A wrap is only as good as its install
Vehicle wraps take care and attention to detail. Panels have to line up across doors, film has to be worked into recesses and around handles, and every edge has to be finished so it does not lift in the San Diego sun.
Bring us a finished design, a rough idea or just your logo. Our design team can build the artwork, we print it on cast wrap film and our installers put it on. Want to see what it costs first? Read our vehicle wrap pricing guide or see all vehicle wrap options.
Wraps we install
From a single set of door logos to a whole fleet.
Full wraps
Every painted panel covered, printed or solid color. The biggest visual impact for the money.
Partial wraps
Graphics on part of the vehicle that blend into the paint. A strong look on a tighter budget.
Color change wraps
A new color or finish, gloss, satin or matte, that protects the original paint underneath.
Fleet graphics
Matching graphics across vans, trucks and cars so every vehicle reads as the same brand. See fleet decals.
Lettering and decals
Door logos, phone numbers, DOT numbers and window graphics. Also vehicle magnets.
Trailers and food trucks
Concession trailers, food trucks and box trucks. Big flat sides that work like a billboard.
How a wrap install works
Your vehicle is with us for the install, then it is back on the road.
01
Concept
Bring existing art or a new idea. We measure the vehicle and lay the design out on a template of your exact model.
02
Budget
Full, partial or lettering. We show you options that fit what you want to spend.
03
Timeframe
We schedule around your work. Rush and overnight installs are possible for events and launches.
04
Install and check
Installed indoors, edges finished and post-heated, then walked around with you at pickup.
Before you drop off your vehicle
Film sticks to clean paint, not road grime or wax. A little prep on your end keeps the install on schedule.
Damaged paint, rust or peeling clear coat will show through a wrap and can pull up when the wrap is removed later. Tell us about it up front and we will plan around it.
Drop-off checklist
- Wash the vehicle a day or two before drop-off
- Skip wax, ceramic sprays and tire shine
- Clear out the cab and cargo area
- Remove aftermarket stickers and plate frames if you can
- Point out any paint damage when you drop off

Vehicle wrap installation questions
More answers on our installation FAQ.
How long does a vehicle wrap install take?
It depends on the vehicle and how much of it is covered. Lettering can be quick, a full wrap takes longer. We give you a drop-off and pickup time when we quote.
Will a wrap damage my paint?
Not on healthy factory paint. A quality cast film protects the paint underneath and removes cleanly. Repainted, rusted or peeling surfaces are the exception, so tell us about them first.
Can you wrap a leased vehicle?
Yes. Wraps are a common choice for leased vehicles because they come off at the end of the lease. Check your lease terms first.
Do you wrap whole fleets?
Yes. We set up one design that adapts across vans, trucks and cars, and we schedule installs in batches so your fleet stays on the road.
How do I take care of my wrap?
Hand wash when you can, avoid pressure washing the edges and skip harsh solvents. See our article on how long vehicle wraps last.

Made it with AI? We'll get it ready to print.
Midjourney, ChatGPT, Gemini, Firefly, Ideogram, Canva: send the file from whatever tool you used. Bring an AI wrap concept and we will turn it into a production wrap design fitted to your exact vehicle. Every file gets a free check before you pay for anything.
Print it as-is
If your file already holds up at full size, we confirm the resolution, color and dimensions and send it to production. The check is free.
Fix and finish it
Most AI files need work before they print big: upscaling, a vector redraw, real text in place of garbled letters, a true transparent background, or extending the art to fit. We quote it before we start.
Design from your AI concept
Have a direction but not a final file? Bring your AI concepts and our designers turn them into finished, print-ready artwork for your wrap.
- Low resolution
- Garbled or misspelled text
- Fake transparent backgrounds
- Wrong proportions for the size
- Logos that need a vector file
- Colors that print dull
- Missing bleed
Not sure it will work? Send it anyway and we will tell you what it needs. Please send only art you have the rights to use. We can't print recognizable characters, celebrity likenesses or other companies' logos.
