Temporary Wrap over a Wrap

I have a client that needs a short-term temporary wrap installed on his already wrapped food truck (IJ180cV3/8518). The short-term wrap is for a television event and will only be on the truck for about a week. I told him he's better off to have his current wrap removed, the temporary wrap installed, temporary wrap removed, and then his wrap reinstalled. I just thought I would get other opinions hopefully from someone who has had the same situation, just in case there is an option I'm missing.

Thanks,
Allen

Yep - right over the top of the existing but use BusMark or and equivalent easy to remove short term vinyl. We do a lot of transit stuff so I'm partial to BusMark myself. Stuff is cheap, farily easy to work with and a dream to remove.

Let me clarify, we would be re-installing the original design. We designed, printed, and installed the original wrap so I have the files ready to go. It would be a breeze.

And just a thousand or two $ extra for the customer in order to have a week's temporary install done the way you proposed? Or are you eating the cost yourself?

Can't just do a partial that covers certain elements?
Also noted that magnets still work over an existing wrap

wrap over the current one, tell the customer that you will do your best not to wreck the original wrap. if you can remove it successfully you get a happy customer, if not you get more cash....

This, and put it in writing with customer's signature so your butt is covered in case their is damage to the original wrap.

This is a food truck. There is a television taping of a competition between two chefs and they will be cooking in a food truck. Don't know of a company that has fully stocked food trucks for rent.

Sorry missed that part.

I would install overtop with something like phototex, food trucks are pretty much square anyways.
