Each boat design will have a Pantone color specified of the primary and secondary colors, giving you a good idea to the color of the wrap. There are many factors that play into the final color of your wrap though. The existing base color has an effect as well as the surrounding colors used in the wrap as well as other parts of your boat. Watercraft Designs produces unique designs created in-house by our design team to look the way we determine a best fit for the market. Keep in mind that your digital screen on your computer or phone will likely not represent the final color accurately. When you paint an entire boat with a solid color you will get a smooth consistent color on the entire surface. When you wrap a boat with a printed vinyl the color may shift slightly between panels and also the color may shift slightly in certain areas where you have to heat the vinyl to make the vinyl conform to complex curves. This color shift on complex curves is mostly apparent when solid coverage colors are used in the wrap. Again, these conditions are typically accepted as a limitation of the vinyl wrapping process and are an acceptable condition for an artistic boat wrap where the boat will be viewed on a moving vehicle from a standard viewable distance of 15 feet or more away from the vehicle.

Boat wraps should be replaced every 3 to 4 years. Most vinyl manufactures such as 3M and Avery recommend this to allow for clean removals. The problem is most boat owners want to gain maximum exposure of their wrap, and leave the vinyl on the boat for too long and the vinyl begins to crack. This is not good. As soon as you see the vinyl beginning to crack this is the sign that that wrap should be removed in that area and rewrapped if needed. Horizontal surfaces such as the bow and tunnel receive extreme sun and heat damage. In many cases the sun will bake the vinyl into the finish of the boat on these horizontal surfaces if the vinyl remains on the boat for more than 4 years. Most boat wrap vinyl materials are guaranteed to remove cleanly from vertical surfaces for up to 4 years when applied onto the original finish. If the vinyl looks cracked that means the sun and heat exposure has damaged the original vinyl and the heat has backed it into the boat’s finish surface. If this is the case when you remove the vinyl in that area finish damage may occur. When the vinyl is cracked like this, it will peel off only is small pieces when you begin to remove it. When the vinyl has expired its term of clean removability, paint damage may be unavoidable and Watercraft Designs will not be held liable for any finish damage that results from expired vinyl with prolonged exposure to the sun and heat. In many cases if you have striping on the boat prior to a new boat wrap the old vinyl has become weak over the years of sun exposure prior to the new wrap. In some extreme cases when the wrap has been on the boat for more than 4 years or been in extreme weather such as Havasu, the wrap may no longer be removable so the vehicle may need to go to a body shop to be sanded and repainted. It is the duty and responsibility of the owner of the boat to ensure the suitability of the existing surface before it is wrapped.
Watercraft Designs is not responsible for any damage to the boat finish. Most wraps come off without any issue what so ever, but conditions of the existing finish, conditions the boat is stored in, the weather, washing procedures, and more all play an impact on the successful life and removal of a wrap.
