i say you walk up to a parked wrapped van and just start peeling! LMAO!
seriously though, it can be that easy if its fairly new and not weathered. take into account many things, age, temps, etc... if the van has been raked against tree limbs for a year then i PROMISE it wont be that easy with little tears throughout the vinyl. it will rip and rip and rip. vinyl is also a lot different to remove in summer vs spring vs winter, if you are doing it outdoors. many many things to take into account for ANY of this discussion/argument.
as for me: ill agree to disagree on this one. i could keeping typing responses but at the end of the day...

You are the dead horse my friend. Calling this a "FIGHT" shows your mind set. You are the one criticizing. You are the one who keeps on insisting that vinyl is crap. I HAVE removed a wrap and it was much different than peeling sign vinyl, certainly nothing compared to a paint job. How many vehicle wraps have you removed?

You do not know WHAT was on those gas pumps that you removed. Gas stations do not typically use lamination because the graphics are screen printed on the vinyl. The thick lamination makes a HUGE difference in removal. Additionally, Control Tac has not been used for very long and you were likely replacing non laminated standard vinyl with the newer CT.

If you want to be prejudiced to other art forms no one can stop you. Unfortunately, you become the EPIC FAIL. Vannin is about diversity. It is about trying something new, creating something different, and appreciating someone else's creativity and talent.

You, are a stone thrower. That doesn't fly around here.

LOL @ your post! vannin isnt the only diverse automotive art form my friend. vinyl vs paint is much like the rod guys debating billet vs steel. at the end of the days, DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS! they both have benefits and flaws! as does anything...

There are many people on here that have posted they like paint more than vinyl. That is fine.

The difference is that you are going around saying ignorant things about vinyl. "vinyl will not last 2 years" "vinyl always peels at the corners" "I would rather repaint my van than strip a wrap" ON AND ON. I have made no such ridiculous claims and neither has anyone else.

All I have said from the beginning is that vinyl is a valid alternative to paint. I am glad that you have come around.
