Car Wraps and Vehicle Graphics – New Ways to Customize the Look of Your Vehicle!
If you’re like many auto enthusiasts, you chose your vehicle because of some unique features that make it different and that set it apart in a crowd. You might have even invested in some aftermarket components to increase performance or to modify the car’s appearance with the intent of making it distinctly yours. Did you know that vinyl wraps and graphics can create another great way to customize the look of your car, truck, van, RV, or other vehicle? Car wraps and vehicle graphics aren’t just for businesses to use as fleet advertising! New wrap materials offer some visually attractive options for vehicle owners who want to achieve a unique “look” in their vehicles’ appearance.
Instead of the expense and potential risk associated with a new paint job, custom wraps and graphics can be safely installed and later removed. This feature is particularly important in the case of exotic vehicles that can potentially lose resale value with an aftermarket paint job. In contrast, a car wrap and vehicle graphics allow you to customize your vehicle during your time of ownership, and the wrap and/or graphics can later be cleanly removed for resale purposes.
Mobile advertising using car wraps and vehicle graphics has rapidly become a powerful and extremely cost-effective means for increasing a business’ exposure to a much larger audience than traditional store-front signage achieves.
As a result of the popularity of mobile advertising, many new wrap materials have been developed to provide increasingly improved performance characteristics including outdoor durability, color fastness, clean removability, and installation on complex vehicle body curves.
These new materials enhance the available cosmetic options for personal, custom car wraps and vehicle graphics. In addition to wrap vinyl that can be digitally printed in full color with complex patterns and photo-realistic images, some wrap materials are solid, opaque colors including a dramatic matte black wrap that is becoming increasingly popular for high-end and exotic vehicles. Other wrap material options simulate the look of carbon fiber, diamond plate, or actual vehicle paint in brilliant colors to accent a vehicle’s appearance.
Combinations of these materials can be used to wrap or cover the complete vehicle body or even as a partial wrap to cover portions of the vehicle such as the hood, fenders, or roof. In addition, these materials are frequently used as accents on mirror shells, spoilers, etc. Contrasting colors and/or contrasting finishes (such as gloss vinyl accents on a matte black wrap) create visually stimulating graphics that are sure to make your vehicle a one-of-a-kind!
