The good news is that a well-executed vinyl wrap will last for years, about 5 to 7 years to be precise. For some people, that might be the entire ownership period of that particular car. After 5 to 7 years, the natural wear and tear that occurs on the wrap will begin to show. The vinyl will start to crack, peel and fade in color. It has been bearing the brunt of the sun’s UV radiation for all that time, of course.
