The length of your car wrapping job will depend on how complex it is to complete. However, as a general guide, you can expect to be without your car for one to two days while it is being wrapped. After the design of any car wrap is finalised, it’ll take seven-ten days to print and install.

The best way to maintain your car wrap in excellent condition is to keep your car clean. Hand washing is the preferred method of any vehicle that has a car wrap installed. While a jet sprayer will clean your car faster, this can damage the wrap due to high pressure, so stick to a regular hose sprayer. You should only wash your car with the recommended detergents and warm water. It is highly recommended that you clean the outside of your car at least once a week. Anything that could potentially damage the vinyl (bird droppings, tar, tree sap, bugs, etc.) should be cleaned off as soon as possible. In addition, vinyl graphics can fade over time, just like car paint. Try to leave your car in a shaded area when parked for long periods. Ideally, your car should be stored parked in a garage. If this is not possible, you can invest in a car cover to protect your investment.

The majority of the car wrapping completed through Platinum Signs costs between $1500 – $4000. However, the exact cost of any car wrapping service is reliant on many different factors. This can include the size of the job and any design work that is completed. When requesting a car wrapping service, your quote may not include any design charges. At Platinum Signs, we have an in-house design team that can assist you in designing the perfect graphics for your car wrap.

It is hard to provide estimates for all cars, as they come in various shapes and sizes. However, here you’ll find a guide to give you a good idea of the expected costs for your car wrapping: - Small Passenger Vehicle starting at $2,700 - Medium Passenger Vehicle starting at $3,500 - Large Passenger Vehicle starting at $4,400 - Sports Coupe starting at $3,700 - Small 4WD starting at $4,900 - Large 4WD starting at $5,300 - Small Commercial Van starting at - Large Commercial Van starting at Car wrap costs vary tremendously, so please talk with our design staff to get an exact estimate. These averages will not include GST on this page, and they are for solid colour vinyl wraps only. If you seek graphics and other designs, the prices will increase as the entire process is more complex. Also, these estimates are for vehicles that have closed-door wrapping installed. A closed-door wrap is where you cannot see the original paint colour when the doors are closed, but when they’re open, the colour will show.

When it comes to car wraps, the project usually involves printing of a specific artwork. We then add matte, satin or gloss finish lamination to the prints for longer durability. For car colour changes, in most cases, such as the inclusion of metallic colours. We can also purchase the material from suppliers, as this often already comes with the added lamination.

- Plan and Measure Stage – we have the sizes of the most popular vehicles on file, but our team will also perform a physical inspection.

All orders must be accompanied with a 50% deposit before we start on the project. - Design – we’ll discuss what elements you need to supply and what format they must be in.

A vinyl car wrap is just like placing protective skin all over your vehicle. Therefore, the car must be as clean as possible when delivered to our team. You shouldn’t have any waxes, oil, or dirt on the vehicle. While your vehicle should be in a clean state, our install team will still give the panels a clean as they prepare the surface to receive the vinyl. If you have any existing rust patches, these need to be taken care of before the wrapping process can begin. All current vinyl artwork needs to be removed. You can do it yourself, or we can complete this for an additional fee. If you’re removing it yourself, make sure you get every part of it, including any adhesive glue, as that can hinder the installation process of your new vinyl. For any vehicle that has paint in poor condition or has recently been resprayed, we cannot be held liable for damage due to the car wrapping process.
