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.
Points in favour of car wraps and colour change in Formby
- Driving between appointments across Merseyside and into Formby, a branded car keeps your name in view at junctions, on school runs and in residential streets.
- Valeters, driving instructors and mobile mechanics working in Formby 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 Formby and handed back in factory paint later, as long as the lease allows it.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Formby
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.
