Vehicle Wraps

Retro Graphics is your one stop shop for all things vehicle wrapping! From smart cars to semi’s we have experience with it all!

We provide both color change wraps and commercial vehicle wraps. All graphic design for commercial wraps is done in house by Jo, who has 5+ years experience considering body lines and vehicle contours while creating the designs. For personal color change wraps, we primarily carry 3M & Avery Dennison vinyls, with access to Inozotek, Hexis, TeckWrap and KPMF films as well. Choosing a color for your vehicle can be difficult, so we offer a no pressure color selection appointment so you can see the colors in person and compare what they look like inside vs. outside.

We are very competitively priced in the Alberta market, and are willing to price match any other quote provided so long as the products and job descriptions match. We take pride in the quality of our work and feel that it is currently unmatched in the Edmonton market. Attention to detail on a vehicle wrap is of utmost importance, you don’t want any flaps overhanging or pieces left untrimmed and untidy on the insides of body panels.

Our intake process leaves no stone unturned, we want to ensure that your expectations are met, and attainable. No unnecessary clarification calls to ask questions that were missed.

While we admit that we are human and small errors may happen, communication is our top priority. The depth of the wrap is discussed prior to booking to ensure that you are satisfied with the coverage on the vehicle inside and out.

*All vehicle wraps require a 50% deposit prior to any booking being confirmed and materials being ordered.

Motor Vehicles

Changing the color of your precious baby shouldn’t be taken lightly. There are many things to consider with a vehicle wrap, including but not limited to:

Door Handles

Door Jambs
And more!

When wrapping a vehicle it is important to ask the shop doing the work what they will be taking apart on your vehicle versus leaving intact. All of this depends on the current color of the vehicle, color changing to and age of the vehicle. For a more in depth wrap, most parts should be removed from the vehicle to prevent seeing the old color in between body panels.

As an example, a white Dodge Ram going to a darker color would require the bumpers to be pulled off, mirrors, door handles, and the box to be removed from the frame. If any shop is not removing your door handles, there will be significant lines in your wrap that will be unsightly and cause failure issues down the road.

At Retro Graphics it is important to us that the finished product looks as if the vehicle went in for a paint job. Whether you choose a solid color or a printed wrap, we ensure that panels line up and color or pattern directionality are followed to have a smooth, seamless finished product. Keep in mind that there are some cases where seams are required, these are usually in spots with deep recesses or complex body lines. Booking a consultation with our team will ensure that you are aware of where all seams and overlaps may be on your vehicle, but we always try to ensure that they are in inconspicuous places so they are not noticeable at first glance.

Motor vehicles are usually in our shop for 3-5 business days depending on the amount of coverage and size of the vehicle.

There are so many things to consider because each business and industry are so wildly different. We can also capture something that blankets a larger audience, but typically when you are more specific with who you are looking to attract to your business, more than just your logo falls into place.

Recreational Vehicles

We consider all recreational vehicles as “fun projects”. These are almost always completely custom and un-templated. Any design we create for a recreational vehicle comes with the promise that it will not be reused on another application without your expressed consent. This means that your skidoo, quad, dirt bike, UTV, boat, and more will be one of a kind!

For all plastic vinyl wrap applications, a special kind of vinyl is required to adhere to the low surface energy of plastics. If a regular vehicle grade vinyl is used, it will stick but only for a short period of time. It is important to us that your wrap stays on for as long as possible and that you are happy with the results!

Unlike vehicle wraps, almost every recreational vehicle requires edge sealing of some sort based on the application. For example, on every boat that comes into the Retro shop, we use waterproof caulking around every edge, screw and hole to ensure any reason for failure is completely limited. There are edge seal liquids and tapes as well, but we leave it to our installers to use their best judgment on each application to ensure the longest lasting finished product for our customers.

Recreational vehicles are usually in our shop for 3-5 business days depending on the amount of coverage and size of the vehicle.

Commercial Vehicles

Our commercial vehicle wraps are also completely custom and unique to you and your business! We do not replicate these designs at all to ensure that you stand out from the crowd. These wraps are usually tailored specifically to your industry and company branding. We do our best to ensure that your target audience would appreciate the wrap the most so you attract your ideal clientele.

We try to be as accommodating as possible when intaking these vehicles as we know that not having this vehicle on the road means no money coming in your door! If you are typically closed over the weekends, let us know, and we can arrange to have your vehicle down for 1 working day rather than 3. Our team will always inform you how long we will require the vehicle for prior to you booking it into our shop and dropping it off for install.

Commercial wraps are usually in our shop for 3-5 business days depending on the amount of coverage and size of the vehicle.
