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.
Practical reasons to consider car wraps and colour change in Swadlincote
- A matching black roof and chrome delete is a modest way for a Swadlincote business to make its pool cars look like a set.
- Company cars parked outside clients' offices in Swadlincote can carry a small, tasteful logo on the doors rather than a full van-style livery.
- Leased cars can be run in your brand colours around Swadlincote and handed back in factory paint later, as long as the lease allows it.
What car wraps and colour change cost in Swadlincote
Pricing for car wraps and colour change is worked out job by job, but the guide range is £1,950 to £3,750 per car + VAT. The table lists typical options. Your figure is confirmed only after a site survey or a check of the artwork you send.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Full colour change, small or medium car | £1,950 – £2,850 | £2,340 – £3,420 |
| Full colour change, large car or SUV | £2,650 – £3,750 | £3,180 – £4,500 |
| Roof, mirrors or bonnet only | £195 – £650 | £234 – £780 |
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.
Options for your Swadlincote project
Colour-shift

Rules for vehicle graphics in Swadlincote
For vehicles, the paperwork is about DVLA and your insurer, not the planning department. Graphics on a van or car that is normally driven around fall outside advertisement control; only a vehicle parked mainly as an advertising hoarding is caught. A change of main colour means updating the colour on your V5C and telling your insurer. We leave the windscreen and front side windows clear, because the Construction and Use Regulations 1986 require at least 75% and 70% light through them, and we check the paint is sound factory finish before wrapping. If the vehicle is leased, confirm the lease permits graphics and how they must come off.
