Spot graphics only cover a small section of the vehicle panel. They are usually cheaper and quicker to apply. Many companies choose to get simple door logos done due to their economic cost and ease. A vehicle wrap covers a signifcant percentage of a vehicles panels. Wraps must be installed with a specific type of wrap vinyl to ensure the vinyl stays in the curves and recesses of the vehicle. It is a lot more time consuming to design and install a wrap which means it comes with a bigger price tag. We often do half vehicles wraps as a midway point between spot graphics and a full wrap.

This is one we get asked a lot! And it's really tricky to give an exact cost simply because every wrap is different. It also depends on the size and complexity of the vehicle body. Half wraps are cheaper than full wraps. So as you can see it really depends on the specific requirements. But here is a VERY rough indication of price points. Half Digital Print (Commercial design package available) Small vehicle or Hatchback $900 - $1500 +gst Ute or 4WD $1000 - $2000 +gst Van $1500 - $2500 +gst Full Digital Print Small vehicle or Hatchback $3500 - $4000 +gst Ute or 4WD $4000 - $6000 +gst Van $4000 - $7000 +gst Colour Change in One Colour (External colour change only) Small vehicle or Hatchback $2500 - $3500 +gst Sedan $3000 - $5000 +gst Ute or 4WD $3500 - $6000 +gst The best way to find out the price of a wrap is to get in touch with us.

Wrapping is not the solution to cracked, faded or damaged paint. You need a decent paint job to begin with as any imperfections will show through the vinyl. The process of installing a wrap involves placing and re-positioning vinyl repetitively which can result in pieces of paint peeling and sticking to the glue, causing dis-adhesion. The cost of vehicle wrapping is often around the same price as painting. Price is directly linked to quality, in both circumstances. You may be able to get a cheaper paint job than a vehicle wrap, but the quality and finish will be miles apart. We don't do any surface prep so if you do decide to wrap, you will need to arrange for the damaged paint to be buffed. If the wrap is to be applied to the bonnet or roof, it pays to keep in mind these sections get the most UV exposure and will likely need to be replaced after 2 years.

Regular cleaning of you graphics is very important as dirt and grime can destroy graphics over time. We recommend using mild detergent to wash your vehicle following installation. Do not use any harsh chemicals or abrasives as they will destroy the media. We highly recommend the Avery Wrap Cleaning kit (which we sell). Any contaminants such as gasoline should be cleaned off immediately. Even the smallest drop of gasoline should be wiped away as soon as possible with a wet towel. Mechanical washes of any type are not advised and will void your warranty.

The lifespan of a graphic depends on several variables: 1. How well the graphics have been looked after. Dirt and grime can damage graphics over a period of time so it pays to keep them clean. 2. The amount of UV exposure. Graphics on flat surfaces (such as a bonnet or roof) are exposed to significantly more UV than graphics on vertical surfaces. This means that they generally wear down quicker (usually after 2 years). Graphics on vertical surfaces will generally last for at least 5 years. 3. The quality of the vinyl and laminate. We only use high quality vinyls and all prints are laminated to improve the lifespan of the graphics. We recommend rotating your vehicle parking each day so that one side of the graphics isn't significantly exposed to more UV than the other side. We recommend to park under cover or shade wherever possible to get the most life out of the graphics.

Vinyl is not designed to last forever. After a period of 5 years we highly recommend having your wrap assessed by one of our skilled vinyl wrappers, to inspect the condition and see if it is due to be removed. Surfaces such as the roof and bonnet should be assessed after a period of 2 years due to high exposure to the Australian sun’s UV rays. There are a couple of reasons we recommend this: 1. Removal of the graphics will be easier if they are not too far gone (costing you less for the removal). 2. If vinyl is left to deteriorate, you run the risk of paint damage underneath the vinyl (which is not covered by our warranty).

We strongly advise against using pressure washing on your graphics, and doing so will void your warranty. At close range you run the risk of the pressure tearing off your graphics. If you insist on using a high pressure cleaner, stand at least 2m back and do not spray from an acute angle. Keep the gun at a 90 degree angle to avoid the pressure going between the paint and vinyl.
