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.
The case for car wraps and colour change in Rutherglen
- Leased cars can be run in your brand colours around Rutherglen and handed back in factory paint later, as long as the lease allows it.
- Company cars parked outside clients' offices in Rutherglen can carry a small, tasteful logo on the doors rather than a full van-style livery.
- In a Rutherglen 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 Rutherglen
The figures in this table are guide prices, from £1,950 to £3,750 per car, and they exclude VAT. They are there to help you plan. A firm price follows the survey or artwork check and is agreed before any work starts.
| 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 Rutherglen project
Metallic
Flecked film that catches the light like metallic paint.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Rutherglen
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.
