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.
Reasons to choose car wraps and colour change in Stornoway
- Driving between appointments across the Highlands and Islands and into Stornoway, a branded car keeps your name in view at junctions, on school runs and in residential streets.
- In a Stornoway car park full of silver, grey and white cars, a satin or matt colour change is hard to miss when clients arrive.
- Leased cars can be run in your brand colours around Stornoway and handed back in factory paint later, as long as the lease allows it.
What car wraps and colour change cost in Stornoway
Below is the guide pricing we use for car wraps and colour change: from £1,950 up to £3,750 per car, before VAT. These are not fixed quotes. A written price follows once measurements are taken and your artwork has been checked.
| 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.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Stornoway
For vehicle graphics in Scotland, think DVLA and insurance rather than planning. A vehicle that is normally driven is outside advertisement control, though one parked up mainly as an advertisement is not. If the main colour changes, update the colour on your V5C and tell your insurer. We keep all graphics clear of the windscreen and front side windows, which need at least 75% and 70% light transmission under the 1986 Construction and Use Regulations. Before wrapping, we check the paintwork: chips, rust, poor resprays or failing lacquer can lift when the wrap is removed later.
Covering Stornoway and the Highlands and Islands
From the middle of Stornoway to the edges of the Highlands and Islands, the same survey, proof and fit process applies. If the job calls for someone on site, a visit is booked; if not, we price from photos, measurements and your artwork, then confirm the details once the artwork is checked. In postcode terms, Stornoway jobs typically fall in HS1.
Stornoway is reached by ferry, so surveys and fitting are arranged case by case and the crossing is itemised on your quote.
