Ford to Offer Graphics Wraps for F-Series and Ranger Pickups

[hotwheels]

starting in 2010, Ford is partnering with Original Wraps to offer custom vinyl exterior graphics for the Ranger, F-150 and Super Duty pickups trucks. The graphics, which are similar to the 'digital mud' decals already offered for the 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, feature a thin, photo quality protective membrane that adheres to body paint and helps protect it from occasional nicks and scratches without voiding a truck's warranty. They're expected to cover small portions of the truck to full body panels.

There are a few caveats that buyers should be aware of before putting the wraps on their trucks, according a FAQ page that Ford has published for the new Fiesta compact car. Owners with wrapped vehicles should avoid car washes that use brushes or high pressure nozzles. Hand washing is recommended over automated washes. Wax shouldn't be applied to the stickers either. When cared for properly, the graphics are designed to last anywhere from 3 to 5 years.
