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 Barking
- A matching black roof and chrome delete is a modest way for a Barking business to make its pool cars look like a set.
- Valeters, driving instructors and mobile mechanics working in Barking 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 Barking and handed back in factory paint later, as long as the lease allows it.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Barking
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.
