RC Car Wraps

When you want to give your remote control car, truck or boat a new look or simply want to upgrade the look of your radio control you've got a lot of options. Unfortunately, most of those are expensive options. Go ahead and look online and you'll find that so-called RC car wraps are usually decal kits made specifically for your make, model and brand of remote control vehicle that require a lot of skill and patience to apply well. Not only that, but they usually start at around $50! Wrap your RC car yourself with any one of hundreds of different colors and patterns and pay a fifth of the cost of RC car skins sold elsewhere.

Can You Wrap an RC Car?

If you want to create a new and creative look for your RC Cars without doing a lot of work, wrapping them is much easier than painting. While wrapping does take some time (and, we should add, a friend or two) and isn't as easy as putting gift paper on a present or a bumper decal on your car, it does take less time to do than painting and does away with the hassle and mess too.

What Are the Benefits of RC Car Wraps?

RC Cars are the ideal way to get around your community and, no surprise, golf courses. The high-quality vinyl used in our RC Car wraps is abrasion resistant and has a built in UV protective layer to keep colors from fading, as well as to stand up to the wear and tear of off-roading use. While paint jobs can be expensive and tend to require regular maintenance, DIY wrapping is affordable and can last for over nine years. Vinyl wraps can be removed at any time without causing any harm to the underlying paint.

1. Customized Fun

From solid color RC Car skins to digitally printed designs — vinyl wraps make customizing your cart easy and fun. Rather than trying to hand-paint your cart, you can control costs by purchasing the material in bulk and wrapping it yourself. And, since you can partially wrap the exterior and interior, you really do control every part of your RC Car’s look.  Best of all, unlike paints, you can get patterns and three-dimensional finishes when you wrap it in carbon fiber, brushed metals and other fun finishes like ORAFOL Crocodile or Honeycomb.

2. Lower Cost

A regular paint job for your RC Car will likely cost you around up to $500. As with any paint job, the price is highly dependent on the amount of work that must be done before you have it painted. You can expect to pay a third of this for premium vinyl wraps and, if you wrap your quad yourself, you could save both time and money.

3. Hassle Free

If you want to remove your vinyl wrap to expose the paint underneath, a professional can remove it quickly with minimal damage to the surface. Therefore, wraps can be used to protect the paint from the elements and preserve their resale value. Also, if you want to switch to a new design or graphic for your vinyl wrap, it’s easy to replace with another. Finally, since vinyl has no chemicals or solvents needed for its application, it’s safer for the environment.

How Much Does It Cost to Vinyl Wrap a RC Car?

In general, custom, digitally printed RC Car wraps usually run between $185 to $350. With the help of a friend, you wrap the complete body of the golf car using a heat gun or hair dryer. And, while all of the RC Car wraps we carry are made by premium brands like 3M™ and Avery™, they're still available in an almost mind-boggling assortment of colors, finishes and sizes. Here are a few points to factor into the cost of a wrap, including:

• The design time and complexity of your design
• The time of the installation
• The brand and type of vinyl used

Which Brands of RC Car Can You Wrap?

Let's be honest, you can wrap any brand or style of RC Car, so long as you only track to wrap the hard, non-porous parts. As a result, there is no shortage of carts that can be wrapped but here are the most common types of RC Cars that people like to wrap:

How Long Can a RC Car Wrap Last?

There will always be those who argue that paint is superior because it lasts longer, but they almost never take into account that paint needs to be regularly repaired and undergo yearly maintenance. Maintaining a painted cart is more difficult than a vinyl wrapped one and certainly requires more skill. If, on the other hand, vinyl needs a fix, it’s quick and easy. In addition to being easier to repair, RC Car wraps are also fade resistant, so there’s no trouble matching your repair color to the rest of the ride. Best of all, there’s no need to wrap the entire vessel again if one area gets damaged.
