Full Wraps

The name speaks for itself. Full car wraps cover the entirety of the vehicle with your desired color. Not only is it more affordable than a complete paint job, but it is also completely reversible. This is referred to as a color change wrap. Some people even choose to install a full wrap that is the same color as the car underneath. This is done to protect the car’s actual color from bumps, dings, or scratches. Many people opt for car wraps because they do not want to change their vehicle’s color permanently.

Partial Wraps

The opposite of full wraps, partial wraps only cover a portion of the vehicle. If you desire a more subtle look, or if you do not want to change the look of your car that much, a partial wrap can be a great choice. When using your vehicle wrap for advertising purposes, a partial wrap can be just as effective. Notably, it will be acceptable to use a partial wrap if you want to display important information but want to keep the base color of the car. Partial wraps are commonly used to cover the hood, roof, trunk, and doors.

Chrome Vinyl Wraps

Chrome vinyl wraps are the most expensive wraps on the market. They are completely reflective, and look like your car is wrapped in glass! Chrome wraps tend to be hard to install, can get scratched easily, and are harder to handle during the installation. If you are going with a chrome wrap, make sure you are dealing with a highly skilled installer who handled chrome wraps before. Chrome wraps also tend to show fingerprints, so you need to spend extra time to make sure your car looks clean. When installed, chrome wraps look absolutely beautiful!
