Christmas Car Graphics

How long has it been since your car’s last color change? Five years? Ten years? Never? If you’re having second thoughts because a paint job is expensive, you have another affordable and high-resolution alternative: vinyl car graphics.

Car graphics and vehicle wraps are printed on sheets of cast or calendered vinyl. Cast vinyl is a premium material that conforms easily to your car’s surface and is best for long-term use as it can last up to five years. Calendered vinyl, on the other hand, is less expensive than cast because it is less durable and is used for short-term vehicle wraps (between three months to one year).

If you’re a car enthusiast and are looking to give yourself a gift this Christmas, here are the main reasons why you should consider installing car graphics:

Vinyl Is More Affordable Than Paint

If you’ve always wanted a classic black finish for your car, a high-quality matte black vinyl car wrap only costs a fraction of the price of a custom matte black paint job. Car graphics or a full wrap will protect the paint job of a brand new car, which helps you maintain its resell value. Don’t keep a classic car inside the garage because it’s meant to be driven. Wrap it in vinyl to keep it in mint condition.

Removability

Besides the price, the main difference between paint jobs and vinyl car graphics is removability. This lets you preserve the original paint on your car, while allowing you to display your sense of style, however flamboyant or simple it may be. Experiment with different graphics such as flames, mythical creatures or tribal tattoos. With car graphics, you know that you can remove them anytime regardless of how often your mood changes. You’ll know that it’s time to remove or change a vehicle wrap when it begins to lose some of its luster.

Consistency

The finish of vinyl is consistent. Vinyl is available in many new different colors and textures, including carbon fiber (black, brown, gold, pearl white, silver, white), gloss, matte, metallic, smoke, and woodgrain. Vinyl wraps also allow you to achieve certain looks that you can’t do with paint. Having all types of colors, textures and design options gives you the option to really create a vehicle all your own.

Leased Vehicles

Since car graphics and wraps are removable, you don’t violate the terms of agreement for a leased car. You can simply remove full or partial vehicle wraps before returning the vehicle to the dealership. This can be a great way to highlight the design features of the car you are leasing without having any kind of permanent changes made. Ultimately the wrap that you would have installed would be able to be pulled off, returning your car to its original color.

Advertising

Painting your vehicle puts it out of commission for two weeks. Wrapping your car only takes two days. If you own a company, you can use wraps to your benefit by advertising your product or service using vehicle wraps. Mobile advertising is becoming more common once again with the explosion of food trucks that are in every major metropolitan area.

All Vehicles

The versatility of vehicle wraps will definitely surprise most people who are not familiar with the malleability of a wrap. When you are looking to wrap a vehicle, size doesn’t matter. If you are looking for an innovative way to augment your vehicle a wrap can definitely be an answer that you have been searching for. Whether you’re driving a Ford Fiesta or a Hummer H1, if it has wheels, the folks at Arete Digital Imaging can wrap it.
