What Makes Chicago Fleet Wraps Different for Silverado/Sierra Installs
GM trucks have a pronounced body sculpting with a high beltline feature line running the length of the bed. This line creates a natural design division that we incorporate into most Silverado/Sierra wrap designs. Graphics above the line typically carry the headline message; below the line carries supporting information or brand pattern.
We use only Avery Dennison MPI 1105 and 3M IJ180-CV3 cast vinyl — rated 5–7 years outdoor with proper care. Our HP Latex printers deliver Pantone-matched output on every job. Every installation carries a 2-year workmanship warranty covering lifting, bubbling, and edge peeling.
Frequently Asked Questions — Chevy Silverado / GMC Sierra Wraps Chicago
How much does a Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra wrap cost?
A Silverado or Sierra full wrap in Chicago starts at $3,200 for 1500 series. The 2500HD and 3500HD with their wider bodies and additional cab options run $3,400–$4,000. All pricing includes design, cast vinyl, installation, and free pickup from your location.
What does a wrapped Silverado look like compared to a Transit van?
A wrapped Silverado has a different visual presence than a van. The lower profile and open bed mean less graphic canvas — but the aggressive truck proportions can make for a more bold, dynamic-looking wrap. Many contractors prefer a wrapped pickup over a van because it projects a more hands-on, capable brand image.
Can you wrap just the doors and tailgate of a Silverado?
Yes — door and tailgate lettering packages start at $650. Door graphics on both sides plus a tailgate graphic is the most common entry-level package for pickup trucks. It covers the highest-visibility surfaces at a fraction of the full wrap cost.
Do you wrap the bed of a Silverado?
Typically no — the truck bed is rarely wrapped because it receives heavy abuse from cargo, and wrap on the bed floor fails quickly. We focus on the cab, doors, rear quarters, and tailgate for maximum visibility with minimum wear exposure.

Chicago Fleet Wraps uses only two vinyl systems on commercial vehicle installs. Avery Dennison MPI 1105 is our primary fleet material — a conformable cast film rated 5–7 years outdoor with EZ RS adhesive that removes cleanly without damaging factory paint. 3M IJ180-CV3 is the other option — equally durable with Comply air-release technology that eliminates installation bubbles on smooth surfaces.
Neither of these is a cheap material. At $9.75/sqft installed, you are paying for films that outlast the competition by 3–5 years in real-world Chicago conditions — road salt, freeze-thaw cycles, UV exposure, and highway vibration. We have never had a verified paint damage claim in 10+ years of commercial installation. That record is only possible with premium cast vinyl applied correctly.
Every wrap receives DOL 1360 gloss overlaminate — a clear protective layer that adds UV protection, scratch resistance, and depth to the finished graphics. Without overlaminate, printed vinyl fades significantly faster under Chicago sun. We never skip this step on commercial installations.

The Free Fleet Pickup Difference
Most wrap shops expect you to bring your vehicles to them. For a commercial operation running multiple vans, that means pulling vehicles off route, arranging driver logistics, and losing productive hours getting to and from a shop on Chicago's northwest side.
Chicago Fleet Wraps eliminates that friction entirely. We pick up from your yard, your lot, or your business location anywhere in Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, Will, or McHenry County — no additional charge, no mileage fee. Your drivers stay on route. Your operation keeps moving. We handle the logistics of getting your vehicles through our 4711 N Lamon Ave facility and back to you.
For fleet programs, we phase pickups and returns so you never have more than a fraction of your fleet out of service simultaneously. A 10-vehicle fleet program typically runs with 2–3 vehicles in our shop at any time while the other 7–8 stay on the road.
After the Wrap — Care, Warranty, and Reorders
Every wrap comes with a 2-year workmanship warranty covering lifting, bubbling, edge peeling, and installation defects. This is separate from the manufacturer vinyl warranty — Avery Dennison and 3M both provide their own film performance warranties of 5–7 years for outdoor use.
To maximize wrap life: hand wash with mild soap and water, avoid automated brush car washes (they scratch and lift edges), keep pressure washers below 1,200 PSI and at least 12 inches from panel edges, and treat bird droppings and tree sap immediately — acidic compounds etch into vinyl if left for days.
When you add vehicles to your fleet months or years later, your brand files are permanently on file with us. We never discard fleet artwork. Reorders go into production faster because design approval is already done — we simply adapt your existing brand standard to the new vehicle template and submit for your approval before cutting a single sheet of vinyl.
