How long does a vinyl wrap last in Arizona?

Typically 3–7 years depending on film type, color, exposure, and maintenance. Parking in shade and hand washing extends life.

What’s included in a blackout (chrome delete) package?

Common pieces are window trim, grilles, emblems, badges, mirror caps, roof, and other chrome accents. We’ll map your specific pieces and finish (satin or gloss).

Will a wrap damage my paint?

On healthy OEM paint, professional installs and removals do not damage the paint. Poor repaints or failing clear coat are higher risk—ask us to inspect first.

Can I combine PPF with a wrap?

Yes. Many customers apply PPF to high-impact areas (front bumper/hood/fenders/mirrors) and use vinyl for color or blackout. We’ll help you layer correctly for edges and serviceability.

How do I clean a wrapped or blacked-out vehicle?

Wait 48–72 hours after install, then hand wash with pH-neutral soap, a soft mitt, and gentle rinse. Avoid harsh chemicals and high pressure at edges. A wrap-safe ceramic coating makes upkeep easier.

Wrap styles: matte, satin, gloss, textures & partials

Full color-change wraps: Matte, satin, or gloss in OEM-style and custom colors.
Textured & specialty films: Metallic, color-shift, brushed, forged carbon, stealth.
Partials: Roof/hood, mirrors, stripes, door handles, interior trims.
Printed graphics: Logos, patterns, or unique designs for branding or personal builds.

Car Blackout packages (what’s included)

“Blackout” (aka chrome delete) removes brightwork for a sleeker look:

Trim & window surrounds, grilles, emblems/badges, mirror caps, roof, spoilers, and exhaust surrounds.
Choose satin or gloss black for a modern OEM+ finish; we can also match accents to your tint and PPF.

Wraps vs PPF (paint protection film)

Vinyl wrap: Best for style and color changes. Adds light scratch resistance but is mainly aesthetic.
PPF (clear or colored): Best for impact & scratch protection against rock chips; available in gloss or matte/stealth. Many Tempe customers do PPF on high-impact zones (front end) + vinyl wrap or blackout for style.

Typical costs in the Tempe market (ballpark)

Exact pricing depends on vehicle size/complexity, film brand, coverage, and prep:

Full color-change wrap: often $2,500–$5,500+
Blackout package / chrome delete: typically $300–$1,200 (depends on pieces)
Roof/hood/mirrors partials: usually $150–$700 each area You’ll get a precise estimate with our fast quote once we see your vehicle and film choice. Fineline uses premium films and backs installs with a guaranteed warranty.

Maintenance & care (Arizona-proof tips)

Cure time: Avoid washing for 48–72 hours post-install.
Washing: Hand wash or touchless; pH-neutral soap, soft mitt, low pressure near edges.
Protection: Consider a wrap-safe ceramic coating to ease cleaning and resist UV grime.
Sun & storage: Whenever possible, shade/garage parking extends color life in AZ.
Spot cleaning: Use wrap-safe detailer; avoid harsh solvents and automatic brush washes.

How long do wraps last in AZ?

With quality film and proper care, many color-change wraps last 3–7 years in Arizona conditions; blackout trims can last as long or longer. Removal by pros leaves healthy OEM paint intact.
