Vehicle Wraps & Color Change Wraps in Smithfield, NC

Business owners who want their truck working for them, and enthusiasts changing color.

The short answer

A vehicle wrap is printed or colored cast vinyl applied over your factory paint. It changes the look completely or turns the vehicle into rolling advertising, and because it is film rather than paint it comes off later with the original finish intact.

Color change vs. commercial wrap

A color change wrap is about the finish — gloss, satin, matte, chrome-delete accents, a complete change from silver to satin black. A commercial wrap is about the message: your logo, services, phone number and web address sized so someone can read it from the next lane. Both use the same install skill; the design work is what differs.

Full, partial and spot graphics

Full wraps cover every painted panel and give total design freedom. Partial wraps cover doors, rear quarters and the tailgate — often 70% of the visual impact for a fraction of the cost. Spot graphics are cut lettering and logos for a clean, professional look on a work vehicle without wrapping the whole thing.

Why the install shop matters more than the vinyl

Everyone buys similar material. What separates a wrap that still looks sharp in year four from one peeling at the bumper in month six is prep, panel removal, edge work and post-heating. We have wrapped everything from a shuttle bus to an F-350, and we wrap edges instead of hoping adhesive holds on a corner.

Common questions

+How long does a vehicle wrap last?

Cast vinyl with a proper laminate typically lasts several years outdoors in North Carolina. Garage-kept and hand-washed vehicles do better; a truck that lives in full sun does less.

+Will a wrap damage my paint?

No, when the paint is factory and in good condition. Removed properly the paint underneath is typically better preserved than the surrounding panels. Repainted panels are a risk we discuss before starting.

+How much does a vehicle wrap cost?

It depends on the vehicle size, how much comes apart, and whether it is printed or a solid color change. Send us the year, make and model and we will quote it.

+How do I wash a wrapped vehicle?

Hand wash with mild soap, avoid brush tunnels and high-pressure spray at the edges, and do not wax matte finishes. We go over care at pickup.
