New Year, New Car? Try a Vehicle Wrap Instead

It’s a brand new year, and maybe you think it’s time to treat yourself to a new ride. However, if you love the car you have now but aren’t crazy about the way it looks on the outside, a vehicle wrap is an excellent alternative to getting a new car or even a new paint job.

Vehicle wraps can totally transform the look of your car. Hide scratches and imperfections, or change the color of your car to something you’ve always wanted. Have a gray paint job but wish your car was cherry red? No problem. Or perhaps you have a baby blue car but dream of driving a hot pink ride. That’s easy to accomplish with a vehicle wrap. Want to keep a similar color but for it to be more vibrant or to have texture? A vehicle wrap can do it all at a fraction of the cost of a quality paint job or replacing your car.

What is a Vehicle Wrap?

Vehicle wraps are large sheets of durable vinyl composed of thin micro-layers bonded together using innovative technology. Originally, vehicle wraps were large decals used primarily for commercial advertising on parts of a vehicle, a purpose they’re still widely used for today. Now, they can be used to transform your car’s appearance, be that the texture or the color. 

Benefits of Car Wraps

Vehicle wraps are popular because they can quickly change the look of your car without breaking the bank. If the wrap is eventually removed, it does not damage the original surface. In fact, vehicle wraps help to protect car finishes from dings, scratches, and road debris. They are designed to be durable and withstand extreme weather, variable temperatures, and all kinds of driving conditions.

Furthermore, if you run your own business or have a side hustle, vehicle wraps are very effective tools for mobile advertising. Our technicians will work with you to add your existing logo or branding to your partial or full wrap, or they can help you come up with a custom design.

Customize Your Ride

Vehicle wraps are available in both partial and full wraps. Partial wraps cover specific areas of the car, like the hood, door panels, rear panels, and bumpers. Full wraps change the look of the entire vehicle by changing the color. On the other hand, you can choose a color similar to your car’s existing finish and then add custom details to areas like the hood or door panels. These include racing stripes, flames, images, or other custom graphics. The options are virtually endless!
