Car & Van Wrapping FAQ’s:
What is vehicle wrapping?
Vehicle wrapping is the process of applying a thin, high-quality vinyl film to the exterior of your vehicle. This film can be used for striking colour changes, bespoke printed branding, advertising graphics or protective finishes. It’s an aftermarket alternative to paintwork.
Do wraps damage my vehicle?
No. When installed by professionals, quality vinyl wraps protect your paintwork from minor scratches and UV fading and can be safely removed without harming the original finish, provided the underlying paint is in good condition.
Can my wrap be removed later?
Absolutely. Vinyl wraps are designed to be removable without damaging the paint, especially when removed by our trained technicians. This makes wraps ideal for lease returns, seasonal promotions, colour updates or resale preparation.
What types of wraps are available?
We offer:
Full colour-change wraps
Partial wraps
Full commercial wraps
Printed graphics
Cut vinyl lettering
Chrome delete/dechroming
Bonnet & roof accents
All our wraps use premium vinyl from leading brands such as 3M, Avery Dennison and Oracal
How long does wrapping take?
Times vary depending on vehicle size and wrap complexity. Generally:
Partial wraps: 1–2 days
Full commercial printed wraps : 2-3 days
Full colour change wraps: 3–7 days
We’ll give you a timeframe before work begins.
How much does a van wrap cost?
The cost of a van wrap varies depending on the level of coverage you need. A full wrap will naturally cost more than partial wrapped areas or simple cut vinyl decals. Pricing also depends on the size and shape of your van, the complexity of the design, and the type of finish you choose.

How long will a wrap last?
With proper care and quality materials, most wraps can last 5 years or more. Provided our after care instructions are followed we guarantee our wraps for 2 years.
Do I need to tell my insurance & the DVLA?
Yes. A wrap that changes your vehicle’s appearance (especially colour) should be declared to your insurer, and you must update the DVLA V5C registration document if the vehicle’s colour changes. This keeps your records compliant and helps avoid issues during resale or inspection.
Does my vehicle need prepping before the wrap?
Yes. The cleaner and more defect-free the vehicle’s surface, the better the wrap will bond and perform, so we appreciate vehicles being washed before drop-off.
We will carry out final cleaning and preparation prior to installation; however, if the vehicle is not in a suitable condition to proceed (for example, excessive dirt, contamination, tar, or silicone residue), additional preparation may be required and this may incur an extra charge.
Can wrapping save me money?
In many cases, yes. Compared to a full repaint, vinyl wrapping is often more costeffective and offers the added benefit of protecting your original paintwork.
A high-quality wrap acts as a protective barrier against minor stone chips, light scratches, road debris, bird droppings, tree sap and staining from environmental fallout. By shielding the factory paint underneath, a wrap can help maintain your vehicle’s condition and potentially improve its resale value when removed.
How do I look after my wrap once it’s on?
To keep your wrap looking its best:
Do not use pressure washers
Hand-wash regularly with PH neutral car shampoo and warm water
Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive brushes
Avoid drive through automatic brush car washes where possible Routine care helps extend the life and vibrancy of your wrap.
