The process
How the work goes
Every job runs in a set order. Pick one to see the steps.
Sand
Scuff the old finish so new paint can grip.
Prime
Fill low spots and seal bare metal.
Mask
Tape and paper cover what stays untouched.
Spray
Base color goes on in even, wet coats.
Clear
Clearcoat adds depth and protects the color.
Buff
A final polish brings out the gloss.
Estimate
We look over the damage, go over the quote, and sort out the insurance claim if there is one.
Tear down
Damaged parts come off so any hidden damage shows up before work starts.
Repair
Panels are straightened and dents pulled. Parts that can't be saved are replaced. We send photo updates as it goes.
Prep
Filler, sanding and primer get the surface ready for paint.
Paint
Color is matched, sprayed and clearcoated to blend with the rest of the car.
Reassemble
Parts go back on, the car gets a final check, and you pick it up.
Plan
Pick the star pattern for the roof and the colors and zones for ambient lighting.
Remove
Trim panels and the headliner come out so we can work on them.
Lay out
Star positions are marked and fiber strands are fed through the headliner.
Route
Light strips and wiring run along the dash, doors and footwells, hidden behind trim.
Test
Everything connects to a controller and gets tested before the car goes back together.
Reinstall
The headliner and trim go back in, and we show you how to control the lights.
Plan
Choose the lights you want: underglow, rock lights, aftermarket headlights, and the colors and controls for each.
Inspect
We check the car and decide where the lights, wiring and power will go.
Remove
Bumpers, wheel liners or headlight housings come off where needed to get at the mounting points.
Mount
Underglow strips and rock light pods are fixed in place, and new headlights are fitted in the housings.
Wire
Wiring is routed out of sight, sealed against water, and tied into power and the controller.
Test
Every light is tested and adjusted, headlights are aimed, and we show you how to use the controls.
Plan
Pick which panels get film: a full car, the front end, or just the high-impact areas.
Wash
A deep wash and decontamination so no dirt gets trapped under the film.
Correct
Paint flaws are polished out first, because the film locks in whatever is under it.
Cut
Film is cut to fit each panel, either from a pattern or trimmed by hand on the car.
Apply
The film is laid on with a slip solution and squeegeed flat, then stretched and wrapped around edges.
Cure
Edges are sealed and the film is inspected. We go over how to care for it and how long to wait before washing.
Choose
Pick the shade and film for each window, keeping local tint rules in mind.
Clean
Glass is scrubbed inside and out so no dust or hair gets under the film.
Cut
Film is cut to the shape of each window.
Shape
Curved glass gets heat-shrunk so the film lies flat with no creases.
Apply
The film goes on with a slip solution and is squeegeed out so the water and air are pushed to the edges.
Cure
We check every window and tell you how long to keep them up while the film dries.
Tell us
Tell us what you want: stickers printed to take with you, or a decal put on your car.
Design
Bring your own artwork or we help build it, and you see a proof before anything prints.
Choose
Pick the size, colors and material that fit where it will go.
Print
Your design is printed and laminated for sun and weather.
Cut
Each sticker or decal is cut out and the extra vinyl is removed.
Apply or pick up
Stickers are ready for pickup. Decals for your car go on clean and flat, lined up and smoothed out.
Design
Pick the color and finish, and plan where the vinyl goes.
Clean
A deep wash and prep so the vinyl bonds cleanly to the surface.
Strip down
Handles, lights and trim come off where needed for clean edges.
Apply
Vinyl goes on panel by panel and is heated to follow the curves.
Trim
Edges are cut, tucked and sealed with heat.
Final check
We inspect every panel and go over how to care for the wrap.
