Questions About Distributed Products

Q: What is the difference between Removable and Permanent CamoClad?

UPDATED CamoWraps is discontinued. Over the decades we have only offered the best of the best. Technology moves forward Tastes change Custom made wraps are more economical and easy to make 'one off' just for you Yes, this is confusing at first glance. The Permanent is cheaper. And since it is "Permanent" is it must be better right? No. We wish there was a better description other than "Permanent" and "Removable" for these two CamoClad products. "Permanent" means it WILL NOT come off no matter what -even if you want it off!. It will take a grinder to it off. This is a negative if the CamoClad will need to come off later. This is why it is not recommended for vehicles (and is cheaper). "Removable" means it will not come off till you want it off. Even then, it will take some work (heat gun, solvents, elbow grease). "Removable" CamoClad will not in any way damage the paint it is applied to when working at removing the product even many years later. Extra engineering goes into the glue for the "Removable" CamoClad, therefore the extra cost. We no longer offer CamoClad products. This question is now mute since CamoWraps only offers the 'good stuff' (3M control tac vinyl) to start with. This means: (1) No damage caused by the paint even if removed years later. (2) No 'accidental' removal until desired. Yes, CamoWraps, in our opinion is the superior product. Have another question about decals, signs, lettering, or stripes?

Q: Can I get a CamoWraps kit for my ________?

UPDATED CamoWraps is discontinued. Over the decades we have only offered the best of the best. Technology moves forward Tastes change Custom made wraps are more economical and easy to make 'one off' just for you Very common question. While CamoWraps does offer kits for some ATVs die cut to fit, this is not a popular option. Why? Well, what happens if you mess-up just one little piece? A big problem... because of the time and expense of getting that one fitted piece to you. A much better option is to order either a kit with the same square footage you need or order by the sheet. This will allow some leeway for mistakes. So what to do? Take some time and measure the square footage needed to cover your ________ and, first see if another general CamoWraps kit has close to the same material. If not, order the number of 4'x5' sheets needed to cover your project. Have another question about decals, signs, lettering, or stripes?

Q: Can you do a rendering in your pre-made graphics?

Image Quest, Fas Graphics, and Auto Trim Express graphics can not be rendered well. We simply distribute. The manufacturers will not give us the computer graphics for renderings. They are afraid we would use the files as a template to make the graphics custom. Which would be a good idea. This limits what renderings we can do. :( Only the graphics that are custom made found in this section can be rendered. But that is still over 1,200 side stripes. Many to choose from.

Q: Can you change the color or size just a bit on a pre-made graphic?

Sadly, these are pre-made and we simply distribute the product for someone else. But this is a great idea. We've asked..... and asked . But the makers of these products just will not give out the high dpi files for us to work with. Which does make sense for them. Why would we buy and distribute their product if we had their artwork. We would simply bypass them. Sometimes the next question is: Can you make these graphics up 'from scratch' for a one time run for me? Yes - but the cost will be high for just a one run graphic (by comparison). This is the reason others mass produce and then get others to sell their production. That being said, if you have artwork or a design in mind, let us know - we love doing first class custom work. But the price just will not be as cheap as the pre-made graphics.

Q: Can you make a Camo pin-stripe for my truck?

NO Sadly, a camo pattern for a pin-stripe - while it sounds like a good idea - in application just does not look good. The problem is in recognizing the pattern as camo. If the pattern is left at it usual size, there is not enough detail on a skinny stripe to recognize the pattern... It looks all splotchy. If the pattern is reduced to get the details (leaves, twigs, etc..), you have to get so close (within just a couple of inches) to see the details. We've tried this idea, and are looking for someone to figure out how to make a good looking camo pin stripe. But, as of yet, nobody has one. Have another question about decals, signs, lettering, or stripes?

Question 1

Can I get a CamoWraps kit for my ________?

Answer

CamoWraps has been discontinued. Previously, pre-fitted kits for specific vehicles were available but discouraged because a single mistake could ruin a custom piece. Customers were advised to measure their project’s square footage and purchase unfitted kits or sheets to allow for errors during installation.

Question 2

Can you change the color or size just a bit on a pre-made graphic?

Answer

Pre-made graphics from third-party manufacturers cannot be altered in color or size because the high-resolution files are not provided to the distributor. While the company can create a similar graphic from scratch as a custom order, doing so for a one-time run will be significantly more expensive than purchasing the pre-made version.

Question 3

Can you do a rendering in your pre-made graphics?

Answer

Renderings cannot be provided for pre-made graphics distributed from third-party manufacturers like Image Quest, Fas Graphics, or Auto Trim Express, as the manufacturers do not share the necessary digital files. Renderings are only available for the company’s own custom-made side stripes.

Question 4

Can you make a Camo pin-stripe for my truck?

Answer

Creating a camouflage pin-stripe is not recommended because the pattern loses its recognizable detail when scaled down to a narrow stripe, appearing either splotchy or requiring the viewer to be unnaturally close to see the details. The company has not found a way to make a camo pin-stripe look visually appealing.

Question 5

Does CamoWraps come pre-fitted?

Answer

CamoWraps is discontinued. Historically, some kits came pre-fitted, but unfitted sheets were recommended to avoid registration issues and allow for trimming after application. When installing multiple panels, it was advised to align the pattern’s shadow direction consistently across all pieces for a uniform look.

Question 6

How easy is CamoWrap to install?

Answer

CamoWraps has been discontinued. Prior to discontinuation, it was considered relatively easy to install because it used 3M Control Tac vinyl, allowing for repositioning before curing, and the camouflage pattern effectively hid bubbles and splices. However, installation was highly time-consuming, often requiring around 40 hours of meticulous preparation and application.

Question 7

What is the difference between Removable and Permanent CamoClad?

Answer

CamoWraps and CamoClad products have been discontinued. The company previously offered both options but now only provides high-quality custom wraps that ensure no paint damage upon removal and prevent accidental peeling, rendering the distinction between removable and permanent versions obsolete.
