Slate Truck Wrap Installation — San Jose, California
Your Slate. Your way.
We're big believers in what Slate is doing.
An affordable electric truck, designed to be customized, without making you pay for a bunch of things you never wanted in the first place.
It's a philosophy we can get behind. In fact, it's a big part of why Current Classics exists.
Whether you've already picked out your Slate wrap kit or you're just starting to explore the possibilities, we're here to help make it yours.
Independent installation. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Slate Auto.
Same cars.
Different stories.
01 / A shared philosophy
A different truck deserves a different kind of wrap shop.
Slate is doing something pretty interesting. Instead of treating automotive customization as an expensive aftermarket luxury, they're building it right into the ownership experience.
We love that.
And we think getting your Slate wrapped should be just as straightforward.
At Current Classics, we don't sell predetermined installation packages. We charge for the time and materials your project actually requires.
Want us to install your complete wrap kit? Absolutely.
Just want a few panels or decals installed? That's fine too.
Already bought your kit? Bring it in. Need help choosing or ordering one? We can help with that.
Want to learn a little about the process so you can tackle future projects yourself? We're happy to talk about that too.
Your truck. Your budget. Your call.
02 / Straightforward pricing
One hourly rate. Whatever you have in mind.
+ materials. No minimum project size.
Pay for the work. Not the badge.
That's our published labor rate.
No arbitrary pricing tiers. No premium because you're driving something new or interesting. No pressure to commit to more work than you actually want.
We'll discuss your project, look at the kit and what's involved, and provide an estimate before getting started.
And if you have a particular budget in mind, let's talk about what we can accomplish within it.
We can help with:
- Full wrap kits: A complete color transformation using Slate-compatible materials.
- Partial wraps: Selected panels, accents, roof treatments, and other available kit options.
- Graphics and decals: Smaller details that give your Slate its own personality.
- Wrap changes and replacement: Discuss replacing individual sections or changing your look down the road.
- Hands-on guidance: Interested in learning the process? We can discuss working together on an appropriate project.
We can handle the work from start to finish. Getting involved yourself is always an option, never a requirement.
03 / Start with the right materials
Built to be wrapped. Not every vinyl is built for Slate.
One of the interesting things about the Slate Truck is that it uses composite exterior panels rather than conventional painted bodywork.
Slate has developed wrap films specifically for those surfaces, including pre-cut kits designed to simplify installation.
That matters.
Conventional automotive vinyl isn't necessarily compatible with Slate's materials, so we'll start by making sure we're using an appropriate product rather than assuming any film will work.
Already have an official Slate kit? Great.
Still deciding between colors, finishes, and coverage options? Let's talk through them.
You can also explore available designs and materials directly through Slate's official wrap marketplace. Slate explains material compatibility in its official wrapping FAQ.
04 / Why we're excited about Slate
More say in what you drive.
Current Classics started with a pretty simple idea: a car doesn't have to be expensive, exotic, or even particularly special to be worth making your own.
The Slate Truck takes that thinking a step further.
It's practical transportation without a lot of unnecessary extras. It invites owners to customize it. And it embraces the idea that what you want from your vehicle might change over time.
That's refreshing.
We think people should have more control over what they drive, how it looks, and how much they spend making it their own.
That's exactly the kind of automotive culture we want to be part of.

Frequently asked questions
01How much does it cost to install a Slate Truck wrap?
Our labor rate is $75 per hour, plus any applicable materials and supplies. The total depends on the kit, coverage, preparation, and installation time. We'll discuss the scope and provide an estimate before starting.
02Can I buy my own Slate wrap kit?
Absolutely. We're happy to work with customer-supplied Slate-compatible wrap kits. If you haven't purchased yours yet, we can help you explore the options and arrange the materials.
03Can you install just a partial wrap or decals?
Yes. There's no minimum project size. We're happy to discuss everything from individual decals and accents to a complete exterior wrap.
04Can you teach me how to wrap my Slate?
We're open to it! If you'd like to understand the installation process or participate in a suitable project, let's talk about how that could work. And if you'd rather leave everything to us, that's perfectly fine too.
05Can I use regular automotive vinyl on my Slate?
Not necessarily. Slate's composite body panels require compatible adhesive materials. Slate has developed its own films for this purpose, and we'll review material compatibility before agreeing to an installation.
06Are you affiliated with Slate Auto?
No. Current Classics is an independent automotive wrapping and customization business. We're enthusiasts of the vehicle and its philosophy, but we're not affiliated with or endorsed by Slate Auto.
07I haven't received my Slate yet. Can we start planning?
Of course. If you've ordered a Slate or are considering one, get in touch. We can discuss your ideas, available kits, and potential installation arrangements as vehicles begin arriving.
