Residential Vehicle Wraps: How Much is Too Much?

Designing a residential vehicle wrap in Kansas City can be difficult. On the one hand, people want their cars to look unique and eye-catching. On the other hand, they don’t want their car to look too colorful or distracting. Here are a few tips for creating the perfect look without going too far overboard.

Full Vehicle Wraps Allow More Custom Options

While vinyl graphics are great, full vehicle wraps are the easiest way to completely transform a car. A full wrap provides owners with complete control over color, style, and placement. Even transparent wraps can go over windows without impeding drivability.

Choosing the Perfect Color Scheme

It’s okay to use vibrant colors on a car wrap, just do them with care. While driving a lime green, teal, and hot pink car may sound great on paper, they don’t need to coat the entire vehicle. A better solution would be to incorporate them into a beautiful abstract design.

For those who are unsure about what colors to use, try a traditional color wheel. Choose your favorite color then pair it with a color on the exact opposite side of the wheel. This creates the perfect color duo!

Less Can Be More

You don’t have to be over-the-top to make an impression. Some of the simplest designs can give a car a personalized touch. Stripes and small graphics are easy to incorporate into a full wrap. Talk to a professional about some of the most popular designs. An experienced graphic designer can help you make the look your own!

Careful Lettering

Because residential wraps aren’t used for advertising, there is usually very little need for lettering. If you want to incorporate letters or numbers into the design, do so sparingly. Large race car numbers on the side or a nickname written out is great, but avoid additional details to make it clear you aren’t a business.
