You may want a car wrap, and not even realize it! Every day, more drivers in San Diego are learning that the benefits of a vehicle wrap go well beyond commercial graphic applications. Though automotive wraps intended to generate publicity are, by design, the easiest to spot, the best application of a vinyl wrap may to express personal style, or even to preserve the value of a vehicle! There are many reasons to seek a car wrap in San Diego — here are the best!
The most common use associated with an automotive wrap is branded advertising. Most of us have seen such vinyl wrapped company cars, vans, and trucks: they drive down the highway, wrapped in corporate colors and logos, effectively advertising a business even as the vehicle goes about performing a company’s business! This remains a superb use of the automotive wrap concept, and practical, especially for a small business. But there are other uses of a car wrap that prove just as practical, even as they present a subtler and more stylish facade!
Using a car wrap to advertise has obvious value; using vinyl wrap as a mode of self-expression is priceless. Though many people still associate automotive wraps with logos designed to attract attention to the vehicle’s commercial activity, a broad array of vinyl wrap options put myriad customizable design elements in the hands of the vehicle’s owner. Which means your wrapped ride looks less like a company car, and more like a one of a kind road machine. Maybe you’d like your car to have a glossy lustre? Or maybe, you’d prefer a matte finish?
Both options of vinyl wrap are available, in a wide assortment of colors. You can even take these concepts further: an automotive wrap to give your ride a chrome-like shine, or give the car’s surface the appearance of brushed metal. Vehicle wraps make it incredibly easy to personalize a car, giving it a distinctive look you won’t see at the dealership. Creative car owners may use automotive wrap to create a two-tone appearance, or even employ a special vinyl wrap that will make your car glow in the dark!
Why seek out a vehicle wrap when you could just paint your car a new color? Well, beside the expanded range of customizable options just mentioned, there’s one excellent reason to choose vinyl wrap over a new paint job: it costs significantly less! Want another? It takes considerably less time to apply an automotive wrap than it does sitting around waiting for paint to dry.
Better yet, a vehicle wrap actually protects your car’s existing paint job, preserving the eventual resale value of your ride. Not only does the vinyl wrap protect underlying paint from getting scratched or chipped, it provides protection from the elements. Most importantly in sunny San Diego, it provides UV protection, ensuring the paint remains clean and bright beneath the car wrap. And, given a vinyl wrap is easily, and 100-percent, removable, it’s a cinch to maintain a car with the stylish look of your own choosing, then remove the automotive wrap and present a perfectly preserved, more conventional-looking vehicle to its next owner.
At Car Audio City, we source several top vehicle wrap brands. Each provide an abundance of color and finish options, along with performance warranties. The best choice will usually come down to the preferred style choice of our customer.
This range of wraps offered by 3M best illustrates how many types of finish may be applied by a vehicle wrap. Even if black is your color of choice, you’ll find myriad options, including black with a glossy finish, gloss metallic, brushed metallic, satin, and several different shades of black in a matte finish. Those looking for more dynamic visual effects may opt for a selection of neon colors, iridescent pearl finishes, or the perpetually-enigmatic carbon fiber look.
Avery Dennison produces some of the longest-lasting vehicle wraps on the market. In addition to various levels of gloss, matte, and brushed metallic finishes, the many diverse color options in the line include shiny chrome finishes in multiple colors, including blue, red, violet, and a stunning black chrome. If you’re out to truly make a statement, several colors are also offered in a sparkling diamond finish, and if you can’t settle on a single color, you might be in the market for two! Avery Dennison’s shade-shifting Colorflow Vinyl creates the illusion that a vehicle is shifting between two different iridescent colors, including from red to gold, gold to silver, and a truly futuristic green to purple.
Boasting the widest variety of vehicle wrap options, Orafol offers colors you won’t likely find elsewhere, including a few distinctive and unlikely hues, such as mint, saffron, and beige. However, the Orafol line is at its best when presenting more dynamic color combinations and effects. For example, some Orafol vehicle wraps are modeled after the translucent coloring of gemstones, including amethyst, anthracite, and aquamarine. Most arresting are the many multi-color shift effects! Unlike other options, Orafols shifting color patterns are nondirectional, leading to a more flexible application of iridescent color schemes. With ultra-compelling color pairings such as red/orange sunset, turquoise/lavender, lightning strike yellow/gold, and a positively shimmering black/gold, these vinyl wraps will make your ride look like it’s moving even when it’s standing still.
