Rules for vehicle graphics in Blairgowrie and Rattray

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.

Car wraps and colour change in Blairgowrie and Rattray: questions

Can I get a fixed price for car wraps and colour change in Blairgowrie and Rattray before committing?

Yes. We start from the guide range, £1,950 to £3,750 per car excluding VAT, then measure up or look at your photos and artwork. That gives a fixed written price reflecting the real size, materials, access and any design or consent work. You only commit once you accept that price and approve the proof.

Can a car wrap carry business branding?

Yes. Printed or cut graphics can go on top of a colour change, or straight onto the factory paint as a lighter-touch option, such as a logo on the front doors and a web address on the boot. Graphics on a vehicle normally used as a moving vehicle are outside advertisement control, so branding a car you drive for work isn't usually a council matter.

Can you wrap a leased or financed car?

Usually, but read the agreement first. Agreements normally set out whether cosmetic changes are allowed and what condition the car must be in when it goes back. A colour change will have to come off before return, and the paint underneath needs to be sound for that to go smoothly, so mention the lease when you ask for a price.

How long is the car off the road?

A full colour change typically takes 2–4 days of fitting, and longer when door shuts are included or a lot of trim has to come off. Part wraps such as a roof or mirrors typically take a few hours to a day. The car needs to be clean, dry and indoors throughout, so plan for it to be away for the whole job.

How do I get a quote for car wraps and colour change in Blairgowrie and Rattray?

Use the quote form, phone or WhatsApp and include a few photos, rough sizes and any logo files you have. We check the details, arrange a survey where one is needed, then send a fixed written price with a design drawn to scale. The quote is free, and nothing is made until you approve it.

Could the consent process affect the timing of my job in Blairgowrie and Rattray?

It can. Not every job needs an application, but where express consent is required the council's decision typically takes several weeks, and fitting typically waits until it is granted. We check this at the start, so the timetable you receive with your quote allows for consent where it applies, along with the proof approval stage.
