Why You Should Consider Wrapping Your Car

We get that not everybody sees what we at Wraptor see in the everyday auto—a work of art, a marvel of engineering, a loyal friend—but we have a feeling you do. That’s why we’re excited about modern technology that helps us strike a balance between practicality and fun: vinyl wrap. Let’s talk about it.

An Easy Win for Convenience

If you're looking for a dramatic change, a creative project, or a way to advertise your brand, vinyl wrap beats paint in price and speed.

Getting a new paint job can be both time-consuming and expensive, often costing more than $10,000 for your dream color. In contrast, a wrap job from us covering the same amount of car currently costs around $3,350 on average, putting custom designs further in reach.

Most of our projects are completed within four days to a week, depending on the design. Wrap materials offer advantages that make them not only easier to apply compared to other customization methods, but also faster to repair and remove—if you have the right tools and know what you’re doing.

Altogether, wraps are like a shortcut to a fast, clean new look that's also easy to remove when it's time to move on. 

A Cost-Effective Alternative to PPF

Your car's factory paint protects the metal underneath, but it can scratch easily and fade in the sun.

Extra protection can stretch your efforts a long way beyond just washing and care. Waxes are affordable and offer some protection for a short time, while Paint Protection Film (PPF) is costly but tough, often lasting ten years.

Vinyl wrap material is thick enough to protect from minor chips, scuffs, and scratches from everyday wear while shielding the car from moisture and harmful UV rays. A well-installed wrap that’s cared for properly can last anywhere from 2 to 5 years, depending on whether it’s calendared or cast film. When it's time to sell or trade in your vehicle, having cared for your paint will have cared for its value.

Of course, if you're needing some serious protection, you might be interested in hearing more about PPF. We offer it too, so keep your tires warm for another article coming soon.

A Little and a Lot of Customization

The biggest reason we love vinyl wrap (and have made it the core of our business) is the endless creativity it offers. You can wrap the entire car or just specific areas, like roofs, mirrors, or logos. 

The brands we work with offer an ample array of colors, patterns, finishes, and effects, each with their own potential and price point. From mesmerizing chameleon-shifts to understated mattes, with so many options, there's bound to be a wrap as unique as you are.

On the professional end, Private businesses regularly benefit from advertising their name and services on fleet vehicles, trusting the material to endure the road. Driving your own billboard stewards funds effectively and gives your brand a sense of pride and legitimacy.

We don’t gatekeep, though. Anyone with something to say or a project they care about is worth customizing for. Artists, schools, teams, friends, dreamers—with custom printed wraps, there's virtually no limit to what you can dream up and we can deliver.
