Car wrapping is a way of changing the look of your vehicle without the need for a complicated and potentially expensive paint respray. It involves completely or partially covering your vehicle with a vinyl film. This film can be used to overlay the vehicle with a different colour or design, add a gloss or matte finish, or simply add a protective layer.
A car wrap may also be known as a paint wrap, colour change wrap or paint protection film.

How does a car wrap work?
When a car is wrapped, a layer of plastic vinyl coating is stuck over the top of the vehicle’s paintwork.
There are normally three stages to car wrapping:
- Taking accurate measurements of the car then choosing colours, finishes or graphics to fit.
- Printing and laminating the vinyl to protect it from scratches/abrasions and UV damage.
- Applying the vinyl to your vehicle.
