Solid color vinyl wraps

In the past few years, a new trend has been developing in the car customization industry. It's called "solid color wraps", or sometimes referred to as "paint replacement wraps". Entire vehicles can be wrapped in different colors and finishes to add accents, or to completely change the vehicle's appearance. Everything from mattes, chromes, metallics, carbon fibers, and glosses are available. 3M's solid color films go by the Series 1080 name, and Avery Dennison's are called Supreme Wrapping Film. Both are of extremely high quality. While easily changing the color of your car as often as you'd like is attractive, there's also some added benefits that you may not immediately think of. While the car is wrapped, the vinyl actually helps protect the factory paint from minor abrasions and contaminants. Also, painting your car a custom color almost always negatively affects resale value. If you were to paint your car purple for example, it may cost you thousands of dollars in resale value. A better idea would be to wrap the car in purple vinyl, and simply remove the wrap when the time comes to sell the car. This would help preserve the factory paint, as well as the resale value. Keep in touch with the guys at TechnoSigns to stay current on new colors that are released frequently. We have been informed of one particularly interesting soon to be released new color that is top secret, but will be a great addition to the available color palette that you may choose from.

Laptop wraps are a great way to customize your computer

Wrapping your laptop is a great way to add some individuality to your computer. Not only does it show your personality, it also gives some scratch protection for the finish. Either 3M's Series 1080 or Avery Dennison's Supreme Wrapping Series allows for dozens of colors, finishes and textures. Many mattes, glosses, carbon fibers, and brushed wrap films are available from TechnoSigns in Orlando. See www.TechnoWraps.com for more wrap information.

TechnoSigns chrome car wrap featured on Fox 35 Orlando


The chrome car wrap that TechnoSigns did a few months ago was featured in a morning spot on Fox 35 Orlando. The reporter just happened to drive by the car, and saw that it was so eye catching it deserved some airtime.

Black carbon fiber wrap adds edgy look to truck

This week one of our clients had a request. He wasn't fond of the chrome all over his truck. He was searching for a way to tone down the chrome, and add an edgy look. He was referred to TechnoSigns by a previous client. After an initial consultation, at which he was able to see over 30 samples of paint replacement vinyl wrapping films, he was sold on Carbon Fiber Series 1080 3M wrap film. After two days, his truck was carefully wrapped with the vinyl. We were able to add a two tone look, wrap all of the chrome, and add a decidedly edgier look to the Ford. More truck wrap info can be found at www.technowraps.com

TechnoSigns Chrome car wrap video now on YouTube

The TechnoSigns chrome car wrap is a hit. The reaction to it has been nothing short of amazing. Many of our clients have asked to see more of this unique vehicle wrap. We've created a YouTube video that shows the wrap in photos and video form. In it, you'll see a brief clip of the installation process. The application is handled differently than other vinyl wraps. Most wraps are applied dry. To eliminate scratches, chrome vinyl is applied wet; with a friction reducing solution.

Orlando's first chrome car wrap

One of the newest trends in vehicle customization is chrome vehicle wraps. Over the last year, celebrities in California have been seen in tabloids driving chrome wrapped cars. Justin Bieber owns one, as well as Kim Kardashian. Over the last week, TechnoSigns has been working on chroming an Infiniti G37 for one of our long time clients. The vinyl that we used is Avery Conform Chrome. While it's sold as an accent vinyl, for things like door handles, we couldn't stop there. If a little is good, then a lot is better, right? We've been told by our supplier that we have made the very first chrome wrapped car in all of Central Florida. While the idea of driving a shiny silver car may not be everyone's cup of tea, we can attest that it certainly demands attention. Drivers sped up to get a better look, as well as honked their horns, and snapped camera photos. We've never seen anything like the reaction that this car has gotten. If you'd like to see more, we just uploaded two photos of the new chrome wrap at www.technowraps.com/portfolio

Budget concious marketers choose partial wraps

Partial vehicle wraps provide big bang for the buck.
Partial wraps like this provide big bang for the buck
In the current economic climate, marketers are looking for options to stretch their advertising dollar. While full graphic wraps provide the biggest wow factor, partial wraps are a great way to add dynamic graphics to your vehicle with a smaller budget. Digitally printed graphics can be combined with cut vinyl graphics to achieve most of the impact of a full vehicle wrap, without the full price. Our graphic designers try to work with the body lines of the vehicle, so that the graphics look natural and "flow" better. When considering if a partial wrap is right for you, it is important to think about the factory color of your car. Neutral colors like white, black, and silver usually are most effective, since they are unlikely to clash with the printed portion of the wrap. The factory color of a car or truck is not important if your vehicle to be a full vehicle wrap, since all painted surfaces will be covered in vinyl. If you'd like to see some examples of full and partial wraps, please see our porfolio. www.technowraps.com/portfolio/
