This Hyundai Veloster Turbo came to us for a full custom livery. The owner wanted something aggressive and original. We built the design in-house: a red, black, and white splatter livery printed on clear film and applied over the factory white paint. Then we covered the whole thing with 3M paint protection film to lock in the finish.
It’s a layered build with a lot going on. Here’s how we approached it.
The Design
The concept was built around the Veloster’s aggressive body lines. Wide rear quarters, a low roofline, the asymmetric door layout. The splatter graphic style with jagged brushstroke elements in red and black plays off the car’s attitude without fighting the factory bodywork.
The design was developed entirely in-house by our team. That means the graphics were scaled and placed specifically for this car, accounting for panel lines, the Turbo badging, and the red wheel accent the owner already had. The whole design was then printed at scale and prepped for installation.
If you want to understand more about what goes into a build like this from concept to finished install, our livery design guide covers the full process.
Printed on Clear Film
The graphics were printed onto clear vinyl film rather than white. This matters for two reasons.
First, it lets the factory white paint show through as part of the design. The white areas in the livery are not ink — they are the car’s original finish. That gives the graphic a depth and integration you cannot get any other way. The design sits on the car rather than over it.
Second, clear film is fully removable. The factory paint underneath stays protected and undamaged for the life of the wrap.
3M PPF Over the Wrap
After the livery was installed, we applied 3M paint protection film over the entire surface. PPF over a printed wrap is a layer of insurance most people do not think about until it is too late.
Printed graphics are vulnerable to UV fading, stone chips, and surface abrasion in a way that solid color vinyl is not. The ink sits on top of the film’s surface. Without protection over it, everyday road debris can degrade the design faster than the vinyl itself. The PPF seals the graphics, maintains the gloss, and gives the owner something to replace if the surface takes damage instead of the wrap underneath.
For a custom vehicle wrap with this much design investment, skipping PPF would have been the wrong call.
It Came Back for a Reason
This car came back to us after the front bumper was involved in an accident. The owner filed an insurance claim and the repair went through us.
This is becoming more common. As vehicle wraps grow in popularity, insurance companies are catching up to the reality that a wrapped vehicle is not just a painted one. When a wrapped car takes damage, the repair is not a simple repaint. The graphic has to be matched, re-printed, and re-installed to the same standard as the original work. That requires the shop that did the original build, or one with the capability to reproduce it accurately.
AZRagIPS works directly with insurance companies on wrap repair claims. If your wrapped vehicle has been in an accident, contact us before you go through a body shop that has never worked with vinyl. The outcome will be different.
