FAQs
Install Cleaning
Q: What is the best method for prepping wrap surfaces?
A: We recommend you use alcohol to prep your application areas. Wax residue or any grime will lead to adhesive failure. Also, make sure to use a smooth cloth of some kind to clean area so as to prevent light scratching of surface.
Tunnel Questions
Q: Other then hood wraps do you offer additional pieces for sled wraps?
A: Yes, we offer a “Trim to Fit” tunnel piece online with the wrap. The piece is about 52″ in length for each side. If you want to wrap the entire tunnel, we need hard dimensions from you on the sizes and we can get you a price for the additional printed vinyl.
Sled Models
Q: What models of sleds do you cover for your wraps?
A: We cover three manufacturers: Arctic Cat, Polaris and Ski-Doo. Unfortunately, we do not currently have wraps for Yamaha snowmobiles. For Arctic Cat, we have wraps that will fit the M-Series, Crossfire and the Sno Pro race sled chassis. For Polaris, we have wraps that will fit the IQ RMK Chassis, Assault, Shift etc. and then we have wraps that will fit the IQ race sled chassis. Please check with us prior to ordering your wrap if you are unsure if SCS has correct template for your sled and if not we will do our best to accommodate you.
Adding Logo’s
Q: Can you add logos to your wrap, change colors, and if so, how many and at what additional cost?
A: Yes, we can add logos to wraps for sponsors, company names etc. Underneath each wrap there are drop down menus and one is titled “Colors and Logos.” In that menu there will be the option to select one logo or three logos. One logo addition to a wrap is an additional $25 charge and three logos will be $50 added to total cost. Under that specific drop down menu titled above you can also change colors to the wrap as well. One color change is an additional $25 charge. There is a additional comments box during checkout process that will let the customer outline the specifics for the color change.
Q: Can SCS make custom sled wraps?
A: Yes, the base rate for a custom sled wrap is $250 and our custom design rate is $75 per hour and design typically takes between 4 to 6 hours.
Material Description
Q: What is the material used to print sled wraps?
A: Our Sled Wraps and Graphics offer DPF 8000 3.8-mil satin white, high-tensile, polyvinyl chloride film with aggressive, permanent pressure-sensitive adhesive. Designed for indoor and outdoor graphics, DPF 8000 is made of 100% polymeric face stock with a special lay-flat liner. The special adhesive system is designed to stick to “hard-to-stick” surfaces and low energy surfaces. DPF 8000 is designed to meet the marking requirements and specifications of the transportation, vending, and automotive industries. The film conforms well to flat surfaces with slight contours when processed and applied according to Arlon recommendations. DPF 8000 is rated for outdoor durability up to 7 years (unprinted).
Q: What is a description of the laminate material used to protect sled wrap graphics?
A: The primary purpose of lamination is to provide abrasion protection for your prints. Lamination is a must for sled wraps and stickers because they will endure cleaning and weather elements. Laminating window film will stop water and dirt from collecting in the holes preserving visibility. Lamination will increase the thickness of the print, making it easier to handle.
Convex laminates are used when protection is needed, but you still have to apply the graphic to complex curves. Use on helmets and hard hats, vehicles such as MX bikes, ATV’s and Snowmobiles is recommended. SCS uses only the best laminates available. Arlon 3420 Gloss Laminate that is 10 mm thick is used to suit the most aggressive riders’ needs.
