult to paste so that no joints are visible. Often, these shortcomings also spoil the external Vedas of the vehicle. Liquid vinyl allows you to cover any elements with a uniform layer. A similar material can be used in combination with an anti-gravel film. You can apply liquid vinyl in one layer. At the same time, there is a pattern: the more coating layers are applied, the better the details will be protected.
Liquid vinyl, the price of which depends on the shade and properties of the coating, can be applied independently. After all, such material is evenly distributed over any surface. It can be easily applied to the hood, trunk, bumper, fenders and roof of the vehicle. Liquid vinyl is usually sold in cans or aerosol cans. The owner of the car can simply spray it. It takes a little time. And this is another advantage of such coverage.
