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.
Good reasons to look at car wraps and colour change in Portadown
- In a Portadown car park full of silver, grey and white cars, a satin or matt colour change is hard to miss when clients arrive.
- Estate agents, mobile hairdressers and home-visit professionals who drive around Portadown all day can add neat branding to a car without repainting it.
- Valeters, driving instructors and mobile mechanics working in Portadown often use their own car as their shopfront, so its finish says something about the work.
What car wraps and colour change cost in Portadown
Budgeting for car wraps and colour change? The guide below runs from £1,950 to £3,750 per car. VAT is extra. Size, materials and access decide where your job lands, and we confirm it in writing after surveying or checking the artwork.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Full colour change, small or medium car | £1,950 – £2,850 | £2,340 – £3,420 |

Price rises with the size of the car, complex bumpers and deep curves, how much trim has to come off, and the film itself, as metallic and colour-shift films cost more than gloss. Door shuts are quoted separately. All prices exclude VAT and are confirmed once we've seen the car or detailed photos.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Portadown
Does a wrapped or lettered vehicle count as an advertisement under Northern Ireland's planning rules? Not while it is used as a vehicle. Councils can treat a vehicle parked mainly to display an advert as a sign, but day-to-day livery is outside control. Registration in Northern Ireland sits with DVLA, as it does in Great Britain, so a change of main colour goes on the V5C and your insurer needs telling. The law sets minimums for the front glass: at least 75% of light through the windscreen and 70% through the front side windows, which is why our designs leave them untouched. Leased vehicles may carry conditions on graphics and their removal.
