How long do truck decals last?

High-quality cast vinyl decals typically last between 5 to 7 years, depending on care and environmental exposure. Calendared vinyl, used for flat surfaces, generally lasts 3 to 5 years. Adding a UV laminate can extend the life of the graphics by protecting them from sun fading.

Will vehicle wraps damage my truck's paint?

No, providing the paint is the original factory finish and in good condition. In fact, a vinyl wrap protects the paint from UV rays and minor scratches. When removed professionally, the paint underneath should look as good as the day it was wrapped.

Can I put decals on a leased vehicle?

Yes, vehicle graphics are an excellent option for leased vehicles. Since they are removable, you can brand your fleet for the duration of the lease and remove the graphics before returning the vehicle, often leaving the paint in better condition than an unwrapped truck.

How much does a full truck wrap cost in Toronto?

Pricing varies based on vehicle size and coverage. Generally, a full wrap for a standard work van or truck ranges from $3,500 to $5,000. Partial wraps and spot decals are more budget-friendly options, ranging from $500 to $2,500.

Do I need to wash my wrapped truck differently?

Yes, hand washing is recommended. If you use a pressure washer, keep the pressure low and the nozzle away from the edges. Avoid automatic car washes with mechanical brushes, as they can lift the vinyl edges and scratch the surface.
