Case Study
Vashon Ranger R7
When Vashon Aircraft introduced the Ranger R7 LSA — a rugged, Continental-powered trainer with a price tag under $100,000 — weight was a major design consideration. Paint was too heavy, so Vashon turned to Wicked Wraps for a solution.
The Challenge:
Create an aviation-safe livery that:
- Looked as good as paint (or better)
- Was significantly lighter
- Reflected the Pacific Northwest’s natural beauty
Our Solution:
We designed and applied a custom vinyl wrap featuring nature-inspired graphics — volcanic peaks, lush forests, and flowing rivers — that echoed the Ranger’s home in Washington state.
The Result:
- Maintained performance within the 1,320 lb takeoff weight limit
- Delivered an eye-catching, distinctive look for demo and customer aircraft
- Enabled Vashon to easily update liveries without lengthy repaint schedules

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to frequently asked questions about our aircraft wraps.
How long does a vinyl aircraft wrap last?
A professionally installed vinyl aircraft wrap typically lasts 5–7 years with proper maintenance. Using aviation-grade films helps protect the aircraft’s surface from UV, weather, and wear, keeping your design vibrant for years.
Is it safe to put vinyl wraps on airplanes?
Yes. We use FAA-friendly, aviation-grade vinyl wraps engineered for high speeds, rivets, and extreme conditions. Our installation process ensures aerodynamic performance and compliance with aircraft safety standards.
How much weight does a vinyl wrap add compared to aircraft paint?
Vinyl wraps are much lighter than traditional aircraft paint, which is why they are popular for light-sport aircraft and weight-sensitive planes. In many cases, wrapping can save several pounds over a full paint job.
Can airplane wraps be removed or changed later?
Yes — aircraft vinyl wraps are fully removable. This makes it easy to update branding, change liveries, or restore the original finish without damage to the surface.
Do you offer custom designs?
Yes, we offer custom aircraft wrap designs tailored to your preferences and branding. Our team of designers will work closely with you to create a unique and eye-catching design.
