Vehicle Wraps in Davis, CA
· Updated
Davis is about a 20-minute run east on Interstate 80, and it is exactly the kind of place a wrap shop should be paying attention to — a university town that is EV-dense, design-literate, and full of people who research everything before they buy. Art Printing Vehicle Wraps is a Sacramento wrap and graphics studio at 5051 College Oak Dr Suite C, a straight shot from downtown Davis, UC Davis, and the Mace Boulevard and Richards Boulevard exits. Full color-change wraps start around $2,500, priced by your car's size, not its badge.
Color changes, fleet graphics, Tesla and EV wraps, lettering, and tint — all installed in-house. For the full finish-and-pricing rundown, see our Sacramento vehicle wraps overview.

A town that compares specs — so we win on the price you can see
Davis runs on bikes, EVs, and people who read the fine print. It is one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the country and one of the most EV-adopting, and the population skews toward students, faculty, and researchers who do their homework before spending a dollar. For a crowd like that, the most persuasive thing a wrap shop can do is simple: publish the price. We post starting prices by size, name the film on your invoice, and give you a real date — no call-for-quote runaround.
We are about 20 minutes east of Davis on I-80 — close enough that dropping the car on the way into Sacramento and grabbing it on the way home is easy. The work gets handled by a team that only does this.
Color-change wraps for Davis drivers
Full color-change wraps — matte, satin, gloss, chrome, color-shift — let you change the look without committing to paint. It is reversible and paint-safe: the wrap protects the factory finish underneath, and you can take it back to stock whenever you want. That reversibility is why a lot of Davis drivers wrap a leased car, or a student's first car that will get sold on in a few years, instead of repainting it.
Tesla & EV wraps — fair, transparent pricing in a town full of EVs
Davis is wall-to-wall EVs, and the recurring grievance is the flat local quote — the same price for a Model 3 and a Model X even though they are very different sizes. We price by size, so a Model 3 is quoted like a mid-size sedan and a Model X like a large SUV. Color change to stand out from every other EV in the campus lot, or a stealth finish over soft EV paint that also shields it from the long Central Valley sun. Per-model pricing lives on our Davis Tesla wrap page.
Fleet wraps for Davis businesses
Fleet and commercial wraps give a Davis business consistent branding across every vehicle — the wrap is what makes someone remember your name and look you up later. From ag-tech and research spinoffs to food vendors, mobile detailers, and campus service vans, we color-match across the fleet, install in-house for single-vendor accountability, and schedule in waves so you are never short the whole fleet at once.
Fair, transparent pricing
Here is the number most shops won't put on a page. Starting prices by size; final cost depends on coverage, finish, design, and body type.
| Service | Starts at | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Full color-change wrap (compact / sedan) | From $2,500 | Matte, satin, or gloss vinyl over full body |
| Full color-change wrap (SUV / truck) | From $3,200 | Larger surface, more film and labor |
| Full printed commercial wrap | From $3,000 | Custom graphics: design, print, install |
| Vehicle lettering / partial / decals | From $550 | Name, number, logo — the affordable entry |
Want a sharper number than "from"? Use our free design preview to see a finish on your exact car and get a real estimate in minutes — no signup. It is a visualizer, not a print file: the on-screen mockup won't capture how the film behaves in person, so our Sacramento install team makes every wrap production-ready on real die-lines.
Trust band — what backs the work
- Premium film, named on your invoice. Premium cast vinyl — not unbranded vinyl that fades and fights you on removal.
- A real warranty. Every install carries a 60-day workmanship warranty on our craftsmanship, and the 3M™ Wrap Film Series 2080 and Avery Dennison® Supreme Wrapping™ Film we use are rated by the manufacturer for up to 7 years. On sound factory paint, that film also comes off clean when removed correctly.
- Our own work, not stock photos. Color-change daily drivers, wrapped Teslas, and service fleets — vehicles that left our bay.
- A real date, not a backlog. A single wrap turns around in a few business days once your design is approved.
Davis and the surrounding area
Davis sits in Yolo County at the western edge of the Sacramento metro, where Interstate 80 runs from the Mace and Richards Boulevard exits east toward West Sacramento and the Capitol. The town's character shapes the work we see: a university population, a strong farm-to-fork food scene, and one of the highest EV-adoption rates in the region put a lot of color-change and paint-protection requests on our bench. A wrap on an EV is one of the most common Davis asks — partly for the look, partly to shield the paint against the summer heat and the open, sun-baked stretch of I-80.
Fleet and storefront graphics
Service businesses and vendors around downtown Davis, 2nd Street, and the Mace corridor — mobile detailing, food trucks, landscaping, ag-tech field crews, and campus-adjacent services — use lettering and partial wraps that read whether the van is parked near the Farmers Market or rolling down Russell Boulevard. From our College Oak Drive shop in Sacramento, Davis is a straight run west on I-80, so install and proofing trips are easy to schedule.
We also wrap for the neighbors: Woodland and Sacramento, plus West Sacramento and the rest of Yolo County. See every metro service area we cover, and what customers say on our reviews page.
