What else should be taken into account before the total pasting of the body?
When preparing the pattern file for loading into the plotter's memory, you need to determine the list of body parts that will require wrapping the film when pasting. The corresponding elements of the pattern need to be scaled in a graphic editor, providing a sufficient supply of film for doorways.
Before buying a film, it is necessary to determine the size of the widest element of the pattern. This information will help you not to lose with the width of the roll of the purchased protective material. Next, you need to compactly group all the elements of the electronic pattern in a graphic editor and find out their total area using a scale of linear measurements. This data will help to calculate the optimal footage of the protective material in a roll of a specific width and predict the costs of pasting the machine with high accuracy.
If you plan to paste over the entire body according to patterns, you should remember that its individual elements are subject to mechanical damage to varying degrees. Because of this, during prolonged operation of the film, more scuffs may be observed on some parts of it than on others. To avoid deterioration of the appearance of the body in this case, the choice of a film with a self-healing front layer will help.
By purchasing a template for the bumper of a car and other body elements, you need to correctly plan the order of pasting parts. So that some parts do not interfere with the pasting of others, it is necessary to form a list of elements that are subject to temporary dismantling, simultaneously determining the order of their removal and installation in their regular place.
