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.
The case for car wraps and colour change in Prestwick
- Estate agents, mobile hairdressers and home-visit professionals who drive around Prestwick all day can add neat branding to a car without repainting it.
- Valeters, driving instructors and mobile mechanics working in Prestwick often use their own car as their shopfront, so its finish says something about the work.
- In a Prestwick car park full of silver, grey and white cars, a satin or matt colour change is hard to miss when clients arrive.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Prestwick
Scotland follows the same approach to vehicle graphics as the rest of the UK. Livery on a van, car or lorry in everyday use is not treated as an advertisement needing consent; the council's interest starts only if a vehicle is parked up chiefly as a sign. What matters instead is the paperwork and the glass. DVLA should be told of any change of main colour through the V5C, and so should your insurer. Light transmission rules set a minimum of 75% for the windscreen and 70% for the front side windows, so our layouts never touch them. Lease or contract hire? Read the terms on graphics and removal first.
