  • A color change wrap is the process of taking your factory paint color and wrapping it with vinyl material to "change" the color of the vehicle. Painting a vehicle to change the color can be a very expensive process. Color change wrap can be done at a fraction of the cost and provide a larger selection of colors and finishes. 3M, Avery, KPF, and PWF are the brands we use for our color change wraps at Octane Customs. Contact us today to get started!

  • There are several variables that determine the cost to wrap your vehicle. We will need to know the year, make, model, the current color and condition of your vehicle, and the color and finish you are looking for in a wrap. If you are looking for commercial wraps to advertise your business, our in-house graphic designers can design a custom-printed wrap to turn your vehicle into a moving billboard to increase your brand awareness.

  • Vinyl wrap can last up to five to seven years, but this is dependent on the quality of materials used, exposure to sunlight and weather conditions, and how well the wrap is maintained. We use industry-leading materials that are trusted to provide maximum longevity and durability. We recommend the vehicle wraps be hand washed because some automatic car washes can be damaging. Reach out today to learn more.

  • Yes! If all manufacturer procedures are followed, then the wrap can be removed without damaging any of the vehicle's factory paint. In fact, the vinyl actually helps protect the paint from harmful UV rays, exposure to other elements, and minor scratches when it's time for removal. It is recommended to have it done by certified professionals. Reach out to our team today.

  • Paint Protection Film (PPF), commonly known as a clear bra, is virtually invincible. It's a film layer that protects your vehicle's paint from everyday damages, including scuffs, scratches, rock chips, bug acids, oils, and bird droppings. Here at Octane Customs, we use XPEL PPF, one of the most advanced paint protection films on the market. XPEL's paint protection film is non-yellowing, stain resistant, easy to clean, won't lift or delaminate, and it has a heat-activated self-healing topcoat.
