Please
find below Frequently Asked Questions to help you decide on the best
course of action for your wrap project. If you still have a question
of your own, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Will
my vehicle be damaged?
At all stages of applying and removing the wrapping film, we will endeavour
to preserve the state of the vehicle paintwork. In our experience, no
damage will be caused to the paintwork of a vehicle if it is of a ‘factory’
standard. However, it is the duty of the owner of the vehicles to ensure
suitability. Raccoon Digital cannot be held responsible for any damage
caused to the paintwork of a vehicle or trim unless we and/or the manufacturer
of the materials used, give written confirmation of any warranty or
guarantee. Please contact us for more details
How
long does it last?
Depending on your requirements and the type of vehicle to be wrapped,
we can offer performance guarantees of up-to five years. We are approved
3M and Avery fabricators and applicators and are currently able to offer
warranties in conjunction with these manufacturers.
Can
it be removed?
YES! One of the benefits of a vehicle wrap is that it protects the paintwork
underneath. As long as care is taken to remove the vinyl wrap, you will
be greeted with a protected bodywork. This obviously depends on the
quality of the bodywork when the wrap was applied!
How
do I create the artwork?
This is best done using a scaled template of the vehicle in question.
We can currently supply templates for most commercial vehicles and cars.
Alternatively, we offer a vehicle survey and template creation service.
For general artwork questions, please download our current artwork guide,
in PDF format.
Where
do you fit the graphics?
Two options, either at our fully equipped premises in Edenbridge, Kent
or at a location of your choice. It is essential, though, that the vehicle
is wrapped in a clean, dry, warm location with lighting and heating
available. The vehicle must be thoroughly cleaned beforehand, and free
of rust or loose paintwork.
How
quickly can you do it?
Our quickest turnaround so far has been two days from receipt of artwork
to completion of the wrap. An exceptional case! Normally we require
at least five working days from receipt of order and ready artwork to
wrap an individual vehicle, and more time for vehicle fleets. If you
have a time urgent project, please contact our sales department who
will be able to advise you of our current lead times.
What
if the wrap fails?
It is essential that before we wrap your vehicles that all requirements
are understood by both parties. If performance guarantees are required,
the criteria can be confirmed in writing and in conjunction with the
vinyl manufacturers. Written guarantees and warranties are available
and can be implemented, but must be discussed at the quotation and specification
stage of a project. If all safe guards have been taken, then you will
be fully protected under the terms of the warranty
How
much does it cost?
To determine the cost of wrapping a vehicle, a number of variables need
to be taken into account. These include vehicle type, quantity of vehicles,
location, graphic coverage, life expectancy of graphics and warranty/guarantee
requirements.
To help you determine the viability of a project, below are ‘ballpark’
costs for the most popular vehicles. Please note that these are for
a one off vehicle wrap, using customer supplied artwork and the vehicle
being delivered to our Edenbridge premises for application. It also
assumes full coverage of the vehicle, including any windows.
