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.
Car wraps and colour change in Nelson: the practical benefits
- A matching black roof and chrome delete is a modest way for a Nelson business to make its pool cars look like a set.
- In a Nelson car park full of silver, grey and white cars, a satin or matt colour change is hard to miss when clients arrive.
- For a new business launching in Nelson, a car wrapped in brand colours can be changed back if the branding moves on, with no respray involved.
What car wraps and colour change cost in Nelson
We publish guide prices so you can plan before you get in touch. For car wraps and colour change the range is £1,950–£3,750 per car, not including VAT, and the final price is confirmed after we survey the site or check 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.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Nelson
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.
Covering Nelson and Lancashire
Coverage is nationwide, which means Nelson and the surrounding parts of Lancashire are included as standard. Anything fixed to a building normally needs someone on site to measure and check fixings and access; simpler graphics can usually be quoted from images you send. The Nelson, Lancashire postcode districts we quote for include BB9, BB8 and BB10. Nelson lies around 21 miles east of Preston.
