Rules for vehicle graphics in Strabane

Planning for car wraps and colour change in Northern Ireland? The council's advertisement rules generally do not apply to vehicles in normal use, though a vehicle stationed mainly as an advert can be treated as one. The points to watch are DVLA, insurance and visibility: update the V5C if the main colour changes, let your insurer know, and keep the windscreen (75% light minimum) and front side windows (70%) free of graphics. Rear one-way vision film is used on vans and cars with two exterior mirrors. For leased vehicles, check the agreement on graphics and removal.

Car wraps and colour change in Strabane: questions

Can a car wrap carry business branding?

Yes. Printed or cut graphics can go on top of a colour change, or straight onto the factory paint as a lighter-touch option, such as a logo on the front doors and a web address on the boot. Graphics on a vehicle normally used as a moving vehicle are outside advertisement control, so branding a car you drive for work isn't usually a council matter.

How long does it take to get car wraps and colour change in Strabane?

It typically takes a few weeks from first enquiry, with much of that time falling after you approve the proof, while the work is made and scheduled. Graphics and vehicle jobs are typically shorter than fabricated or illuminated signs. If advertisement consent is needed, the council's decision comes first and adds to the overall timescale.

What makes car wraps and colour change more or less expensive?

Size and quantity come first, then the material or film, any lighting, the height of the work and the equipment needed to reach it, and the state of the surface or old sign being replaced. Against that, the guide for a job in Strabane is £1,950–£3,750 per car + VAT, confirmed after a survey or artwork check.

What do you need from me to quote for car wraps and colour change in Strabane?

Photos are the most useful start: the whole frontage, window or vehicle, plus a close-up of the area involved. Add rough measurements, your logo or artwork if you have it, and the address. From that we can say whether a survey visit is needed and send a written quote, followed by a proof for you to approve.

Can you wrap a leased or financed car?

Usually, but read the agreement first. Agreements normally set out whether cosmetic changes are allowed and what condition the car must be in when it goes back. A colour change will have to come off before return, and the paint underneath needs to be sound for that to go smoothly, so mention the lease when you ask for a price.

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.
