Rusty RV Wrap: Before, Install & Finished Photos

Finished rusty RV wrap by YSD Graphics in Avon, Indiana

This is one of the most fun wraps we've ever done. Ski's Truck & RV Sales wanted a show-stopping, Cousin Eddie–style RV that looks like it has been sitting in a field for decades: faded blue paint, peeling clear coat, and rust running down every panel. In reality, there's not a spot of rust on it. The entire look is a printed vinyl wrap, designed, printed, and installed by YSD Graphics in Avon, Indiana.

Design & Print

Our designers built every side of the RV to scale, layering rust, faded paint, and grime so the panels line up perfectly across doors, slide-outs, and compartments. Then we printed the panels in house on large format printers.
