Vehicle Wraps & Coverage
What's the difference between a full and partial wrap?
A full wrap covers the entire vehicle for maximum visibility and a complete color change if desired. A partial wrap covers specific panels, doors, hood, or tailgate, for a lower cost entry point while still building real brand presence.
What types of vehicles do you wrap?
Cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, box trucks, trailers, and full commercial fleets. We also handle specialty projects like building and wall wraps, school and bus wraps, boat wraps, and vinyl banners.
Do you wrap fleets, not just single vehicles?
Yes, we build fleet wrap programs so every vehicle in your fleet carries consistent branding from one reusable design template.
Can you design around ladder racks, tool boxes, or other mounted equipment?
Yes, we design the layout around whatever’s already installed on your vehicle so the wrap works cleanly with your equipment instead of getting blocked or cut awkwardly by it.
Pricing & Process
How much does a vehicle wrap cost?
Cost depends on your vehicle’s size, whether you want a full or partial wrap, and design complexity. Contact us for a free, exact quote based on your specific vehicle.
What does the process actually look like from start to finish?
It’s three steps, all handled in-house. Our design team turns your ideas into a custom concept, our print team produces the vinyl graphics, and our install team handles the application, either at our Mansfield shop or on-site across DFW.
How long does a wrap take, from first call to finished vehicle?
Timeline depends on design complexity and current scheduling, but we can walk you through a realistic estimate once we understand your project. Contact us with your timeline and we’ll tell you what’s achievable.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes, every quote is free with no obligation. Reach out by phone, email, or the contact form and we’ll get you an exact number.
Can you work with a design I already have?
Yes, we can produce a wrap from artwork you provide, or design something from scratch based on your branding and goals.
Service Area
What areas do you serve?
We serve the full DFW metroplex from our Mansfield shop, including Arlington, Burleson, Cedar Hill, Dallas, DeSoto, Fort Worth, Grand Prairie, Midlothian, and Waxahachie.
Do you install on-site, or do I have to bring my vehicle to you?
Both. We handle on-site and off-site installation across the DFW area, whether we produced the materials or not.
How do I know you're actually close to me?
Check our Service Areas page for the city nearest you, most DFW addresses are a short, direct drive from our Mansfield shop.
Materials & Durability
How long does a vehicle wrap last?
A properly installed and maintained wrap typically lasts several years with normal use, even for vehicles that see daily driving and regular outdoor exposure.
Does a wrap damage the paint underneath?
No, a professionally installed and removed wrap protects the factory paint rather than damaging it. The original finish is preserved once the wrap comes off.
How do I take care of a wrapped vehicle?
Hand washing with a mild, pH-neutral soap is best. Avoid automatic car washes with brushes, especially in the first week while the vinyl fully cures, and skip wax or polish products made for painted surfaces, vinyl doesn’t need them.
Is it cheaper to wrap a vehicle than to paint it?
Generally yes, a wrap installs directly over your existing paint rather than requiring the vehicle to be stripped down and professionally repainted in multiple coats.
Design & Customization
How much creative input do I get in the design?
As much as you want. We can work from a fully finished design you provide, a rough idea and some direction, or start from scratch based on your branding and goals, the process adapts to where you’re starting from.
Can you design around a logo or branding I already have?
Yes, we work from your existing logo files, brand colors, and fonts so the wrap reads as an extension of your current branding rather than something disconnected from it.
How many rounds of revisions do I get before we print?
It varies by project, but we work collaboratively through the design phase until you’re satisfied before anything goes to print, most projects land after a few rounds of feedback.
What if I don't have a design at all, just an idea?
That’s common, and it’s where our design team does the most work, turning a rough concept or a general direction into a finished, print-ready design.
Do you offer specialty wraps beyond standard vehicles?
Yes, we handle building and wall wraps, murals, school and bus wraps, boat wraps, window wraps, and vinyl banners in addition to vehicle wraps.
Can you incorporate a mascot, character, or illustrated artwork into the design?
Yes, custom illustrated characters and mascots are a common request, especially for fleet vehicles and specialty wraps like school buses, and we can design one from scratch or work with artwork you already have.
Do you design murals for interior spaces, not just vehicles?
Yes, interior wall murals and lobby branding are a common project, separate from or alongside any vehicle work you’re considering.
Can you match my wrap design across multiple vehicle types, like a van and a trailer?
Yes, we build a consistent design template that adapts across different vehicle shapes and sizes, so a van, a pickup, and a trailer in the same fleet all carry the same recognizable branding.
Care & Maintenance
How do I wash a wrapped vehicle?
Hand washing with a mild, pH-neutral soap is the safest method. Avoid automatic car washes with spinning brushes, since those can catch an edge or seam and cause premature lifting.
How long should I wait before washing a new wrap?
Give it about a week before running it through anything beyond a gentle rinse, that gives the vinyl time to fully cure and bond to the surface.
Can I use Dawn dish soap or another degreaser on a wrap?
It’s not recommended. Dish soap is formulated to strip grease, and over time it can also strip the protective top layer of the vinyl. A dedicated car wash soap is a safer everyday choice.
Do I need to wax or seal a vehicle wrap?
No, vinyl doesn’t need wax or polish the way painted surfaces do, and some wax products can actually dull the finish or leave residue. Regular hand washing is enough to keep it looking sharp.
What if my wrap gets a small scrape or tear?
A localized patch repair is often possible without redoing the whole panel. Contact us and we can assess the damage and recommend whether a spot fix or full-panel replacement makes more sense.
Does a wrap need anything different if my vehicle is parked outside most of the day?
Not structurally, a properly installed wrap on a UV-stable film is built to handle regular sun exposure, though consistent washing helps it hold its color and finish longer over time.
Can a wrapped vehicle go through an automatic car wash at all?
Touchless automatic washes are generally fine. It’s specifically the washes with spinning brushes that pose a risk to the wrap’s edges and seams.
