If you’re thinking about customizing your side-by-side, you’ve probably heard the term “full UTV wrap” tossed around. But what exactly is a full wrap, and is it worth it for your machine?
Let’s break down what a full UTV wrap really means, the pros and cons, and whether it’s the right move for your off-road beast.
What Is a Full UTV Wrap?
A full UTV wrap is a complete vinyl graphics kit that covers the majority — or all — of your machine’s plastic body panels. Unlike partial wraps that only cover the doors or hood, a full wrap includes:
- Front hood
- Fenders
- Doors (if applicable)
- Rear panels
- Roof (optional on some kits)
- Rocker panels
These wraps are printed on premium, high-tack vinyl and precision cut to fit your specific UTV make and model — whether it’s a Polaris, Can-Am, Kawasaki, CF Moto, or another popular platform.
Benefits of a Full UTV Wrap
1. Complete Customization
A full wrap completely transforms your ride’s appearance. Whether you’re looking for a race-ready aesthetic, stealthy matte finish, camo for hunting, or a wild geometric design — the sky’s the limit.
At DeviantInk.com, you can customize your full wrap with your own color palette, logos, and layout before you order.
2. Protection for Plastics
Full wraps aren’t just for looks — they act like a shield. Quality wrap vinyl protects your UTV’s plastics from:
- UV fading
- Rock chips
- Trail scratches
- Sand blasting
- Mud and chemical stains
3. DIY-Friendly Install
Modern wrap kits are designed for home installs. Most come in pre-cut panels for easy alignment. With a heat gun, squeegee, and some patience, you can apply a full wrap over a weekend in your own garage.
4. Reversible and Non-Permanent
Want to try a new look next season? No problem. Full wraps can be peeled off without damaging your OEM plastics. This gives you the flexibility to switch styles or rebrand your machine anytime.
5. Adds Resale Value
Wrapped machines tend to have better-looking plastics after the wrap is removed — helping you retain resale value and make your ride more appealing when it’s time to upgrade.
Potential Drawbacks of Full UTV Wraps
1. Upfront Cost
Full wraps are more expensive than partial kits. A professionally designed and printed full wrap typically runs between $500–$800, not including installation if you go to a shop.
2. Install Takes Time
While it’s DIY-friendly, wrapping an entire machine isn’t a 1-hour job. You’ll need a clean space, time, and patience — especially around curves and tight panel gaps.
3. Wear & Tear in Harsh Use
Even the best vinyl will show signs of wear if you’re constantly riding through brush, rocks, or deep mud. Luckily, reprints are easy — especially through Deviant Ink’s Wrap Reprint Program.
Is a Full UTV Wrap Worth It?
If you want the baddest-looking machine on the trail, plus added protection, personal branding, and the ability to swap styles each season — yes, a full UTV wrap is 100% worth it.
It’s more than just a style upgrade — it’s a statement.
