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.
What car wraps and colour change can do for businesses in Swinton
- Valeters, driving instructors and mobile mechanics working in Swinton often use their own car as their shopfront, so its finish says something about the work.
- Estate agents, mobile hairdressers and home-visit professionals who drive around Swinton all day can add neat branding to a car without repainting it.
- In a Swinton car park full of silver, grey and white cars, a satin or matt colour change is hard to miss when clients arrive.
What car wraps and colour change cost in Swinton
Use these figures to budget: £1,950 to £3,750 per car is the guide range, with VAT added on top. Each line in the table is indicative only, and your exact price is confirmed after a survey or once we have looked over the artwork.
| 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 Swinton project
Metallic
Flecked film that catches the light like metallic paint.
Gloss
A paint-like shine and the easiest finish to keep clean.
Colour-shift
Changes colour with the viewing angle; needs the most care.
Rules for vehicle graphics in Swinton
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.
