No it wouldn't trap any moisture, as the vinyl sticks to the car leaving no room for air or moisture to penetrate. I am also not taking the car to bare metal, just making it smooth because the vinyl will show any imperfections in the paint (stone chips, deep stratches, pealed layers). I will use a spray can of primer to make sure there is a layer of primer there before placing the vinyl and to help with smoothing out all the imperfections. I have a lot of stone chips on the front and flag mirrors. Plus I want to make sure there is no more peeling paint as this would cause the adhesive on the vinyls to pull away.
