Where can vinyl graphics be installed?

Vinyl graphics can be installed on almost any smooth and wax-free surface, including glass, plexiglass, painted surfaces, fiberglass, some plastics, etc.

Will vinyl graphics harm the paint on my vehicle?

As long as your paint has been cured for at least 30 days, the vinyl will not harm the vehicle's painted surfaces. We use only high quality vinyl materials to ensure this. Certain vinyl material, such as carbon fiber, metallics, reflective, or chrome have stronger adhesives, and can be difficult to remove. Also leaving the vinyl graphics on the vehicle longer than the expected life can cause them to be harder to remove.

Will vinyl graphics affect my rear defroster?

No, vinyl graphics will not affect your rear defroster in any way.

How long will vinyl graphics last?

Vinyl graphics can last anywhere from  5-7 years depending on the type of vinyl used and whether they are on a horizontal or vertical surface ( horizontal surfaces have more UV and pollutant exposure)

How long will printed vinyl graphics last?

Unlaminated, printed vinyl graphics will last about 1-2 years as they have no abrasion or UV protection. Lamination can extend that up to 5-6 years because it is adding both UV protection as well as abrasion resistance.

How do I remove vinyl graphics?

Vinyl graphics applied to glass are very simple to remove. You can just use a new razor blade scraper. Simply scrape the vinyl graphics off the glass surface. Once removed clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol or other adhesive cleaner. For vinyl graphics applied to paintwork, use a heat gun or let the vehicle sit in the sun. Use your finger nail to lift the edge of the vinyl and then slowly pull the vinyl off. More tips on our vinyl removal page

Can I wash my vehicle after installing vinyl graphics?

We recommend allowing 24-48 hours after installation before washing your vehicle. This allows the adhesives to bond. After this time period you can wash just like you normally wash paintwork. Do not  use a pressure washer directly on the vinyl graphics.

What is the typical turnaround time?

On average, typical turnaround time can be from 2 to 5 days. Large format printing can take longer for ink drying time, and lamination processes. We will try to accommodate same day or next day jobs.

What color would look best on my vehicle?

Choosing a color can be very difficult. When choosing a vinyl graphic to be installed on a window, keep in mind that the surface is naturally dark. Using dark-colored decals would not be as visible. We have extensive experience in this area and would be happy to discuss this with you.

Do you have a pricelist?

No. Due to the ever changing cost of materials, and the varying job types and details, we cannot keep a static price list. Please contact us for more information or to request a quote.

Do you offer volume or repeat customer discounts?

Of course! Buying graphics and stickers in higher volume is always more cost effective than purchasing in small quantities. Depending on the size and style of decal there may be a substantial discount applied to higher quantities.

What file formats are best?

Vector artwork (ai,eps) works best for us and will provide you with the best quality output, however we can convert bitmaps to vector artwork for an additional fee. For digital printing, 150 ppi usually works best, but large prints may look very good at even 50 ppi.

What payments do you accept?

Cash, business check, Visa, MasterCard. We require a 50% deposit on larger jobs and 100% on small jobs.
