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.
Where car wraps and colour change can pay off in Tranent
- A matching black roof and chrome delete is a modest way for a Tranent business to make its pool cars look like a set.
- Estate agents, mobile hairdressers and home-visit professionals who drive around Tranent all day can add neat branding to a car without repainting it.
- Valeters, driving instructors and mobile mechanics working in Tranent often use their own car as their shopfront, so its finish says something about the work.
What car wraps and colour change cost in Tranent
The table shows guide prices for car wraps and colour change, starting from £1,950 and reaching about £3,750 per car. All figures exclude VAT. Your own price is confirmed after we have seen the site or the artwork, so treat these as a starting point.

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 Tranent
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.
