The "King & Queen" Wrap
The Centerfold
By Jonnette McGowen, MDI Vehicle Wraps & Graphics
This “King and Queen” wrap is a custom show wrap designed and installed by MDI Wraps and Graphics, of the south side of Indianapolis, for the Indianapolis World of Wheels 2024 for Dustin Humston and Sarah Burton.
Their Ford Mustang has been a wellknown staple car in the Indianapolis car scene. It previously sported a matte purple wrap (KPMF Iced Amethyst Titanium), also done by MDI roughly 4 years ago. @mcgowensdecal
Custom private vehicles have become a special thing for MDI; Jonnette especially, who gets to sit down with customers through the design process to pull together a wrap that not only achieves wow factor but also hits a sentimental mark with them as well. Telling the customer's stories through their vehicle wraps is MDI's favorite part of giving someone a custom design and this "King & Queen" car tells several.
Both Dustin and Sarah can tell you, in depth, all the special touches that were included in this project. As you walk it there are little things that you’ll notice that might raise eyebrows and not make sense at first, but if you dive into their story you will see how everything comes together. Our favorite pieces added to this design have to be the goat skull on the back, which is a memorial for Dustin’s dad who was known as “The Goat” and those beautiful roses that are also a memorial for a family member of Sarah’s. All the little special touches add up on this car, but top it all off with the clarity in the design and prints and we assure you, it’s a one-of-a-kind
vehicle. Everything from the images to the colors and even how they divided and conquered the his and hers install in this vehicle tells a story.
This is just one of many custom show-quality prints MDI has in the works with their designer Enzo Talavera for the year. Their goal is to put out award-winning wraps, which in 2024 has already been hugely successful on stage.
One of the outstanding marks of MDI Wraps and Graphics, and their sister company, RPM Performance, is their live demos as they take their wraps in front of crowds to showcase throughout the year in Indianapolis. If you’re ever in the area on a weekend, reach out to Jonnette and pop over to meet them. You'll likely see them putting their work on display in front of the huge Indianapolis car crowd.
