USES & APPLICATIONS…
Q: What is a car
wrap? Paint, Stickers, Airbrushing?
A: A car wrap is
an industrial vinyl covering that is adhered
directly to the body of your car. Often times
after the application, the artwork is so
accurate and lifelike; it is often mistaken for
a custom paint job.
Q: Does it matter
what color my car is?
A: Not at all, a
car wrap is not translucent; so you cannot see
through it. This allows you to totally transform
your vehicle and hide minor imperfections such
as dents, scratches and stone chips!
Q: If I decide to put
graphics on the windows, how will I be able to
see out?
A: The window
graphics are printed on a special perforated
vinyl that allows you to see out through the
rear and side rear windows, but not see in from
outside of the vehicle.
Q: Do you wrap the
front side windows?
A: No, state laws
prohibit the use of wraps on driver and
passenger side windows, as well as the
windshield.
Q: Can I wrap the
roof of my car?
A: Generally, we
do not wrap the roofs of larger vehicles
(vans, trucks or
SUV’s), unless it is requested by the
customer. However, if you prefer, absolutely, we
cab wrap the roof as well!
Q: Can you wrap a
fiberglass bumper?
A: Yes! We can
wrap a plastic or fiberglass bumper, though it
is not recommended as it does not last as long
as the rest of the wrap on the body of the
vehicle, so once again, it is at the discretion
of the customer to decide whether or not to wrap
a plastic or fiberglass bumper.
Q: Can you wrap my
hubcaps or rims?
A: No, it is not
suggested to wrap any part of the wheel.
Q: Can you wrap
boats, airplanes, helicopters, & trailers?
A: Of course we
can! If it flies, drives, rolls or floats, we
can wrap it!
Q: Can Car Wraps make
custom magnets for my vehicles?
A: YES WE CAN!
AND WE DO! We can create custom high-resolution
magnets in any quantity. Many company owners
will provide magnets for everyone
(receptionist,
secretaries, and spouses) in the office.
Q: Do you produce
vinyl signage & banners?
A: Yes & Yes!
Check out our signs and banners section of our
website for samples and more information!
Q: Why should I use
Car Wraps as opposed to painted or vinyl
lettering?
A: Applying or
altering the paint on your car actually
decreases its value. The same applies for vinyl
lettering which can cause 'fading' or
'shadowing' to the original paint. Additionally,
a car wrap looks so much more eye-catching and
professional to the potential customer.
Q: What if I change
my company logo or contact information in the
future?
A: No Problem...
we can print logos, phone numbers, websites etc.
as overlays on the car wrap, so that they can
directly cover certain areas of the artwork,
replacing the information if you switch
companies or change information.
Q: Does Car Wraps
have a payment plan?
A: No, but we do
accept major credit cards and checks.
Q: I want to wrap my
car, how do I get started?
Call or email us to speak with a qualified
car wrap specialist or you can fill out our
request for information form in the contact us
section of our website. We will ask you a few
brief questions
DESIGN & INSTALLATION…
Q: Do I have
to wash my vehicle before installation?
A: Yes. Your
vehicle(s) has to be free of wax, dust, mud,
pollen, and other agents that may slow down the
installation process.
Q:
How do I decide what
to put on my vehicle in terms of design?
A: Not sure what to put
on your wrap? No worries, in fact that is
in fact our strength. Our customers let us know
of their artistic vision for the wrap and then
supply us with the appropriate logos, photos,
and other essential images. Then our graphic
designers will mock-up a design in a layout that
best suits the shape, colour, and contours of
the vehicle. Usually clients will supply the
photos or images from their business that they
want on the wrap if not, we have many resources
for them to find and purchase photos and images
for their particular design and campaign.
Q: How long
will it take for the actual installation of the
wrap?
A: Installation
generally takes between one and two days
depending on how much coverage has to be applied
and the type of vehicle it is being applied to.
Q: I am often very busy and I may not
be able to come and meet with your designers
very often, how do will we finish the concept
and design for the wrap quickly and efficiently?
A: Many of our clients
are either too busy or too far to come in and
sit with, however, we can send you your
concept/design updates and artwork via email to
keep in regular communication with you during
the design process. Remember your feedback is
important to the overall process and we always
strive to assure a simple, efficient process
from start to finish.
Q: I live
outside of Ontario, can how I can use Mobile
Imaging for my wraps?
A: No Problem, we
can work remotely with you over the phone and
all images, artwork and mockups can easily be
emailed to you for your approval. We also have a
network of installers set up across Canada and
the US to complete the installation for you. Not
to worry, we can handle the details for you,
that’s what we do best!
COST & DURABILITY…
Q: How much
does it cost?
A: Every project
has its own set of variables. We have developed
a small “no-obligation” form that will help us
provide you with a more accurate quotation.
Pricing is directly linked with coverage and
types of vinyl used.
Q: Will it
damage my paint?
A: Not at all, a car wrap, when applied and
removed correctly by a professional installer,
does not damage your car's paint, unless the
paint is already damaged or the car has been
repainted. Actually it protects your car from
stone chips, scratches and sun damage!
Q: Can I take my wrap through the carwash?
A: Yes, you can wash take your wrap through the
car wash, however, to keep your wrap looking its
best, it is recommended that you use a brushless
car wash and NO WAX or PRESSURE WASHERS!
Remember… your wrap is an investment to your
marketing and advertising strategy and therefore
it should be protected.
Q: What if I get a dent or scratch on my car
and the wrap is damaged… can it the wrap be
repaired?
A: Not to worry! It is possible to replace
the damaged pieces or panels of your car wrap.
Q: Will my car wrap peel or fade?
A: If properly cared for, your wrap will not to
fade, crack or peel for 60 months.
Q: Can the wrap be
removed later?
A: Absolutely. The wrap is actually
stacked to the vehicle using heat and
pressure-sensitive adhesives that can be
reactivated by our installers. The removal
process is very short.
MEDIA EFFECTIVENESS…
Q: How effective is a
car wrap?
A: Studies
conducted have shown that a car wrap can garner
up to 8.3 million views per year in a city of
50,000. In a medium-sized city like Mississauga,
a Car Wrap can make 1000-2500 impressions per
hour on a busy boulevard. In busy metropolitan
areas like Downtown Toronto, impressions per
hour can be as high as 20,000.
Q: Why
choose a wrap instead
of traditional advertising like
newspapers or magazines?
A: Combine the
total that you or your company spends on
advertising each year; compare those costs to
the cost of a car wrap. Factor in that a car
wrap lasts between 3-5 years and will be seen by
millions over that period of time. In addition,
there are no monthly fees, maintenance or
renewal charges. No other form of advertising
can do more for your dollar then a mobile wrap!
