Best Vehicle Wrapping Services in Castro Valley, CA

The average install time for most wraps is 1-3 business days depending on the coverage. The standard color change wrap take 4-5 days for installation. Most commercial graphic wraps take only 2-3 business days for a full coverage installations and partial graphics installs take typically between 1-2 business days. Our calendar tends to book up a few weeks in advance, so be sure to contact us to schedule your appointment.

Another question that has many variables. A standard color change wrap film usually has an expected outdoor durability of 7-12 years on vertical surfaces and printed graphic wraps have 5-7 years durability. The amount of sun and dew exposure plays a large part in the durability of all materials. Horizontal areas (such as the roof, hood and trunk of vehicles) which are exposed to UV rays and acid buildup from dust and dew will greatly be reduced down to about 1 to 3 years depending on color, finish and manufacturer. Perforated window graphics only have an outdoor durability of about 1 year. Matte and metallic finishes have the least durability while gloss finishes have the best outdoor durability. Factors which can greatly improve the life expectancy of the vinyl are, garaging the vehicle, washing it regularly, waxing gloss finishes (no carnauba waxes and nothing that requires a serious buff to polish up).

Yes, in many cases you need an appointment before we can take in your vehicle. On any given day, we could be booked out as far as 2 to 3 weeks before we can take in your vehicle for installation. In the event you have a smaller job such as a roof wrap or some vehicle letters for your doors, we can occasionally squeeze you in sooner than the first available appointment. The only way to know is to contact us and ask.

If you can feel a rough texture on your car surface, a vinyl wrap will not help since those imperfections will show through the vinyl. You will need some body work before we can wrap your car if there are dents and/or bumps. Rust and oxidation are a sign of failure and all these areas will show through if not right away, in the near future.

We do offer chrome wraps for vehicles but please note that chrome wraps start at $6,000 and go up from there. Installation is at least 5 to 6 business days for chrome finishes and we are usually always booked outwards of 2 weeks. We only use quality Avery wrap chrome vinyl which is currently the only conformable wrap vinyl available on the market. If you saw another brand online, or saw some pictures from a wrap shop offering an install for less, chances are high that the product is junk.
