F.A.Q.

What’s involved in a Vehicle Wrap?

 

Vehicle and fleet wraps are comprised of three phases. The first is the design phase which includes getting accurate measurements for the vehicle and actual design of the graphics to be applied. The second is the production phase where the graphic is printed and then laminated to protect the vinyl from abrasions and UV rays that can cause graphics to fade over time. The third phase is installation where the vinyl is actually applied to your vehicle.

What's the difference between a partial wrap and a full wrap?

 

Anything less than a full wrap is normally called a “partial wrap.” ½ partial wrap normally includes the entire rear of the vehicle and ½ way up the vehicle, and includes a hood logo. ¾ partial wrap normally includes the entire rear of the vehicle and ¾ way up the vehicle, and includes a hood logo. Typically, a Full Wrap includes the entire surface of the vehicle. 

How long will the wrap stay on my vehicle?

 

In general, a high performance cast vinyl wrap using solvent long life inks and a UV protective over-laminate can last 3 to 6 years.

Will a Vehicle Wrap damage my paint?

 

In most cases vehicle wraps will not damage factory paint jobs. It is important to talk with your supplier and possibly pre-test your paint job prior to wrapping with vinyl. Paint in poor condition will peel when vinyl is removed.

Do I have to wash my vehicle before installation?

 

Yes. All vehicles have to be free of dust, mud, wax, oil, armor-all type products, and other agents that may prevent the vinyl from adhering to the vehicle surface during the installation process. If you don't wash your vehicle we'll do it for you. Even if you clean the vehicle yourself we will still do some prep work to the vehicle to ensure it is ready for the vehicle wrap. 

06

How long will it take to wrap my vehicle?

 

Time to do wraps vary widely from project to project. However, in general vehicle wraps can be done in significantly less time than painting. Paint jobs normally require curing and drying time and much more preparation than a vehicle wrap. Often a full wrap applied by two or three installers on a standard automobile can be done in one to two days. If you use your truck during the week, we can do it on Saturday or Sunday. . 

07

If my vinyl vehicle wrap graphics are damaged, can they be fixed?

 

Yes. You can normally have the damaged pieces or panels of your vehicle wrap replaced after your vehicle is repaired. You normally do not need to redo the entire wrap if the damage is limited to certain areas of the vehicle.. 

08

What is considered when calculating the cost of a Vehicle Wrap?

 

There are several things to consider: Design Time, Materials (including vinyl and lamination), Print, and Installation. Size of the vehicle, amount of the vehicle to be wrapped and type of vehicle play a part in cost. In general, vehicles with compound-curves, or indentions, like a VW Bug or PT Cruiser are more difficult and more expensive to wrap than a box van with flat surfaces. Partial wraps are a great way to minimize cost as opposed to a full wrap. Cast (High Performance) Vinyl is more expensive than Calendered (Intermediate) Vinyl and lasts longer. . . 

09

Can you easily remove vinyl graphics used for wraps?

 

TYes, in most cases, if you follow guidelines from us. In general, all vinyls tend to be harder to remove the longer they remain on the vehicle because the adhesives tend to build up a bond over time. Heat is often used to soften the vinyl and its adhesive in order to assist in the removal of the vinyl. There are also special chemicals and special tools available to assist in the removal of vinyl.
