Change The Color of Your Vehicle
Vinyl wrapping allows you to change the color of your vehicle without having to go through the hassle of sending your vehicle to the paint shop and getting it resprayed.
As great as painting a car is, it can also lead to problems of the resale value going down, the quality of work not holding up, and can be very costly.
When you wrap your vehicle, you dramatically change the appearance and if you’re ever tired of it or want to change the color again, you simply peel off the wrap and do it again. If your main goal is to protect your vehicle from rock chips, paint protection film (PPF) might be the better option for you.
There are hundreds of color options for you to choose from! You can go gloss, matte, chrome, or color shifting. There’s no right or wrong answer here. If your car is white, you can change it to a matte black or you can go with a high-gloss pink. Whatever you want!
You don’t even have to do the whole vehicle! You can just wrap your hood, or hood and roof, or hood and mirrors. This is really all preference based on how you want your car to look.
You can also ceramic coat the vinyl film for extra gloss and make the wash process much easier.

The No Limit Car Wrap Process
Wrapping your car is very tedious work and takes a lot of patience. You don’t want to see bubbles, wrinkles, or exposed edges in the final product.
​
If your vehicle already has vinyl or paint protection film, we’ll first have to safely remove it. Depending on the quality of film or how old it is, will greatly determine how long it takes us to remove it. Some level of paint correction might be needed.
​
From there, we’ll prep your vehicle with our Premium Wash to make sure the panels are free of debris and contaminants for a very clean installation.
​
If needed, we’ll disassemble parts of the car so we can wrap the edges. For instance, we can take off the door handles on your door or front bumper and headlights. This allows us to give the cleanest and most seamless installation possible.
​
Next comes the fun part of wrapping your vehicle. This is also the most time-consuming. Some panels are more challenging than others. We’ll take our time with the wrap installation to make sure it gets done right the first time.
​
Once done, we’ll double check our installation, reassemble any parts, check the film again, and it’ll be ready for pickup!
Wrap Your Cybetruck in Any Color
Cybertrucks are some of the most unique vehicles on the road today due to it’s hard-edge style shape. It has a very large windshield and glass roof compared to all other vehicles. It’s a head-turner when seen around Philadelphia.
And you can change the color of your Tesla Cybertruck to be a "one-of-one" on the road! It already has a very unique, futuristic-look but you can put your own twist to it by wrapping it in the color of your choice.
This takes about three days to complete. There’s almost an endless amount of colors to choose from since there’s dozens of brands that carry a large selection of options.
You can go with a satin or gloss finish, dark or light, it’s whatever you’d like to do.
This is great because the Cybertruck comes in stainless steel. Which can be difficult to maintain since it’s so prone to waterspots. But with a car wrap, you get to give it more style.
And if you ever want to change the color, we peel it off and redo it. The price to do a full wrap starts at $4,000.
Difference Between Vinyl Wrap and Paint Protection Film
Vinyl Wrap and Paint Protection Film (PPF) are popular film solutions for your car but they serve very different purposes.
Vinyl wrap is a thing film primarily to change the color of your vehicle or to give your car different accents. You can get the chrome around the car wrapped in black, a two-tone wrap of black and white, or you can wrap just the hood, etc… You have an almost endless amount of colors and textures to choose from so you can get very design with your vehicle and have a true one-of-one on the Philadelphia roads. And since it’s film, whether you have it on your car for one year or three years, once you’re ready to take it off, just peel it off with no damage done to your paint.
This isn’t a main goal of it, but vinyl wrap does offer minor protection against scratches and rock chips. The film is not as thick as PPF so it won’t take as much impact or protect your car as well. But since it is film, if a some debris or rocks hit it, it can mitigate the impact to your paint.
On the other hand, paint protection film is a clear, thick, and durable film designed to shield your vehicle’s paint from physical damage. It protects against rock chips, scratches, road and debris. The PPF is self-healing so minor swirls in the film will disappear with heat exposure.
That being said, colored PPF is now being introduced into the market. If you want the benefits of PPF and want to change the color of your car, that’s now possible! There’s not as many color options, but there are colors to choose from.
How Long Does Vinyl Wrap Last?
This is important to understand because we see a lot of vehicles that have kept their wrap on their car for too long and it becomes very troublesome to remove.
The lifespan of vinyl wrap on a car typically ranges from three to seven years. This depends on several factors like the quality of the film, how the vehicle is stored, and how you maintain the vehicle.
For instance, if your car stays outside all day in the sun and rain, it will deteriorate the film and adhesive much faster than if your car is garage-kept most of the day.
Another big factor is the installation of the film. If the wrap has lifted edges, cuts in the film, or bubbles where dirt can get underneath it or the film can start to lift, the film will degrade faster.
Generally speaking, you can have the film on your car for three to five years. If you leave it on there too long, the film and adhesive gets old, brittle, and dry, and removing becomes a very big problem. It starts to come off in tiny little pieces and potentially chipping off paint along the way.
Vinyl wraps is a fantastic option to upgrade your vehicle and give it a unique look, but you also have to keep in mind that it’s not a permanent solution and you want to be mindful of how long you keep it on.

How Long Does It Take To Wrap a Car?
A wrap job can take between a couple of hours to a full week. It just depends on what you’d like to get wrapped, the type of vehicle you have, and the complexity of the panels.
​
If you just wanted your hood wrapped in gloss black, that can probably take two hours to complete. If you want your entire vehicle wrapped, that can take five days.
​
For a proper installation, depending on the type of vehicle you have, we’d have to disassemble parts of your vehicle to have a clean install. If we don’t, we won’t be able to tuck the film around the edges as good as we want and that would lower the quality of the install. The potential of the edges lifting over time because dirt can get in it is higher.
​
Then you have to consider the size of the vehicle. A bigger car, like a Ford Raptor, will take longer than a Ford Mustang simply due to the size of it.
What Brand of Film Do You Use?
It depends on your choice of color! We use reputable brands like 3M, Avery, KPMF, Inozitek and more. But if you have a specific color you want to use from a specific brand, then we’ll go with that.
​
There’s so many brands that offer a variety of colors. So if you want the color blue, there might be 20 different types of blue you can choose from. That’s why we carry a wide selection of sample books that you can look at.
​
If you'd like to setup a color consultation, you can take the sample colors we have and put it right against your car to get a better feel for what you want done.
