Are you thinking of adding a new advertising medium for your business? Vehicle wraps are a great way of using an asset that you already own – the car, truck or van associated with your company – and then turning its sides and roof into advertising spaces. The knowledgeable vehicle wrap experts at Spotlight Signs and Imaging Solutions get a lot of questions about this marketing method from clients. Here is a vehicle wrap FAQs for Gilbert, AZ, businesses.
Q: How long does it take you to install my wrap, and how long will it last?
A: Our business clients know that time is money. We can usually commit to a two-day turn-around on your car wrap order. Unless your vehicle is exceptionally large or needs extraordinary prep work, it should not take more than 48 hours. Once installed, you get between five and nine years of useful life out of your wrap.
Q: Will the wrap damage my car’s paintjob when it comes time to remove it?
A: No, it will not. We usually request that you do not bring a car with a paintjob that is newer than 30 days just to give the paint a chance to fully cure. Once applied, the wrap comes off easily for the first three years. If you decide to leave the wrap on for the full nine years, we usually have to remove adhesive residue separately from the vinyl. By the way, adding a wrap actually benefits the look of your vehicle. Since the paint is protected from the UV rays of the sun, it should look pristine on the day of wrap removal.
Q: Can you fix damages to my wrap after installation?
A: Whether you are in a car accident or have an associate who is a bit too heavy-handed when loading things into the van, we can fix the wrap on your crumpled fender or scratched door. Take your car, truck or van to the mechanic first to fix the structural issues. Then, bring the vehicle to us. We keep your wrap art on file, which allows us to print out the section of the wrap that got damaged. Replacing it is quick and easy.
Q: What is the difference between a full wrap, a partial wrap and decals?
A: A full wrap means that we spread your advertising message via durable vinyl onto all surfaces of your vehicle. Possible exceptions are the windows. A partial wrap means that we leave the hood and the roof alone but wrap the sides and back. Decals are die-cut pieces of vinyl that are applied to your automobile. When combined with lettering, they might spell out your company’s name, display your logo, and offer contact information. There is usually none of the artwork that makes wraps pop.
Q: How do I know that my wrap will not turn into a bubbling or peeling nightmare in a week?
A: We offer warranties. We offer a standard 120-day warranty on all of our vehicle wrap installations. During this length of time, any mistakes that we might have made will become very obvious. The vinyl itself is usually warranted by the manufacturer. Oracal, Avery and 3M – the manufacturers whose products we prefer – usually offer solid warranties on any vinyl used in professionally installed wraps.
