Andrew great video about Wrap Artist they rock. Jamie and his crew were top notch and don’t mess around they had us rolling in 2.5 days and it was pouring rain when we pulled in. The bus had to sit overnight to dry out. Jamie helped with design and colors to make sure it all went well together. We really loved the way he does buisness and would recommend him to anyone. You nailed it also when you said to hurry up before tours start if you want a wrap. With his long term relationships with tour companies he has to take care of them when they call as I would if it were my buisness. Jamie you rock and hope to see you guys this winter for a car and trailer wrap.
I met Jamie in 2017 up at the 3M training facility and had him train me for a few days. Definitely one of the coolest guys in the industry and I'm so glad I had the chance to work with him!
Thanks Andrew; great video! Jamie looks like an enthusiastic person to work with. You can tell he loves his “work”. Fun to see a successful business that employs talented people!!
I’ve been using Wrap artist for years. Absolutely the best in the business! No one can compete with their professionalism. I’ll never use anyone else. He always goes above and beyond.
I already knew possibilities were endless when it comes to wrap your vehicle in order to completely change its look. After watching this video and seeing they’ve done around the entire building including walls, windows, furniture, etc the idea of endless was expanded by a lot. Amaaazing job done this guys, can’t put in words how cool that is 🙌👏✌️👍
What a great guy, totally into giving a great service and giving customers exactly what they want,....Hats off Mr Steele your content always continues to impress !!
Hi Andrew. Thank you for the great video!! This is definitely in the category of "I had no clue how this was done". Thank you for the small glimpse of the inside!
Andrew, Shadow Graphix (27:52-29:15 in video), Indianapolis Indiana. My cousins, Daren & Mary Merkle wrap all the racecars & haulers. They would give you some more content too.
Sir,really injoy looking n learning about the rv world in depth...but my love is for people...you are absolutly amazing on finding the greatest laid back folk...masters of so many different avenues...this guy is the best...thanks Andrew..💜🤗
These dudes have to have lots of patience! I was in the cut vinyl sign biz for years. I skipped on the wrap gig. Way too stressful and pressure cooker for me. Lots of stress. Kills you too when a customer comes in and you spend hours with a guy that inevitably gets his wife and business partners involved. It can take days for people to make up their mind! Here’s the kicker. After you spend all this time and do up all these proofs etc, the guy says”ok we will think about it”. Aggravating as hell! I tried charging up front to take all this time that could be lost and that didn’t fly in the Deep South. I just tapped out and kept it all simple with cut vinyl. Way less stress. And money was good still without the stress. I applaud these guys. It takes a lot to streamline an operation like this. It’s a true art that the public many times does not realize what’s involved! You basically have to take control of the customer and the job and that is an art in itself to do without upsetting the client. These guys got a system and got it going on!
Jamie is a cool , likable guy for sure. He is looking for satisfaction and that is smart. Most people think money brings satisfaction but not often in my opinion.
Great content, our company started wrapping our box trucks back in 99', at that time the product was all from 3m and the back of our trailers/box trucks had Illuminite reflective tape that would light up when lights would hit it (looked really cool, one of our drivers was even given a ticket for the wrap/reflectivity when it first came out). Most of our 53' trailers will last about 3 years. You and Sadie would look great custom wrapped and branded on a "RVing with Andrew Steele" 2001-2004 Prevost XL, marketing you're "brand" w/ proper activation is what its all about. On a 53' trailer our wraps for our company cost us anywhere from $9K to $18K (depending on complexity) it is expensive but it is free advertising. Good video
20:05 may I suggest that they invest in fall arresting gear (body harness with D clip) that can attach to the ceiling I-beams and stop them from falling off the scaffolding. At least side and rear rails. Thanks
Cool video and super interesting. Nice to see Scott Kepple and him work together too as I knew him from back in my Jacksonville days, he does incredible designs on car wraps.
Awesome video very interesting. Jamie seems like a great guy very talented. Would have loved to have seen a little more install of the vinyl. 👍👍 Andrew
Hands down one of the best interviews you've done so far thank you very much... and by the way that's a cool dude right there... I've seen his work over and over again..3✌🏼✌🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🏁🏁
I’ve driving a few of those buses on the wall, that Miley Cyrus bus I drove was the most photographed bus at the time. I could never hide that bus anywhere... warp artist is the best! I’ve witnessed them coming out on tour to fix a wrap.
So much information I've been searcing for, for my 1989 37' Coach. Been hot rodding the drivetrain and have it running like a scalded dog and getting 14 MPG now. I have yet to see a new one I'd replace this one with. It just needs a mokeover look. It was top of the line in it's day, but the paint is so faded. I just learned I could do a 2 color wrap and then stripe it. The money is not the biggest deterrent. It's the condition of the Old Girls exterior. Great Video.
I love this..I like to wrap mostly cars/trucks for my business. I have a wrap project coming this Friday on a waaaay smaller scale ha ha. I'd like to Wrap my Motorhome but compared to those Busses I have the windows and the arms and way more stuff bolted on the sides compared to the smooth sides of the buses in the video. A lot more work with the Motorhomes. I love his shop too, very nice! Awesome video!
Great videos. If wrap over a window, can you still see through it ? On Biden bus , it looked like all the windows were covered, other than the front of course.
Andrew. I just watched your video. What is your honest impression of these guys and the quality of their work? I am considering getting it done. We live in Nashville so it would be very convenient. Thanks!
It actually protects the paint job. When they take the vinyl off years later, the paint will be in the same condition it was the day it was installed (with no oxidation).
Actually you can have a brand new car, say a super car wrapped with a clear wrap that will be there to just protect the paint so your paint never gets dinged. You know when people open the car door into yours and stuff. The wrap might get damaged, but generally protects the paint job. Unless your in a like an accident and the car is dented.
Andrew Kavanagh if and when it is time for me to buy i’m definitely going to think about it for sure!! Hey if they pay for the wrap and the removal every time.. it could actually pay for our adventure!!
So they create the designs then run it through those machines and place cuts on the wall. Well now that clears things up for me. For a second I thought they did things in miniature when I saw that model bus.
YOY know the KOHL’S STORES ? Well there was KOHLS supermarkets in WISCONSIN , A&P bought KOHLS, ran them for somewhile, then CLOSED them but there was 1 tractor, a MACK , it was YELLOW & there was 1 trailer, that had some really great graphics, food stuff, , so EVERYTHING was different to what there was in NJ, GROSS & HECHT , all vehicles were RED & graphics for A&P were different, but NOBODY wanted to drive that YELLOW , or pull that trailer, so after about a year it was painted , graphics replaced , now the GERMAN guy ruined A&P. Cher’s 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I wonder how much it would run for about a 40' fiberglass motorhome to have the old cracked, faded stripes removed and just replaced similar to stock. I'm really interested in something like that.
I did vehicle graphics for years. You will have a hard time finding anyone to do the removal. Too time. Consuming and aggravating. Be careful. If you find someone that agrees to do it , he’s probably not experienced and is looking for any work. It’s easy to gouge the fiberglass or paint removing. There’s a lot more to this trade than meets the eye. I just made it look easy. 32yrs
Bloody hell Andrew,You are a busy lad churning these vlogs out,And as for politics and religion they are the 2 things that start wars,And both not worth time thinking about Enjoy life and make money doing what you like.And you are one cool guy
This was a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes. Jamie seems like a laid back dude with integrity. I'd patronize this business in a heartbeat.
Andrew great video about Wrap Artist they rock. Jamie and his crew were top notch and don’t mess around they had us rolling in 2.5 days and it was pouring rain when we pulled in.

This was great! I was chatting with Jamie last night on FB and here you go featuring him in today's video!
Thanks Andrew; great video! Jamie looks like an enthusiastic person to work with. You can tell he loves his “work”. Fun to see a successful business that employs talented people!!
I’ve been using Wrap artist for years. Absolutely the best in the business! No one can compete with their professionalism. I’ll never use anyone else. He always goes above and beyond.
Appreciate your loyalty over the years and all the referrals!

He's seems like a super cool guy and an amazing artist.
These Prevost coaches are some of the most beautiful machines ever made , that solid blue with the stainless steel is so awesome.
What a great guy !!!! The wrapped busses definitely turn your head when you see them going down the road.
Fascinating!! So cool to see how these are done
What a great guy, totally into giving a great service and giving customers exactly what they want,....Hats off Mr Steele your content always continues to impress !!
Somebody is gonna make the money. I'm not mad at this guy for taking the check, feeding his family, and keep folks employed.
Hi Andrew. Thank you for the great video!! This is definitely in the category of "I had no clue how this was done". Thank you for the small glimpse of the inside!
Yes I was in the business and the public always were fascinated. Had no clue like you say
Andrew this is a great interview. You are doing so good finding these little things people think about and wonder about. Please keep up the great work
Great video Andrew, totally cool shop and staff. You find the best content to show all of us.
Great content, Andrew. A very cool, detailed look at an aspect of the industry I didn’t know existed.
What a great guy.We need more honest people like him in this world.
Andrew, Shadow Graphix (27:52-29:15 in video), Indianapolis Indiana. My cousins, Daren & Mary Merkle wrap all the racecars & haulers. They would give you some more content too.

Very educational video. I had no concept of the wrap business before watching this.
Looks like a great business. Good honest people. Perfect example on how to build a successful business. 😎👍
Very interesting and we enjoyed seeing how it's done. Thank you Andrew!
I like that plain bus in his shop...looks sweet!
Jamie is a cool , likable guy for sure. He is looking for satisfaction and that is smart. Most people think money brings satisfaction but not often in my opinion.
Looking good Andrew keep up the great work finding out more adout all the little things costs and where to get them. Another fantastic interview

How much at 22:33
Jamie is the best in the business!
Wow you learn something new everyday!!! So interesting. Thanks Andrew as always, you are awesome 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻
Jammie for President !!
We def. need someone who is comfortable and friendly to both sides and happy to serve all Americans.
I like him I'd love to let him wrap my old bus but we're not at that point yet
I bet he'd make it beautiful.
Great video Andrew thanks for sharing.
20:05 may I suggest that they invest in fall arresting gear (body harness with D clip) that can attach to the ceiling I-beams and stop them from falling off the scaffolding. At least side and rear rails. Thanks
Nice to learn about wrapping a bus. Wrapartist good to know. Thank you for this video. Happy trails!
That was awesome! Thanks for sharing with us, really enjoying your channel.
Cool video and super interesting. Nice to see Scott Kepple and him work together too as I knew him from back in my Jacksonville days, he does incredible designs on car wraps.
Impressive operation! Another great content video. Thanks for the great work.
Now I know how these’ wraps’ are created & applied , first off it takes balls to start , then your work gets more work. Cheers 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Nice video. See a side of a subject one wouldn't think about. Great job Andrew!
I have thought seriously about getting my Cyclone wrapped. I may need to investigate more.
Love to have my Sprinter done by Jamie, Looks like a real deal kind of guy. Thanks Andrew !!
Andrew that was one fantastic video.
Really interesting and informative, thanks for taking the time and effort to show us this.
He is a very talented person
That trike is sick , I'd cruise that down the Galveston seawall bar hopping !
To me this is one of the most interesting of your interviews great job and thank you
Awesome video very interesting. Jamie seems like a great guy very talented. Would have loved to have seen a little more install of the vinyl. 👍👍 Andrew
How much for the model bus? That would look great on my desk
What about the rivits on older Prevost coachs. Love the wraps.
Hands down one of the best interviews you've done so far thank you very much... and by the way that's a cool dude right there... I've seen his work over and over again..3✌🏼✌🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🏁🏁
Thank you for the kind words Gary.
I’ve driving a few of those buses on the wall, that Miley Cyrus bus I drove was the most photographed bus at the time. I could never hide that bus anywhere... warp artist is the best! I’ve witnessed them coming out on tour to fix a wrap.
Nice wrap they did there, truly beautiful work! I love it!👏👏😍
So much information I've been searcing for, for my 1989 37' Coach. Been hot rodding the drivetrain and have it running like a scalded dog and getting 14 MPG now.

I have to say it again...I love that shop! Really shows what they are about! Just Followed on Instagram.
Why would anyone UNSUBSCRIBE because he is wrapping a Bus? It's a freaking business.
"I like big bus and I cannot lie" 😂
🤣🤣
Nice shop, awesome video. Keep teaching me big dog!
Seems like a solid dude....Was that blue bus a wrap? Love that solid color.
That was paint ...Getting ready to wrap it
I love this..I like to wrap mostly cars/trucks for my business. I have a wrap project coming this Friday on a waaaay smaller scale ha ha. I'd like to Wrap my Motorhome but compared to those Busses I have the windows and the arms and way more stuff bolted on the sides compared to the smooth sides of the buses in the video. A lot more work with the Motorhomes.
I love his shop too, very nice! Awesome video!
I love the honesty. Rare.
Great videos. If wrap over a window, can you still see through it ? On Biden bus , it looked like all the windows were covered, other than the front of course.
We out perforated film over the windows. Can’t see in, but from the inside it’s like looking through tinted windows
Great video, Andrew ! . . . Keep up the great work !
I literally watched this whole interview/walkthrough without skipping that's saying a lot cuz my attention span is pretty small.. Good stuff Andrew
Jamie & Jay are legends
Andrew. I just watched your video. What is your honest impression of these guys and the quality of their work? I am considering getting it done. We live in Nashville so it would be very convenient. Thanks!
They are the real deal. the best of the best. I had several friends refer him to me
Ok. Thanks!
Good stuff. Great to see wraps. Does he also do 5th wheels?
Absolutely!
What about using Logo's in the design of a wrap? i.e.. Like the Bar & Shield Logo for Harley Davidson....
This guy is the real deal!
What happens when they take the wrap off does it affect the paint
It actually protects the paint job. When they take the vinyl off years later, the paint will be in the same condition it was the day it was installed (with no oxidation).
Actually you can have a brand new car, say a super car wrapped with a clear wrap that will be there to just protect the paint so your paint never gets dinged. You know when people open the car door into yours and stuff. The wrap might get damaged, but generally protects the paint job. Unless your in a like an accident and the car is dented.
My husband and I were just discussing this very subject what a coinkydink
So they print onto vinyl and then put the vinyl on the bus ?
Exactly!
Yes but it’s not for a novice or faint of heart. Much more difficult to install properly than many would think. It’s not just a “sticker”
I see detail shops putting ceramic coating on wrapped cars. How long would this extend the wrapping?
Great question! I'll look in to that
BEAUTIFUL WORK!
Jamie seems a cool talented guy
Great video !
Amazing work. Thanks for sharing Andrew.
Darn.. when i buy mine I wonder if I can lease it out and advertise things for ppl when we travel across the country?? 🤔
You read my mind! Why am I driving a blank white billboard around?
Andrew Kavanagh if and when it is time for me to buy i’m definitely going to think about it for sure!! Hey if they pay for the wrap and the removal every time.. it could actually pay for our adventure!!
I love this guy!!!
Can you wrap over the painted stripes with clear wrap
Andrew thanks for putting out these awesome videos. Andrew any place in New Jersey that you could recommend for wrapping?
what a cool guy !
Great video very very interesting
Oh ya, great job. You are on a roll.
Andrew does that first bus have a k-5 splitter reductioner?Just curious
Is this all about Prevost nothing else ?
Not in our end. We’ll wrap whatever you have!
Ok, this dude is great guy all the way around!
It's a wrap on that video. Lol. Nice guy great in depth video 👍
So they create the designs then run it through those machines and place cuts on the wall. Well now that clears things up for me. For a second I thought they did things in miniature when I saw that model bus.
Andrew just watching this video today. Question for you , how much would it cost to wrap your coach?
Awesome content your best work yet. Business 101 by the best in his field. Now get back to Arizona so I can get my coach detailed by the best 🤟
SO HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
YOY know the KOHL’S STORES ? Well there was KOHLS supermarkets in WISCONSIN , A&P bought KOHLS, ran them for somewhile, then CLOSED them but there was 1 tractor, a MACK , it was YELLOW & there was 1 trailer, that had some really great graphics, food stuff, , so EVERYTHING was different to what there was in NJ, GROSS & HECHT , all vehicles were RED & graphics for A&P were different, but NOBODY wanted to drive that YELLOW , or pull that trailer, so after about a year it was painted , graphics replaced , now the GERMAN guy ruined A&P.

Enjoy life and make money doing what you like.And you are one cool guy
Wow what a nice shop. Amazing
Very cool shop
If your RV is wrapped, how much does it cost to remove the wrap b/4 rewrapping?
What about washing and using different types of soaps how dose that affect the wrap
No, soap and water no problem. Wrap has clear laminate on it to protect it
No worries Andrew, really enjoyed this video.
