A vehicle can be an asset to your business when it comes to marketing. In order to add the right logo and contact information to their fleets, some companies repainted their vehicles. The new paint job will reduce the car's resale value, however, and it can be very expensive.
A car wrap is an alternative way to market your business using your vehicle fleet (or just one vehicle). A wrap is a large vinyl decal or graphic that is placed directly over the original paint. As people begin to consider other aspects of the exterior of their vehicles, it is becoming increasingly popular. Using a wrap rather than repainting your vehicle has many benefits.
1. 3M Car Wrapping
With 3M car wraps, you can completely change the look of your car in a variety of colors and finishes, giving it a completely unique look. With just a few colors, you can completely change the look of your car, giving it texture and accenting certain areas.
2. Durability of vinyl wraps
The vinyl wrap is incredibly durable, not only looking good but also protecting your car's paint underneath. It can take the occasional rock on the road scratching the surface without showing too much wear.
3. Vehicle Wrap Pricing vs Painting
Professional wraps cost between $2,500 and $5,000. The more vehicles you plan to wrap, the more money you will save with a professional wrap.
4. Wrap virtually any type of vehicle
It would be a mistake to think that a new paint job would have the advantage here. Car wraps can be fitted to almost any vehicle.
5. Graphics on vehicles
The process of painting graphics on a car is extremely difficult, and you cannot be guaranteed that they will look the way you envisioned. Once the car is wrapped, you know exactly how it will look. Because the lettering has been installed around the contours of the vehicle, it will look better too.
6. Ease of restoring the original look
If you get tired of the wrap, you can easily remove it without damaging the paint underneath. This is one of the main benefits of applying a wrap to your car.
7. Enhanced resale value
Most potential buyers will not want an untraditional color, so adding a new paint job almost always lowers the value of a car. A car wrapped with a wrapper has a much higher resale value than one that has been painted. Because the wrapper can be removed without damaging the car, the value of your car is higher because it still looks new since the paint is preserved.
8. Time to Install vs Painting
When you take your car in for a new paint job, it usually takes between one and two weeks. You must then allow the paint to completely dry before driving it on a regular basis. It will take three to five days to apply a wrap on your car. Your car will be ready for immediate use when you pick it up – you won't need to worry about driving it.
9. Car wrap maintenance
Paint jobs require lots of maintenance to keep looking great, which is one of their main problems. A new car needs to be washed and waxed regularly to maintain its shine. With wrap, it will take half the time to keep it clean. You just need to wash it, and it will look great.
10. Several options for a unique appearance
When it comes to business, you want to have as many options as possible when it comes to displaying your personality and preferences on the outside of your car. You want to make your car memorable and look great. Single colors, designs, lettering, and highlighting particular areas can be added to wraps, but they don't cost as much as painting to customize.
11. Ease of duplication
If you need to change the outside of multiple cars, you want something guaranteed to look the same for all of them. There are a lot of variables with a paint job, and it is extremely difficult to repeat the same look perfectly. However, a car wrap is incredibly easy to duplicate, and there is no need to worry about it looking different after the application.
In conclusion:
Having a car wrap installed to your vehicle or fleet will give your vehicle or vehicles a consistent, aesthetically pleasing look. If you want to give the right impression about your business, it should look professional without being bland.
