HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO COLOR WRAP A VEHICLE?
There is no mathematical answer to it since there are a lot of variables that can affect the entire installation process.
BUT before naming a few of those variables, we can share that the average turn around in the full color change car
wrap industry varies from 3 to 6/7 business days.
Why so much difference? Well, that is when the variables come into play:
-
Size of the car (2 doors – 4 doors – SUV…)
-
Contrast between the original color of the car and film selected ( Example: white original paint car requesting black wrap will require a higher level of details)
-
Complexity of the car. (All bumpers are different – wings – body kits – antennas – door handles – badges – air vents etc…)
-
Level of installation and disassembling
-
The amount of installers working at the same time
” It takes 6 months to build a Rolls Royce and 13 hours to build a toyota”
As a point of reference, a full color change car wrap cost will range from $2,500 to $4,000 in Miami at a professional and experienced car wrap shop We friendly WARN uneducated customers who tell us they found someone offering them a car wrap for less than $2,000. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR – there are no cutting corners in this industry if you are looking for quality and professionalism Please do your research and visit shops in person before dropping off your valuable vehicle and trusting anyone based on a cheaper price
HOW LONG DOES A VEHICLE WRAP LAST?
The average expected car wrap lifespan is from 3 to 10 years. A lot depends on where the vehicle is parked and the level of care the owner is giving to his vehicle. The elements are tough on cars ( heat of the sun, UV, rain, tree sap, bird droppings, moisture, salt water…). A vehicle wrap is like a second skin added to your car but it does not mean you get to neglect it. It must be cleaned regularly. Materials are getting more and more durable every year, but remember, a vehicle wrap is not a permanent solution.
MY CAR IS A LEASE, CAN IT BE WRAPPED?
Of course!!! This is the beauty of a car wrap. It can be removed before returning your car to the dealer. This is something you cannot do with a custom paint job. It’s not a permanent finish and will protect your paint finish until removed.
WHAT KIND OF WARRANTY DO I GET?
Most car wrap manufacturer’s warranty is up to 3 years.
As a professional shop, we offer a 100% satisfaction warranty. We extend a complimentary checkup appointment to review how the car wrap behaved for a period of 30 days from the delivery of the vehicle. We will also replace at no cost any panels if there is a reasonable cause of action

DO I NEED TO PREP MY CAR BEFORE INSTALLATION?
We would greatly appreciate it if your vehicle is not covered in excessive dirt/debris. Our prep phase is the most crucial in order to deliver the best and longest lasting installation. Preparation can take up to several hours for a perfectly clean vehicle so it is very important for our work environment to be dust /dirt free to begin with. Please give a simple wash (no wax) either on the day of, or the day before dropping off your vehicle. Dirty vehicles will be charged an additional cleaning fee
IS DISASSEMBLING RECOMMENDED TO ACHIEVE PERFECTION?
YES, we strive to make each installation as perfect as possible. This is the reason why disassembling is needed in most installations to compare it to the level of a professional paint job. Black paint finish cars require the least amount of disassembling and are faster to install.
WHAT IF MY CAR WRAP IS DAMAGED IN AN ACCIDENT?
You can contact your insurance to add your wrap to your policy. They will replace the wrap in case of an accident.
WHY ARE YOUR PRICES HIGHER THAN OTHER INSTALLERS I HAVE CALLED?
We truly believe that you get what you pay for. Our company does not price match nor are we affected by companies that charge less. We work in a low volume environment and are not aiming for quantity but quality.We focus on providing the highest degree of installation excellence; thus, our pricing structure reflects this. On the other hand, we are not mobile and have shop expenses including insurance, professional licenses… that most “installers” don’t carry. Our shop is monitored 24/7 by cameras and we are able to work in the best environment possible for high quality car wrap installation. We have a proven track record with hundreds of full wraps since 2011.

AND WAXED?
We do not recommend it unless you wish to let us handle it with the professional car care products we use specifically for vehicle car wrap care.

Remember there is no warranty coverage for these.
WHAT ABOUT CERAMIC COATING?
Since the end of 2017, CERAMIC PRO coating for vinyl has been introduced and we are extremely happy with the results. It makes the vinyl easier to clean and protect it more from UV’s and aging offering more longevity.
