Jeep Wrangler Vinyl Wraps

Are you looking for a versatile, stylish, and capable vehicle that can handle a wide range of driving conditions? The sturdy Jeep Wrangler provides the power to explore new territories and is an excellent choice for those who enjoy off-road adventures. Not only that it is highly suited to urban environments as well. Its boxy shape and seven-slot grille give it a unique look that many people love.

The Wrangler can be both your everyday and vacation companion. Taking a road trip on it to your favorite destination can be thrilling and extremely pleasurable. When you own such a vehicle, the maintenance cost becomes the top priority. The best way to keep it in excellent condition is to wrap it in vinyl. Here’s why your Wrangler will benefit from the vast variety of vinyl wraps available in different textures and finishes.

Why Should I Wrap My Jeep Wrangler?

As mentioned earlier, the Wrangler is an all-terrain vehicle that can bear the brunt of a rough ride. Hence it is more prone to minor damages on the road. Keeping it in excellent condition means multiple trips to the mechanic and car wash. The constant sun exposure can also damage the car’s paint, fading it over time. An easy alternative is using vinyl wraps to provide an additional layer of protection for your vehicle's paint job and shield it from scratches, dings, and other minor damages that can occur from daily driving. 

The best part about the vinyl is the freedom of customization. Vinyl wraps offer a wide range of design options and colors, allowing you to customize the look of your Wrangler to your personal preferences. You can choose from a variety of finishes, such as matte, gloss, metallic, or even textured, to create a unique and eye-catching appearance. You can opt for a two-tined look or get a vinyl film printed according to the design you have visualized. 

Wrapping your Wrangler can also help preserve its resale value by protecting the original paint from wear and tear. When the time to sell your vehicle comes, having a well-preserved exterior will make it more attractive to potential buyers. Compared to a full paint job, wrapping your Wrangler can be a more cost-effective option. Vinyl wraps are reversible as well. They can be easily removed or replaced if you want to change the design or color in the future.

Vinyl Color And Design Options For The Wrangler

Vinyl films are an extremely versatile and popular material used for a wide range of applications, from advertising and branding to automotive design. One of the key advantages is their ability to come in a variety of styles, colors, and finishes, which allows for a greater degree of customization and creativity. 

This means there is a vinyl film to suit almost any need, whether it's a bold and eye-catching design for a brand or a subtle and sophisticated finish for a high-end vehicle. Following are some of the options that you can install on your Wrangler.

Gloss Vinyl Wrap

To revamp your Wrangler with a look closer to the original paint of the vehicle, we advise you to opt for the gloss wrap. Apart from aesthetic qualities, gloss vinyl is also known for its durability and resistance to damage from the elements. It can protect the surface from scratches, chips and UV rays, and is easy to clean and maintain.

The glossy finish of the vinyl creates a shiny, reflective effect that can make your Jeep Wrangler look sleek and polished. The shades that you can go for in this vinyl are Super Glossy Reseda Green, Super Glossy Carmine Red, and High Glossy Orange.

Metallic Vinyl Wrap

Metallic vinyl boasts a high sheen just like polished metal. It is designed to resist the destructive effects of the environment, such as exposure to the sun, rain, and snow. This makes it a great option for individuals who reside in climate-challenged places or who use their cars for everyday commuting, including driving through puddles and mud at campgrounds during vacations. The sparkling finish leaves the car with a stunning body, looking magical both during the day and at night.

One of the most sought after shades in metallic film for Jeep Wrangler is Glossy Metallic Deep Blue. This shimmery solid blue color creates a spiced up look that looks great on the jeep. Another option in the same category is the Glossy Metallic Copper vinyl. It is a rich shade belonging to the family of brown that is perfect for your Jeep Wrangler.

Chrome Vinyl Wrap

The chrome wrap adds a wow factor to your Wrangler. These are highly reflective, mirror-like films that gleam in daylight. Chrome wraps are not everyone’s cup of tea. They are distinctive and highly captivating. If you like your jeep to stand out from the crowd and be a real head turner, go for Mirror Chrome Silver vinyl.

Matte Vinyl Wrap

This vinyl film provides a futuristic, sleek and elegant silhouette to the vehicle without any shimmer. It presents a tough facade that exudes charm while creating an aura of mystery. Matte Black is the preferred shade for a jeep. You can also go for Matte Military Green for a sturdy, gung-ho look. 

Carbon Fiber

Carbon fiber is famous for giving vehicles a unique and sporty look. It offers a cheaper alternative than a complete paint job and replicates the appearance of genuine carbon fiber. The glossy finish of the wrap provides a shiny reflective appearance that accentuates the curves of the vehicle, adding an extra touch of elegance and style to its overall look.

It is mostly used for partial wrapping such as just the hood of the Wrangler. You can use it in contrast with other vinyl films to add a design element to the overall appearance. For those seeking to improve the facade of their jeep, our carbon fiber wrap with its intricate weave is a simple and reversible choice.

How Much Vinyl Do I Need For My Jeep Wrangler?

If you want to fully wrap your Wrangler, you will have to measure the dimensions of the vehicle and then calculate the amount of vinyl required accordingly. You should keep in mind the finish you choose and the surface area of the parts of the Wrangler that you want to wrap. This includes the hood, doors, fenders, roof, and any other exterior surfaces that you want to cover with vinyl. You can follow the steps mentioned below to measure your vehicle:

1. Measure the length and width of each surface that you want to wrap. Use a tape for accuracy.
   
2. Multiply the length by the width to get the surface area of each part.
   
3. Add them all up to get the total surface area.
   
4. Add 10% to the total surface area to account for any waste or errors in measurement.
   
5. Check the width of the vinyl roll you plan to use. Divide the total surface area by the width of the roll to determine how many linear feet of vinyl you will need.

The total surface area of the Jeep Wrangler on average would be 230 square feet. Adding 10% for waste and errors, the total would be 253 square feet. If the vinyl roll you plan to use is 5 feet wide, you will need approximately 50-55 linear feet of vinyl (253 divided by 5).

Average Cost Of Wrapping The Jeep Wrangler

The average cost of wrapping a Jeep Wrangler can vary depending on several factors such as the size of the model you wish to cover, the type of vinyl material, and the location of the wrapping service. Price also depends on whether you want a full or a partial wrap. A basic solid color full wrap for a Jeep Wrangler can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $6,000.

Some wrapping services may charge additional fees for removing the wrap later or for any repairs or maintenance required during the wrap's lifespan. If this exceeds your budget, don’t worry at all.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Is it difficult to wrap the Jeep Wrangler?
Wrapping a Jeep Wrangler can be a challenging task, but it largely depends on the experience and skill level of the person doing the job. The Wrangler's boxy shape, complex body lines, and multiple components (such as fenders, doors, and bumpers) can make the process more time-consuming and require more attention to detail than wrapping a simpler vehicle.

Additionally, Wranglers can have a range of accessories and modifications, such as winches, light bars, and snorkels, which can make the job even more difficult. However, experienced and skilled vinyl wrap installers should be able to handle it and produce a high-quality finish. Do not do it yourself if you lack the expertise, experience and the necessary knowhow.

Q. How do I avoid scratches on my wrapped jeep?
Scratches on a vehicle's surface can be unsightly and potentially lead to more serious damage if left untreated. Avoid parking in areas with overhanging trees or bushes that could scratch the surface. Wash the jeep regularly to remove dirt and debris. Use a soft sponge or microfiber cloth, and avoid using abrasive materials. Avoid automatic car washes as many use harsh brushes.

Q. Can wrapped jeeps be washed?
Yes, wrapped cars can be washed but it is important to follow some specific guidelines to ensure that the vinyl wrap remains in good condition such as washing the vehicle with hands using a mild soap and rinse it thoroughly. Be gentle and wash the body in circular motions. Do not forget to dry the jeep after it has been thoroughly cleaned. 

Q. How long do vinyl wraps last?
The lifespan of a vinyl wrap depends on several factors including the quality of the vinyl material, the conditions to which the wrap is exposed, how it has been installed and how well the wrap is maintained. A good quality vinyl lasts for 3-4 years.
