Questions to Ask When Considering a Vehicle Wrap

Vehicle wraps are advantageous for those who want to get their business out there. At Chief Graphix, we have graphic design experts that can install this type of moving billboard for your business fast and efficiently! But before we do so, we want to make sure we answer all of your questions:

Q: What exactly is a vinyl wrap?
A: A vinyl wrap is a thin vinyl material that we use to print a customized idea. Once the idea has been brought to life, we wrap it around your vehicle to a perfect fit, making it look seamless.

Q: Why choose wrap over paint?
A: If you paint over the original manufactured color, you risk the chance of devaluing your vehicle. However, when you choose to wrap your vehicle, you can select an any color and design without needing to worry about keeping your resale value intact.

Q: How long will it last?
A: Your vehicle wrap will be made to last for several years without fading from prolonged sun exposure. And because the material we use is so durable, it will not rip or wrinkle easily. But if you choose to remove your vinyl wrap, we are able to do so safely without causing any damage to your vehicle.

Q: Can I wash my car with a wrap?
A: Absolutely! You can purchase a custom vehicle wrap knowing that you can wash (or wax) it without ruining anything. Our vehicle wraps are easy to maintain -  just by using soap and water, you can make it look brand new again!

How a Vinyl Car Wrap Works

We can’t think of anything more eye-catching than a customized vinyl car wrap for your vehicle. If you’re looking for a vinyl car wrap to make your brand stand out from the rest, Chief Graphix can help! Here’s what you can expect when you choose custom wrapping with us:

1. Clean and prep. Before we apply customized vinyl wrap to your vehicle, we make sure to fix up any rust or scratches that might be visibly noticeable. Rule of thumb is that if you can see it, it will most likely show through the vinyl wrap. That is why we do all we can to prep your car first!
2. Make it stick. Depending on the type of vehicle, we will cut the vinyl wrap into sections before applying it, so that it will cover the entire car by individual sections. Then, magnets are often used to hold the vinyl in place until the backing is removed and the adhesive is exposed.
3. Smooth it out. After your vinyl car wrap is applied, it’s important to roll over any curves, air bubbles, or other imperfections to make the wrap look seamless. We know that every car is shaped differently, which is why we are careful when working out the kinks.
4. Adjust the fit. An essential part of making your vinyl car wrap look its best is to stretch it and allow it to shrink back. Oftentimes using a torch to stretch it out is the ideal approach; however, it’s essential to prevent burning any parts of the vinyl. Pre-stretching is another way to adjust the fit to your vehicle.
5. Cut around the edges. We know that even the little imperfections can make a difference, which is why we pay close attention to detail. Part of perfecting the overall look of a vinyl car wrap includes cutting off the edges with a utility knife.
