Do you still install race car wraps?
YES! we offer a variety of different installations. You can bring to our shop for install for a $50 fee. We can come to you (100 mile round trip limit on single cars) for $150. Or, sometimes early in the year we will hit certain areas on install trips where generally we charge $100 a piece to install. 4 cars minimum for this type of service.
How difficult will it be to install my own wrap?
Should not be difficult at all! All of our race car wraps are printed on high quality ARLON 4500GLX air release vinyl. We will provide a install instruction sheet with your wrap for tips and hints to make things easier. Over 75% of the race car wraps we print are installed by the customer, and we have very few complaints. You can also use the "Wet Method" spraying the back of the material with water mixed with a small amount of dish detergent, however this is not recommended due to edges peeling from excess water. Take your time! Do not install outdoors or in extreme heat if possible. Also, the condition of your panels make alot of difference.
Is there any kind of warranty with my race car wrap?
The simple answer is no. However if we install it and there is an issue, OR we have a material shortage like in the past and have to change materials and have issues, we will do our best to take care of your problem. If you do have an issue a simple phone call goes a long way.
What can I clean my wrap with?
Everything we produce here is laminated, so most all cleaners and waxes are OK to use. We do not recommend acid based products.
Is it normal for edges of wheel openings to peel up after a few races?
YES! There is no vinyl in the world built to withstand mud hitting it at 100 mph, pressure washed weekly, scraped with scrapers, or bounced off of other cars. Small amounts of peeling are perfectly normal. we recommend just trimming back off the edges of the body for a tighter seal.
Do you offer discounts for multiple wrap orders?
Yes, to an extent. if you are ordering multiples of the exact same wrap we absolutely offer package deals. However if it is different designed wraps we offer no discount due to it being the same amount of work.
Will you send me my wrap file?
Yes, you can PURCHASE your file from us for a fee. We will also send your artwork directly to other manufacturers (t-shirts, apparel, web designers, etc) for a $25 fee. Otherwise the files are property of Collins Signs until purchased.
