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 Kettering
- Driving between appointments across Northamptonshire and into Kettering, a branded car keeps your name in view at junctions, on school runs and in residential streets.
- In a Kettering 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 Kettering and handed back in factory paint later, as long as the lease allows it.

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 Kettering project
Metallic
Flecked film that catches the light like metallic paint.
Gloss
A paint-like shine and the easiest finish to keep clean.
Matt
Flat and striking; washed clean rather than polished.
Rules for vehicle graphics in Kettering
Advertisement consent does not usually come into vehicle graphics. Advertisements on a vehicle normally used as a moving vehicle are outside advertisement control in England, although a vehicle parked up mainly to act as a billboard is treated differently. The rules that matter are road and registration ones. If a wrap changes the main colour, update the V5C log book with DVLA and tell your insurer. The windscreen must let through at least 75% of light and the front side windows at least 70% under the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986, so we keep graphics off them. Leased vehicles: check the lease allows graphics.
