Adding a new truck to your fleet should strengthen your brand—not make it look inconsistent. When Albert Wagner & Son purchased a new truck, they didn’t need a new design. They needed it to look like it had always been part of the fleet. That meant matching the existing lettering, layout, spacing, and overall appearance with complete accuracy so customers would never know the truck had been added later. Sometimes, the best design work is the kind nobody notices. Consistency B

When you’re serving great food, the last thing you want is for customers to walk right past your trailer. That was the challenge Bistro Italiano brought to Amped Up Graphics. Their trailer already served its purpose, but visually, it blended into the background. They wanted something that would stop people in their tracks, spark curiosity, and make their trailer easy to spot from across a busy event or festival. The goal wasn’t simply to change the color. It was to make the t

The best vehicle wraps don’t just promote a business. They communicate what that business stands for. When Olson Auto Body came to Amped Up Graphics, they wanted their tow truck to do more than advertise their company. They wanted it to reflect their appreciation for the men and women who have served our country while creating a design that would leave a lasting impression everywhere the truck traveled. The result was a custom patriotic tow truck wrap that blends bold brandin

If we expect our clients to stand out…We have to lead by example. At Amped Up Graphics, we spend every day helping businesses transform their vehicles into rolling advertisements. We tell our clients that their fleet should be working even when it’s parked, that first impressions build trust, and that strong branding gets remembered. So eventually, we looked at our own truck and asked ourselves a simple question: Does this still represent who we are? The answer was no. Our Br

Not every project starts with a blank canvas. Sometimes it starts with bringing an old one back to life. When this Key Lime food trailer arrived at Amped Up Graphics, it had seen better days. Years of use had taken their toll, and it was clear the trailer needed more than a few new graphics. The owner wasn’t looking for a quick refresh—they wanted a complete transformation that would give their business the eye-catching presence it deserved. That’s exactly what we set out to

Some custom projects begin with a finished design. Others begin with a single idea and evolve into something far more creative. When the owner of this Vaquero motorcycle came to Amped Up Graphics, the original request was straightforward: incorporate a custom logo onto the fuel tank. But rather than placing the logo by itself, we saw an opportunity to create something that looked intentionally designed for the motorcycle instead of simply applied to it. The finished piece bec

The best custom vehicle wraps don’t start with a template. They start with a story. When the owner of this Jeep came to Amped Up Graphics, they didn’t arrive with stock artwork or a design pulled from the internet. Instead, they brought something far more meaningful—photographs they had personally captured during a missile launch and a custom Navy logo they wanted incorporated into the build. The goal wasn’t simply to decorate the vehicle. It was to preserve a personal experi

Some vehicle wraps advertise a business. Others celebrate something much bigger. When a client came to Amped Up Graphics looking to commemorate the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States, they wanted more than a custom wrap—they wanted a rolling tribute that reflected both their patriotism and the significance of this historic milestone. The vision was simple yet ambitious: transform a plain white van into a vehicle that honored America’s history while making an unfo

Every racer has a number. The best racers have an identity. When a young driver and their family came to Amped Up Graphics, they weren’t looking to replace a racing helmet—they wanted to make it unmistakably theirs. The goal was to create a custom design that would stand out under the lights, represent the driver’s team, and add a personal touch that made the helmet just as memorable as the car on the track. Because in motorsports, every detail matters. More Than Safety Gear

Some projects start with a logo placement. Others start with a blank canvas and a vision that doesn’t fit into any template. When Smallman Tools came to Amped Up Graphics, they weren’t looking for a standard vehicle wrap. They wanted something completely unique—something that reflected their personality, their brand, and their style while making a statement everywhere the vehicle traveled. The idea centered around a custom digital camouflage theme, but the project quickly evo

Some vehicle wraps are designed to advertise a business. Others are designed to tell a story. When D&L Towing approached us about their latest heavy-duty tow rig, they had a vision that went beyond branding and aesthetics. They wanted to create a rolling tribute that honored the men and women who serve their communities every day as firefighters and law enforcement officers. The result would become one of the most meaningful projects we’ve had the opportunity to bring to life

Sometimes the most effective branding isn’t the loudest. While full wraps and large-scale graphics certainly have their place, a clean and professional design can often make just as strong an impression. That was the goal behind a recent project we completed for Pullen Painters, where simplicity and clarity became the foundation of the entire design. The objective was straightforward: create a professional vehicle graphics package that clearly communicated the company’s brand

Some builds turn heads because of horsepower. Others make a statement before the engine even starts. We recently had the opportunity to transform a Ford Mustang with a set of custom tattoo-style rose graphics designed to blend aggressive automotive styling with artistic detail. This project brought together the sharp body lines of the Mustang and the timeless look of traditional tattoo-inspired artwork to create a build that felt bold, unique, and completely personal. At Ampe

A strong brand doesn’t stop at your logo. It should show up on every truck, every job site, and every mile your business travels. We recently kicked off a new fleet project for Berger Contractors, focused on transforming newer vehicles into a unified look across all their vehicles. Through custom door logo installation and a refined color transition that transformed the top cabs to white, this project was built to improve visibility while creating a consistent identity across

Some vehicles are meant to blend into traffic. Race cars aren’t one of them. We recently had the opportunity to transform a # 72 race car with a full custom wrap designed to bring serious energy to the track. Featuring a bold electric blue color scheme, custom hood branding, and large racing numbers, this build was designed for one thing: getting noticed. Because if you’re flying around the track at speed, your graphics should hit just as hard. The result? A high-impact race

Not every branding project needs a full wrap to make an impact. Sometimes the right placement makes all the difference. We recently worked with Olson Auto Body to add custom logo graphics to the bottom of a headache rack on one of their towing trucks. It may seem like a small addition, but strategic vehicle branding turns overlooked spaces into opportunities to increase visibility and strengthen your company’s presence on the road. Because every inch of your vehicle can work

Big impact doesn’t always require a full wrap. Sometimes it comes down to getting the details exactly right. We recently worked with G n Company to add custom graphics to the doors and tailgate of their dump truck, creating a clean, professional look that strengthened their brand presence while keeping the factory appearance intact. At first glance, it may seem like a simple graphics install—but projects like this prove that precision matters. Because when your work vehicles

When it comes to growing a business, every mile matters. Your work vehicle shouldn’t just get you from job to job—it should be working overtime for your brand. That’s exactly what we helped accomplish for Nick’s Floor n More with a custom half-vehicle wrap designed to increase visibility, strengthen branding, and turn a work van into a rolling advertisement. For this project, our team designed and installed a professional half wrap that delivers the perfect balance between cl

When Auto Villa made the move to a new location, there was one thing that couldn’t get left behind—their brand presence. Moving your business is already a massive undertaking. The last thing you need is signage delays, outdated branding, or customers wondering where you went. That’s where we came in. Our team helped Auto Villa make a smooth transition by creating professional mockups, removing their existing signage, bringing it back to the shop, and completely reapplying upd

Some projects are about getting noticed. Others mean something deeper. This Chevy truck project was one of those builds. The goal wasn’t simply to add graphics—it was to create something personal. We worked with the owner to design and install custom copper graphics featuring meaningful details on the back window and pillars as a tribute to his children. Every element was designed with purpose, turning this truck into more than a vehicle—it became a rolling piece of his story
