How do I get a quote for car wraps and colour change in Bournemouth?

Use the quote form, phone or WhatsApp and include a few photos, rough sizes and any logo files you have. We check the details, arrange a survey where one is needed, then send a fixed written price with a design drawn to scale. The quote is free, and nothing is made until you approve it.

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.

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 Bournemouth.

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 much should I budget for car wraps and colour change in Bournemouth?

As a guide, £1,950–£3,750 per car + VAT. Where your job falls in that range depends on size, materials, access height, whether old signage has to come off and how much design work is involved. We confirm a fixed price after a survey or artwork check, before anything is ordered.

Car wraps and colour change in Dorset

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.

Why choose car wraps and colour change in Dorset?

Driving between appointments across Dorset and into Bournemouth, a branded car keeps your name in view at junctions, on school runs and in residential streets.
Valeters, driving instructors and mobile mechanics working in Bournemouth often use their own car as their shopfront, so its finish says something about the work.
Leased cars can be run in your brand colours around Bournemouth and handed back in factory paint later, as long as the lease allows it.

Guide prices in Dorset

Here is the price picture for car wraps and colour change in Dorset: a guide of £1,950 to £3,750 per car, with VAT on top. The rows below give more detail. A survey or artwork check comes first, and then we confirm the price in writing.

Car wraps & colour change in Dorset: guide prices, supplied and fitted
Item	Guide, ex VAT	Inc. VAT (20%)

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 Dorset

Think road rules rather than planning rules. In England a vehicle normally used for driving is outside advertisement control, although parking one somewhere chiefly as a billboard can bring it back within the council's remit. Three checks matter more. Tell DVLA, via the V5C, and your insurer if the main colour changes. Keep the windscreen at 75% light transmission or better and the front side windows at 70% or better, as the 1986 Construction and Use Regulations require. And for lease vehicles, read the agreement for what it says about graphics and removal. We plan every layout around all three.

Options worth considering

Part wrap

Roof, mirrors, bonnet or a chrome delete on window trim and grille.

Gloss

A paint-like shine and the easiest finish to keep clean.

Colour-shift

Changes colour with the viewing angle; needs the most care.
