This durability is due in part to the high-quality 3M and Avery products we use. ### How much does vehicle lettering cost?

No. When professionally installed and removed, vinyl does not damage a vehicle’s original paint. It can even help protect the paint from minor scratches and UV exposure. ## Design and Customization ### Can I provide my own logo or design, or do you offer graphic design services? Both options are available. You can provide us with your logo and brand colours, or our graphic design team can create an original concept tailored to your brand and vehicle. ### Can I see a mockup of the lettering on my vehicle before installation?

This step allows you to give final approval of the concept before production begins. ### How many design revisions are included in a vehicle lettering project?

Our goal is to make sure you are completely satisfied with the final design before printing. ### What types of vehicles can be lettered or wrapped? At Lettra, we install vehicle lettering and wraps on all types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, cube trucks, trailers, and boats. ## Maintenance ### Can I take a lettered vehicle through an automatic car wash? We recommend avoiding car washes with brushes, as they can prematurely wear the vinyl. Hand washing or a touchless car wash is preferable. ### Can vehicle lettering or a wrap be removed without damaging the vehicle if I sell it or replace vehicles in my fleet? Yes. When removed by professionals, 3M vinyl can be taken off effectively without damaging the vehicle’s original paint. ### How should I maintain a lettered or wrapped vehicle?

Our window tint installations are covered by a warranty against defects such as bubbling or peeling. ### How long does window tint installation take? Window tinting can generally be completed within a few hours, depending on the number of windows being treated. ### Is car window tinting legal in Quebec? Quebec regulations establish the permitted level of light transmission depending on the vehicle window. Our team is familiar with these requirements and can advise you to ensure your installation is compliant. ## Paint Protection Film ### Is paint protection film visible once it is installed on a vehicle? Paint protection film is designed to be discreet and blend seamlessly with your vehicle’s body while providing effective protection. ### Which parts of the vehicle can be covered with paint protection film?
