Wrap, Tint, PPF & Detailing Studio Signage
Shops that wrap, tint or polish cars aren’t just selling vehicle enhancement — they’re selling trust with paint. Customers judge quality within seconds of entering a workshop. Signage, wall branding and pricing displays must show confidence, detail and precision, just like the finish you put on the vehicle.
We work with wrap studios, tint shops, PPF applicators and professional detailers to build branding and signage that matches the standard of work happening inside the bay.
Premium branding built by people who understand the craft, the tools, and the workflow.

Why Choose
Signage works
People buy detailing and wrap work based on feel.
They’re looking for polish, craftsmanship, care — not just price.
A studio with bare walls and handwritten pricing boards feels budget.
A studio with clean branding, spec boards and colour wall samples feels expert.
We speak this language because we’ve lived it.
We know what it’s like to hold a squeegee and chase a bubble under 3M 2080.
We know what it’s like to polish compound haze under LED strips.
We know what it’s like when a customer thinks a PPF edge should be invisible like magic.
Signage for this industry needs to do three things:
Build trust instantly
Explain value visually
Look as premium as the work being sold
Why studios choose Signage Works:
Pricing boards that reduce customer hesitation
Colour, film & finish displays that upsell by touch + sight
Reception area branding that feels modern, clean and technical
Wall graphics engineered to survive alcohol wipes & degreaser spray
Hidden-edge PPF photography displays for customer education
Swatch wall panels that help clients choose finish confidently
Bay signage that separates tint, wrap, prep & ceramic stages
Fast repeat ordering for packages, promos & pricing updates
A good studio doesn’t just wrap cars —it wraps the experience in confidence.
And signage is the first part of that wrap.
How we Work
We work alongside shop owners who are hands-on — heat gun in one hand, phone in the other. Most installs can be scheduled after hours or between vehicle turnover to avoid bay downtime.

Recent Projects
Materials in your Sector
Wrap/tint studios are environments of solvent smell, razor blades, clay bars and microfibre. Surfaces get wiped with IPA hourly. Branding needs to survive it.
We spec materials to the visual feel of the shop.
PVC Foamboard / Palight
Lightweight, affordable and suitable for interior signage, menus, POS displays and event boards. PVC foamboard offers a clean surface for print while keeping production cost-efficient. Best for medium-term indoor branding or changeable campaigns.
High-Tack Adhesive Vinyl
Engineered for difficult surfaces where standard vinyl fails to bond. High-tack adhesive grips textured substrates such as raw ACM, powder-coated metal, block walls and containers. Ideal for construction, exterior cladding, and industrial applications.
Cast Vinyl (with laminate)
A premium conformable vinyl designed for curves, edges and long-term outdoor use. When laminated, it resists UV fade, stone chips and abrasion, making it the best choice for high-wear surfaces such as vehicle wraps, trailers and marine environments.
Frosted Etch Film
Translucent privacy film that filters light while reducing visibility through glass. Commonly used for offices, meeting rooms and reception spaces to provide privacy and a professional aesthetic. Can be printed or cut for branding elements and decorative applications.
Polymeric / Calendered Vinyl
A cost-effective vinyl solution for flat surfaces and shorter-term installations. Suitable for interior graphics, promotional campaigns and general branding where lifespan expectations are moderate. Perfect for signage that needs impact without premium durability.
ACM Panels (Aluminium Composite Material)
ACM is a rigid, lightweight panel designed for long-term exterior signage. It holds colour well, resists moisture and UV exposure, and remains stable in high wind and temperature variation. Ideal for building fascias, site boards and durable external branding where longevity matters.
Pricing Guidance
Studio signage investment depends on how premium the experience needs to feel.
A basic setup may include a reception wall logo + pricing board, while a full professional studio build might include bay separation signage, swatch displays, finish boards, window branding, technical education panels, ceramic coating process graphics and photography walls.
Typical investment ranges:
Reception identity signage: $650–$4,500+
Pricing + option boards: $550–$2,800+
Bay wall branding: $850–$6,500+
Full studio branding rollout: $6,200–$34,000+
The better the environment feels, the easier upsells become.
Well-presented shops close ceramic upgrades, track pack PPF and colour-shift wraps more easily — because premium presentation communicates premium skill.
Common Questions
Will signage survive IPA wipe-downs & degreaser?
Yes — we specify laminated surfaces and solvent-resistant coatings for bay areas where wipe-downs are constant.
Can you build colour/film swatch display boards?
Absolutely — ACM swatch panels & finish boards help customers choose faster and reduce “I need to think about it” hesitations.
Do you understand wrap, tint & PPF install challenges?
Yes — from adhesive tack behaviour to stretch limits, we know the environment. We brand studios like practitioners, not general vendors.
Can signage help increase upsell rate?
Yes — visual pricing + process boards increase package take-rate because customers understand options clearly and without intimidation.
Do you install outside of operating hours?
Yes — we schedule installs evenings or between vehicle turnover so your bays stay productive.
Can you help visually explain ceramic/PPF benefits?
Absolutely — we produce education panels that reduce explanation time and build perceived value instantly.
