A car wrap is a thin cast vinyl film applied over the factory paint to change the car's colour or finish, either across every panel or on selected parts such as the roof or mirrors.

Points in favour of car wraps and colour change in Fraserburgh

  • For a new business launching in Fraserburgh, a car wrapped in brand colours can be changed back if the branding moves on, with no respray involved.
  • Estate agents, mobile hairdressers and home-visit professionals who drive around Fraserburgh all day can add neat branding to a car without repainting it.
  • Valeters, driving instructors and mobile mechanics working in Fraserburgh often use their own car as their shopfront, so its finish says something about the work.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Fraserburgh

For vehicle graphics in Scotland, think DVLA and insurance rather than planning. A vehicle that is normally driven is outside advertisement control, though one parked up mainly as an advertisement is not. If the main colour changes, update the colour on your V5C and tell your insurer. We keep all graphics clear of the windscreen and front side windows, which need at least 75% and 70% light transmission under the 1986 Construction and Use Regulations. Before wrapping, we check the paintwork: chips, rust, poor resprays or failing lacquer can lift when the wrap is removed later.

Car wraps and colour change in Fraserburgh: questions

Is there a guide price for car wraps and colour change in Fraserburgh?

Yes: £1,950–£3,750 per car + VAT is our guide range. It is not a fixed quote, because no two jobs are the same size or on the same surface. The area covered, materials, the number of letters or panels, removal of anything old and access all change the figure, which we confirm after seeing the site or artwork.

How long is the car off the road?

A full colour change typically takes 2–4 days of fitting, and longer when door shuts are included or a lot of trim has to come off. Part wraps such as a roof or mirrors typically take a few hours to a day. The car needs to be clean, dry and indoors throughout, so plan for it to be away for the whole job.

What is the typical timescale for car wraps and colour change from enquiry to fitting?

A quote typically follows once we have your photos or have surveyed the site, and making and fitting is typically booked a few weeks after you approve the proof. Where advertisement consent applies, that decision has to come through before anything goes up, which can add several weeks. We give you an expected timescale with your quote for Fraserburgh.

How long does a colour-change wrap last?

Manufacturers commonly rate quality cast colour-change films at around 5–7 years for vertical surfaces like the doors. The roof, bonnet and boot lid take more sun and weather, so they age faster. The colour and finish play a part too, as do where the car is parked and how it's washed.

Is Fraserburgh inside your coverage area for car wraps and colour change?

It is. We work throughout the UK rather than in a single region, so Fraserburgh and every part of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire are included. Where a survey is needed we arrange a visit; for graphics jobs we can often quote from photos and measurements. Either way, you get a proof and a written price first.

Will a wrap protect the paint underneath?

It helps. While the film is on, it shields the paint from sun fade, light scuffs and bird droppings, which is one reason some owners of newer cars choose a wrap over a respray. It isn't armour, though: a sharp stone or a car-park knock can still mark the film and occasionally the paint below.
