A vinyl wrap lets you change your car completely without touching the factory paint. Where a respray is permanent, a wrap is reversible: peel it off years later and the original finish is preserved underneath, often better protected than the day it was covered. It's the modern way to make a car unmistakably yours.

We work exclusively in premium cast vinyls from the makers professionals trust, in gloss, satin, matte, metallic, and textured finishes. Cast film is thinner, more conformable and far more durable than the cheaper calendered vinyl used for short-term signage. It's what keeps edges down and colour true for years rather than months.

The finish of a wrap is decided long before any film goes on. We wash and decontaminate the paint, then remove trim, badges, handles and lights where needed so the vinyl can be tucked and wrapped rather than trimmed short at every edge. This is the difference between a wrap that looks painted and one that looks wrapped. Panels are laid, heat-formed into every contour and post-heated to lock the film, then reassembled.

Beyond full colour changes, we wrap the details that transform a car for less: gloss-black or carbon roofs, mirror caps, bonnet stripes, chrome delete, and accent panels. Wraps also pair naturally with our tinting and caliper work for a coordinated finish.

Every wrap is quoted after we've seen the car, because condition matters: deep scratches, rust or previous poor paint repairs affect how film sits and lasts. Because we paint and refinish in-house, any prep, repairs and colour-matching happen under one roof, not sent out to a bodyshop like most wrap studios. We'll talk through what's achievable, show you the finishes in person, and give you a clear price before any work starts.

On factory paint in good condition, a quality wrap protects the surface and removes cleanly when the time comes. The exception is paint that is already failing or has been badly repaired, where film can lift it on removal. That is why we always inspect first and flag any risk before we start.

A professionally fitted cast-vinyl wrap typically lasts around five to seven years, depending on the finish, how the car is used and how it is stored. Gloss films tend to be the most hard-wearing, while matte and textured finishes can be a little more sensitive. Look after it well and you will get the most from it.

Yes. A colour change should be declared to your insurer, and a significant change of colour needs updating on your V5C logbook with the DVLA. It is quick to sort, and we are happy to talk you through it.

Absolutely. Partial wraps like a gloss-black roof, a bonnet, mirror caps, stripes or a chrome delete are some of our most popular work. They are a cost-effective way to change a car's character without a full colour change, and they pair well with our other services.

A full wrap is not a quick job when it is done well, because the prep and the careful work around every edge are where the quality lives. Most full wraps take several days once the car is with us, and partial wraps are much quicker. We give you a clear timescale when we quote, after we have seen the car.

Hand washing is kindest to a wrap, using a gentle shampoo and a soft mitt. Touchless car washes are usually fine, but we would steer you away from brush-style rollers, which can catch and lift edges over time. We give you simple aftercare notes so the film keeps looking its best.

Vinyl follows the surface underneath it, so deep scratches, chips, dents or flaking paint can show through or affect how well the film sticks and lasts. We assess the paint first and tell you honestly what to expect. Sometimes a little prep or a smart repair beforehand gives a far better result.

Plenty. We work in premium cast films in gloss, satin, matte, metallic, textured and colour-shift finishes, across a huge range of colours. The best way to choose is to see samples against your own paint and in your light, which we will happily set up. We will also advise on which finishes wear best for how you use the car.
