COLOUR CHANGE EXPLAINED

A colour change wrap is the most dramatic transformation you can give a vehicle without a respray. Every visible exterior panel is wrapped in premium automotive vinyl, completely replacing the appearance of the original paint. When installed by experienced professionals using the right materials, the result is virtually indistinguishable from factory paint.

Unlike a respray, a colour change wrap is fully reversible. The original paintwork is preserved and protected underneath the vinyl, which means when the wrap reaches the end of its life or you simply want a change, it can be removed to reveal the factory finish in the condition it was in when the wrap was applied. This makes colour change wraps particularly popular for high value vehicles where preserving the original paint is important for resale, and for leased or financed cars where permanent modifications are not an option.

A colour change wrap also costs significantly less than a quality respray. A professional respray can easily run to £3,000 to £5,000 or more, takes weeks rather than days, and is permanent. A vinyl colour change achieves a comparable visual result in 3 to 5 days at a fraction of the cost, with the added benefit that your original paint is protected rather than removed.

We offer colour change wraps in every finish imaginable. With over 300 colours available across our Arlon, 3M and Avery Dennison ranges, the only limit is your imagination.

OUR PROCESS

Colour Change Wrap vs Respray

WRAP VS RESPRAY

Chrome trim appears in more places than most people realise. We can dechrome any or all of these areas to give your vehicle a fully blacked-out, cohesive look. Most customers start with window surrounds and the grille, these make the biggest visual impact.

Colour Change Wrap FAQs

QUESTIONS?

  • A full colour change wrap typically costs between £1,500 and £3,500 depending on the size of the vehicle, the vinyl finish chosen and the complexity of the installation. Standard gloss, matte and satin finishes sit at the lower end, while specialty films like colour shift, chrome and metallic command a premium due to higher material costs and more demanding installation. We provide a fixed quote based on your specific vehicle and chosen finish, with no hidden extras.

  • A full colour change typically takes 3 to 5 working days. This allows time for thorough preparation, trim removal, panel by panel wrapping, refitting and a final quality inspection. We do not rush the process because cutting corners on preparation and installation directly impacts how the wrap looks and how long it lasts.

  • We exclusively use premium automotive grade cast vinyl from Arlon, 3M and Avery Dennison. With proper care, a colour change wrap will last 5 to 7 years. Regular hand washing with a pH neutral shampoo, avoiding automated car washes with abrasive brushes, and keeping the vehicle garaged or covered when possible will help maintain the finish for the full duration.

  • No. A professionally installed and removed vinyl wrap will not damage factory paintwork. The wrap actually protects the original paint from UV fading, stone chips, bird droppings and general wear. When the wrap is removed, the paint underneath is in the same condition as the day the wrap was applied. This is one of the key advantages over a respray.

  • Yes. If the wrap changes the predominant colour of your vehicle, you must update your V5C registration document with the DVLA. This is free and can be done online. The police rely on vehicle colour data during investigations, so keeping it up to date is a legal requirement.

  • Yes. A colour change wrap is classed as a vehicle modification and must be declared to your insurer. In most cases it has little or no impact on premiums, but failing to declare it could invalidate a claim. We recommend notifying your insurer before the wrap is installed.

  • Almost any vehicle can be colour change wrapped. The key requirement is that the existing paintwork is in reasonable condition. Significant rust, peeling lacquer or deep scratches can affect how well the vinyl adheres and how smooth the finish looks. We inspect every vehicle before starting work and will advise if any paintwork issues need addressing first.

  • Yes. Because vinyl wraps are fully reversible and do not damage the original paint, they are ideal for leased or financed vehicles. You can enjoy a completely different colour for the duration of your agreement, then have the wrap professionally removed before returning the car to the finance company in its original specification.

  • Item descriptionMinor damage such as a stone chip or small scratch can usually be repaired by patching the affected area with matching vinyl. This is significantly cheaper and easier than repairing a scratch on a respray. For more significant damage, individual panels can be re-wrapped without needing to redo the entire vehicle.

  • We are based in Lincolnshire and serve customers across Grimsby, Cleethorpes, Hull, Scunthorpe, Lincoln, Doncaster, Sheffield, York, Leeds and beyond. We welcome customers from across the region.
