Choose your vehicle, wrap style, and coverage for an honest starting range. Every project is unique — think of this as the beginning of the conversation, not the end.
25% ≈ cut vinyl / spot graphics · 50% ≈ partial wrap · 100% = full wrap
It depends on vehicle size, coverage, and design complexity. A partial wrap can look like a full wrap and save serious money. Use the estimator above for an instant ballpark, then contact us for an exact quote.
With quality cast vinyl (we install 3M, Avery, Arlon, and Hexis materials) and proper care, a wrap typically lasts 5–7 years. Sun exposure and washing habits are the biggest factors — see the care answers to the right.
The opposite — a wrap protects your factory paint from sun, stone chips, and minor scuffs. When professionally removed, healthy factory paint is preserved underneath, often helping resale value.
Most full wraps take 3–5 business days from drop-off to pickup. Partial wraps and cut vinyl are often faster. Because our installers are in-house, we move from printing to application faster than the competition.
Vinyl conforms to the surface — it won't hide dents, and it can pull up flaking or repainted areas on removal. We inspect every vehicle first and give you an honest read on what will and won't work.
Yes — as installers, we also apply most client-supplied graphic prints. Bring us your printed graphics and we'll get them on straight.
A color change wrap costs a fraction of a comparable paint job, installs in days, is reversible, and today's vinyls come in textures and finishes paint can't match — matte, satin, chrome, brushed metal, and more.
Hand wash with a mild automotive detergent and a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse with clean water. Avoid brush-style car washes — brushes can lift edges and scratch the vinyl. Touchless washes are fine.
If you must: keep it under 2,000 PSI, use a wide spray pattern, stay at least 12 inches from the surface, and never aim directly at seams or edges.
Wipe fuel spills immediately — fuel degrades vinyl fast. Bird droppings, bug splatter, and tree sap should be soaked with warm soapy water and removed promptly; they etch the surface if left to bake in the sun.
Whenever possible, park in shade or a garage. UV exposure is the number one ager of vinyl — this matters double in sunny Santa Barbara.
Skip regular wax — many contain petroleum solvents that damage vinyl. Ask us about vinyl-safe sealants if you want extra protection, especially on matte or textured finishes (never wax those).
