Wrapping an Ambulance

Just got back from the wrap shop and he says nothing to it. He measured and will give me a price in a day or two. My only concern as we talked was that when/if I decide to remove the wrap it might pull some paint with it depending on the quality of the paint job. We all know the quality of paint on my ambulance is not on an Ed Renstrom level.

I'll wait and see the cost. Anything over $250 does not interest me.
 
Looks pretty good with white bottoms. For the record don't get up in arms all pictures came off the internet.

the bucket fill is easy enough to do on a picture now try that on the car. but if it was a advertisement you were looking for I would do the glass. but trust me I have had my share of paint problems. over the years.
 
I'm not sure if I shared this one with you or not. this is a pictures of the Custer ambulance with it wrap.

mainly deer for them with a occasional mountain lion. buffalo and elk will be high enough to come on inside. as high as that one is you hit some that weighs 2000 pounds it can't be attached to that ford stout enough to help. bull elk will be easily 1500 with at least 4 feet from the ground to the belly. so let's just say it looks cool

That is the price around here for an average car. Not a big car !

Your correct on price but it is fallen in popularity. Rarely see much of it anymore.

Most are small spots or logos vs whole cars. Sometimes you see a 1/4 side of a van done with a company logo.

Maybe because of issues with doing whole cars.

Here is a picture of an ambulance from Childrens National Medical Center in DC. The box is a full wrap, with pictures of different kids on the other side and back. (Frankly, the giant kids kinda creep me out.)

Wraps are still popular around here. A lot of transit busses have full-size wraps with advertising. And for those who don't know, most of the vans from the airport transportation company Super Shuttle are actually white vans with the blue wrap and logos all the way around, including the roof.

Couple things I'll throw out here, up until recently my job was to apply vinyl graphics to 12 foot by 24 foot rotating billboard signs. The cost for each graphic was around $500 (which is undoubtedly a jobber price, not a price available to the public), then I got paid roughly $1000 per graphic to install them. Application hours averaged about 20 per sign from start to finish. Square footage for an ambulance would probably be about the same, install time on a vehicle would probably be the same or more, depending on how nicely you wanted it done. $250 would probably not be enough to buy the vinyl needed.

Also keep in mind vinyl is graded by how many years it will last. The price goes up the longer you want it to last without cracking or discoloring. The best stuff lasts 7-10 years usually.
