How much does a full color change wrap cost?

Most sedans run $2,500–$3,500, trucks and SUVs $3,000–$4,500. Premium finishes like chrome or color-shift add 20–50%.

How do I care for my vehicle wrap?

Hand wash with mild soap, avoid automatic brush washes, and rinse off salt after beach days. A vinyl-safe spray sealant 2–3 times a year keeps the finish fresh.

Wrap questions, answered

How long does a vehicle wrap last on the Outer Banks?

Quality cast vinyl (3M 2080, Avery Dennison SW900) is rated 5–7 years. OBX sun and salt are tough, so we recommend garage parking when possible and a rinse after beach driving. Well-cared-for wraps here routinely hit 5+ years looking great.

Will a wrap damage my paint?

No, quite the opposite. On healthy factory paint, vinyl acts as a sacrificial layer against UV, salt spray, and light scratches. Removed properly, the paint underneath comes out looking newer than the rest of the car would have.

How much does a full color change cost?

Most sedans run $2,500–$3,500, trucks and SUVs $3,000–$4,500, and premium finishes (chrome, color-shift) add 20–50%. Use the Color Studio above for a ballpark, then send us the combo. Quotes are free and firm.

Can I wrap a leased or financed vehicle?

Yes, and that's one of the best use cases. Because wraps are fully reversible, you can customize a leased vehicle and return it bone-stock. We remove wraps too, and removal is quick on wraps we installed.

Do you wrap boats and golf carts?

Absolutely. Marine-grade films handle salt water and sun, and boat wraps cost a fraction of gelcoat refinishing. Golf carts are some of our favorite jobs — most are done in a day.

How do I care for my wrap?

Hand wash with a mild soap, avoid automatic brushes, and rinse off salt after beach days. No wax needed; a spray sealant made for vinyl 2–3 times a year keeps the finish fresh. We'll give you the full care sheet at pickup.
