Scott — design and installation
Scott holds degrees in marketing, advertising, and art, and spent more than a decade in those fields producing work for national consumer brands. He works in Illustrator and Photoshop daily, which means corporate vector assets, brand standards, and print-ready files are handled the way a client's marketing team expects.
He is also a certified installer. The person who builds the design is the person who applies it — so decisions about seams, coverage, and panel breaks get made by someone who knows what will actually lay down on the vehicle.
Erica — scope, pricing, and quality
Erica came to wraps from two trades that look unrelated and turn out to be the same trade. She trained classically as a chef and worked her way up through professional kitchens, helping open new restaurants and building menus, then cooked privately in a high-end household. Kitchens teach that preparation decides the outcome, that consistency across twelve plates is harder than excellence on one, and that nothing leaves the pass unless it is right.
She is also a licensed real estate broker. Brokering is the business of walking someone through a large purchase in writing — every disclosure, every assumption, every unknown named before anyone signs. That is why Vinyl Alchemy quotes in writing instead of over the phone, and why exclusions and unknowns appear on the estimate rather than surfacing mid-project.
Why it works this way
Most shops outsource design or work from templates. Most design studios hand off a file and hope the installation holds up. Both gaps produce the same result: a customer who finds out what they actually bought after the work is done.
- Design and installation happen under one roof, by the two people who own the company
- Scope, exclusions, and unknowns are written down before production begins
- Surface condition is assessed honestly, because failing paint and powder coat do not hold film
- Fleet work is built for consistency across every unit, not just the first one
- When something cannot be done well, we say so before taking a deposit
The shop
Vinyl Alchemy operates from a facility at 2956 South Waterworks Road in Buford, Georgia, serving metro Atlanta and qualified Southeast markets. Marine work on Lake Lanier and race livery near Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta are both within reach of the shop.
Visits are by appointment. Calling ahead means someone is available to walk the vehicle with you rather than working a deadline in the bay.
