Get a Quote for My Vehicle →Can you really wrap outdoor and marine vehicles?
Yes — we specify premium cast wrap films and overlaminates built for sun, water, and road exposure. For boats and PWCs we pay attention to waterline, hull shape, and maintenance access. For RVs/trailers we route around doors, vents, windows, and slide-outs. For golf carts and UTVs we use tight template work so seams stay hidden and graphics stay readable.
- UV-aware films
- Marine / outdoor finishes
- Rivet, vent & door management
- Logos, numbering, striping
- Removable / paint-safe (when OEM is good)
FAQs — RVs, Boats, Golf Carts & More
Built for Columbus, Alum Creek, Buckeye Lake, Indian Lake, and Central Ohio boat/RV owners.
1. What kinds of vehicles can you wrap?
RVs and travel trailers, enclosed trailers, boats and PWCs (above waterline), golf carts, UTVs, ATVs, cargo and food trailers, toy haulers, even promo trailers. If it’s a smooth, sound surface, we can usually design and wrap it.
2. Are marine/boat wraps different from vehicle wraps?
A bit. We pay attention to waterline, hull curves, and UV. We use outdoor-capable films and match laminate to expected exposure. We’ll tell you where the film should not sit fully submerged long-term.
3. How much does an RV or trailer wrap cost?
Most RV/trailer projects we see in Central Ohio land between $1,800–$6,500+ depending on length, height, coverage (partial vs full), surface condition, and how much design you want. Large 5th wheels and premium full graphics will be higher.
4. What about boats?
Boats vary more — most run in the $1,200–$3,800+ range depending on size, complexity and design. We wrap above the waterline and we’ll show you where seams land.
5. Can you do golf carts and small utility vehicles?
Yes — golf carts, campground shuttles, resort carts, and UTVs are common. We template panels for a tight, OEM-looking fit. Great for numbering or branding for a park or business.
6. Will the wrap harm the gelcoat or factory paint?
On sound, original surfaces the wrap is paint-safe and removable. If the gelcoat is chalked, or the paint is heavily oxidized / peeling, we’ll flag that — vinyl will stick to whatever is failing underneath.
7. How long will an outdoor / RV / boat wrap last?
Typically 3–5+ years for vehicles that live outdoors in Ohio weather, longer when stored inside or covered. UV, lake exposure, and washing methods all affect lifespan.
8. Do I need to bring it to your Lewis Center shop?
Preferred, yes — shop installs give us the clean, temp-controlled space (70–75°F) that vinyl needs. For trailers and some RVs we can review on-site installs if you have an indoor, well-lit space. We’ll tell you what’s realistic.
9. Can you wrap over old decals and faded graphics?
We can cover many OEM decals, but raised / cracked / shrinking graphics should be removed first to avoid ghosting or ridges. We can quote removal + surface prep.
10. Can you match my marina / campground / fleet branding?
Yes — we can match to your existing brand colors, logos, and numbering so all units look consistent. We’ll ask for vector files (AI, EPS, PDF).
11. Do you laminate everything?
Yes — we use the correct overlaminate for the base film so the graphics stay color-true and easier to clean.
12. How do I wash a wrapped RV or boat?
Mild soap, soft brush or mitt, no harsh solvents, and avoid long-term standing water on edges. We’ll give you an after-care sheet.
13. Can you install numbers, DOT, or sponsor logos on top?
100%. We can lay the main wrap first and then add registration numbers, boat names, sponsor spots, campground logos or business info.
14. How long does it take?
Small carts / PWCs: often 1 day. Boats / trailers / midsize RVs: 1–2 days. Large RVs or heavy removal jobs: 2–3+ days. We’ll schedule you to minimize downtime.
15. Do you serve outside Columbus?
Yes — we cover a 100-mile radius from Lewis Center: Columbus, Delaware, Dublin, Westerville, Powell, New Albany, Grove City, Hilliard, Gahanna, Newark, Lancaster, Springfield, and lakeside installs when space allows.
