What we wrap

What does a vinyl wrap do?

A vinyl wrap, often called a car wrap, is a thin cast vinyl film laid over your factory paint. It changes the color or finish of any panel, shields the paint underneath from light scratches and sun, and peels off cleanly when you want the original look back.

Color change

A color change wraps the whole car, or just the roof, hood or mirrors. You choose the color and the finish, and your factory paint stays untouched underneath.

Chrome delete and blackout

A chrome delete covers chrome trim, badges, grilles and window surrounds in black or a color. It's a popular look on trucks and Jeeps around Fort Hood.

Stripes, decals and accents

Racing stripes, cut decals and accent pieces add detail without covering a whole panel. They're cut from the same films we use for full wraps, in any color and finish.

Chrome delete

Chrome delete in Killeen

A chrome delete wraps your vehicle's chrome trim, badges, grille and window surrounds in black or any color in our lineup. The chrome underneath stays untouched, so you can peel it back to stock anytime.

It's a popular look on trucks and Jeeps around Fort Hood, and it pairs well with window tint for a fully blacked-out finish.

Deep, wet shine like fresh paint.

Looks

A soft sheen between gloss and matte.

Looks
Catches light along the body lines without a mirror reflection.
Best for
A modern, understated look that still shows off the car's shape.

Accents and statement pieces.
Care

Pricing

How much does a vinyl wrap cost?

Every wrap is priced at a free consult, because no two jobs use the same film or coverage. The price comes down to four things: coverage, the vehicle, the film and finish, and prep.

Coverage

A full car costs more than the roof, hood or trim alone.

The vehicle

Its size, and how many deep curves the film has to follow.

Film and finish

Chrome and color-shift cost more than gloss or satin.

Prep

Removing an old wrap, or dealing with paint chips or repaints first.

The process

How a wrap goes

  1. Consult

    See film samples in person, choose your color and finish, and get your estimate.

  2. Prep

    We wash and decontaminate every panel, and remove badges or trim where the film needs to wrap behind them.

  3. Install

    The film goes on panel by panel, with edges wrapped and tucked so they stay down.

  4. Cure and inspect

    Edges are post-heated, the whole car is checked under light, and we walk you through care at pick-up.

A full color change usually takes 3 to 5 days. Call or text 254-677-8799 to check the schedule.

FAQ

Wrap questions

How much does a car wrap cost in Killeen?

Every wrap is priced at a free consult, because the film, finish and coverage change from job to job. Request an estimate and we'll reach out with your price.

How long does a vinyl wrap last?

Typically 5 to 7 years with good care. The Texas sun is hardest on the roof and hood, so those panels can wear sooner. Garage parking and gentle hand washing help, and we'll set expectations for your film and finish at the consult.

Will a wrap damage my paint?

Not on factory paint in good condition: the wrap protects it and peels off cleanly. Repainted or chipped areas can lift when the film comes off, so we check your paint at the consult.

Can a wrap be removed?

Yes. Cast wrap film is made to come off cleanly, leaving the factory paint underneath. We also remove old wraps, including ones we didn't install.

How long does a wrap take?

A full color change usually takes 3 to 5 days. We'll confirm the timing for anything else with your estimate.

Do you warranty your wraps?

Yes. Every install carries our 1-year workmanship warranty on lifting, edges and bubbles. The film itself is covered by its maker's warranty.

How do I wash a wrapped car?

Wait about a week after the install before the first wash. Hand wash it, keep pressure washers back from the edges, and skip brush car washes. We'll go over care when you pick it up.

What wrap film do you use?

We install 3M 2080, Avery Dennison SW900, KPMF and Cheetah Wrap film. Each has its own colors and finishes, and we'll help you choose at the consult with samples in hand.

What's the difference between cast and calendered vinyl?

Cast vinyl is poured and baked into a film with no built-in tension, so it conforms to curves and stays put. Calendered vinyl is rolled and pressed into shape, so it tends to shrink back over time, and hybrid film sits in between. We prefer cast film on vehicles for its longevity and stretchability.

Can you wrap just the roof, hood or mirrors?

Yes. The roof, hood or mirrors can be wrapped on their own, often in gloss black or a contrast color. Choose "Partial" in the estimate form.

What is a chrome delete?

A chrome delete covers your vehicle's chrome, such as window trim, badges and grilles, in black or a color. It's a popular look on trucks and Jeeps, and the chrome is still there if you want it back.

Can I get window tint at the same time?

Yes. Tick "Add window tint to my consult" in the estimate form and we'll quote both. Our window tint comes in Plus and Super, both with a lifetime warranty.
