Some people fish for the weekend. Others build their lifestyle around it. For this boat owner, fishing isn't limited to one lake, one season, or even one state. Whether he's casting lines in local waters or heading south to Florida, time on the water is a major part of his life. So when it came time to customize his tuna boat, he wanted something that reflected that passion. Our team at Amped Up Graphics brought his vision to life with a custom fishing boat wrap featuring tun

When your business is on wheels, your trailer isn't just where you work. It's how customers find you. For food vendors, festivals and farmers markets are some of the best opportunities to get in front of new customers. But when you're surrounded by dozens of other vendors, standing out isn't optional. Your trailer needs to catch attention, communicate your brand, and give people a reason to come see what you're serving. That's exactly what Bee's Pizza needed. With a busy farm

Some vehicles are built to blend in. This Jeep was never going to be one of them. When a client wanted to transform their Jeep into something completely unexpected, we brought together a bold matte pink color change, custom Coca-Cola-inspired graphics, and specialty embossed detailing to create a vehicle that stands out from every angle. But this project wasn't just a milestone for the Jeep's owner. It was a pretty big one for our team, too. A Bold Color Change With a Whole L

There's a reason racing stripes and Mustangs have always belonged together. They're bold. They're unmistakable. And they instantly give a muscle car a little more attitude. But that doesn't mean yours has to look like every factory stripe package on the road. When this Ford Mustang owner came to Amped Up Graphics, they wanted to preserve that classic muscle-car styling while adding just enough customization to make the finished look their own. The result was factory-inspired,

You found the graphics. You ordered them. They showed up at your door. Now comes the part where one wrong move can ruin the whole thing. That's exactly why this client brought their Northforge graphics to Amped Up Graphics. The graphics had already been purchased from an out-of-state supplier, but rather than attempting the installation themselves, they wanted an experienced team to make sure the final result looked the way it was supposed to. And yes—we can absolutely do tha

Your vehicle doesn't have to advertise a business to say something about you. Sometimes, it can advertise what you love. For this Jeep owner, that meant bringing one of her favorite gaming worlds out of the screen and onto her vehicle with a custom hood wrap inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. And this wasn't going to be just a logo or a small character decal. She wanted a piece of art. From Hyrule to the Hood The client came to us with a specific vision: a v

Not every custom motorcycle needs a dramatic transformation. Sometimes, it's the smallest details that completely change the way a bike looks. For this Harley-Davidson, our client wanted something subtle, refined, and completely custom. Instead of covering the bike with large graphics, we used dark satin grey vinyl pinstriping, carefully laid by hand to accentuate the natural lines of the motorcycle. The result is understated from a distance—and seriously impressive when you

Who says wraps are only for cars and trucks? When this client wanted to give their golf cart a completely different personality, they came to us with one request: turtles. From there, our design team dove into the concept and created a custom aquatic theme that transformed an ordinary golf cart into something completely one-of-a-kind. Starting With the Turtle The hood became the centerpiece of the entire design. We created a vibrant underwater scene featuring a large turtle a

Before a customer ever walks through your doors, your storefront is already speaking for your business. For Power Dental, preparing their brand-new office location meant making sure patients could easily find them while creating a professional first impression from the moment they arrived. Our team helped bring their new space to life with custom door and window graphics designed to make the Power Dental brand clear, recognizable, and welcoming. Because when you’re opening a

Trust begins long before the first conversation. For home care providers, families often form their first impression before a caregiver ever walks through the front door. Every visit starts in the driveway, making a company vehicle more than transportation—it's an extension of the care, professionalism, and trust your organization provides. That's why Happy Hearts Home Care partnered with Amped Up Graphics to brand two of their company vehicles with clean, professional graphi

A strong brand shouldn't stop at your front door. It should travel with you. When the McHenry Public Library added a new van to its fleet, they saw an opportunity to do more than simply remove old graphics. At the same time, the library was introducing a fresh new library card design that represented the next chapter of their brand. Rather than letting the vehicle look disconnected from that new identity, they wanted the van to become an extension of it. The goal was simple:

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
