Q.
How long does it take to get my car wrapped?
A. The average Car, SUV, Van and PU Truck takes
24 hours to print the graphics, let them gas
off overnight, laminate and trim and prep for
install. Installation takes 1 day. So the average
vehicle wrap takes approximately 2 days from
when the art is approved to finish. Large trucks
and buses double the time.

Q. Art Work and Design
A. We can create a wrap from your supplied
design or we can create the design for you.
If we create the design we will email proofs
of the design in a template of your vehicle
for you to approve or make changes until you
approve the design. If you choose to create
your own design we can provide vehicle templates
and guidance on dos and don'ts. We will also
provide technical info on file formats, resolutions,
allowing for bleed and programs that work
best like Illustrator and Photoshop.

Q.
Will the wrap damage the paint?
A. Although
the different manufacturers have different
warranties covering this, the reality is this.
Factory paint jobs covering the body of the
car are unaffected by wrapping. However accessory
parts of the cars can be affected for example
plastic and rubber parts, trim around windows
that may be painted, etc.
Repeated wrapping and rewrapping can eventually
take the paint off over a period of years.
Non factory paint jobs that are not baked
on could peel the paint. During installation
we use heat to mold the material around curves
so if your vehicle has been Clear Coated the
heat could cause the clear coat to bubble
up destroying the finish.

Q.
How long does my wrap last?
A. This can
only be answered in general because it depend
on the area you live desert verses coastal
more mild climates, is the car parked out
side all the time, how often is it washed
do you wax it with non Carnauba Wax, etc.
So in general the average car wrap last approximately
3 years. If cared for properly and parked
inside the last many years longer. If not
cleaned and cared for properly and constantly
outside
the will not last as long. The biggest threat
to car wraps is a atmospheric condition that
can occur in certain areas that little is
known about called acid rain. We have only
experienced a few cases over a period of years
but think it is worth mentioning to protect
your investment. The manufactures do not warranty
for atmospheric conditions but to protect
your car we have these care and cleaning instructions.

Q.
Vehicle wraps removal of your wrap and vinyl
lettering.
A. The longer
the wrap or vinyl lettering is on your vehicle
exposed to the sun and extreme cold the more
difficult it is to remove. Generally we remove
wraps every 3 years and they come off pretty
easy. We use heat in the winter to remove
the wrap and in the summer they come off easier
because it is warmer.
