Frequently asked questions about Vehicle Wrapping

Q: What is a car wrap? Is it paint?
A: A car wrap is a hi-tech vinyl covering that is adhered directly to your car. The application is so precise; it is often mistaken for a custom paint job.


Q: Will a vehicle wrap damage my vehicle's paint upon removal?
A: No. In all of our experiences, the only time a vehicle's paint may be affected is in the case of a poor repaint job. Factory paint, in 99.0% of instances, is not affected by our wraps.


Q: Will you wrap a leased vehicle?
A: Yes, like any other vehicle, the wrap can easily be removed without any damage at the end of the lease.


Q: How long will a wrap last on my vehicle?
A: Our wraps normally outlast the vehicle. You can expect your wrap to last 3-5 years or longer, providing you are careful about power washing.


Q: Does it matter what colour my car is?
A: No, a car wrap is not translucent; you cannot see through it.

Q: Why should I use Car Wraps as opposed to painted or vinyl lettering?
