Car wraps and colour change in Somerset

Car wraps and colour change for businesses across Somerset, planned and quoted by Smart Signs and fitted by installers working under our contract. We cover the whole of England as part of a UK-wide service, so whether your premises or vehicles are in the main town or a smaller place nearby, the steps are the same: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a fixed price, then the work.

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.

Why choose car wraps and colour change in Somerset?

  • Leased cars can be run in your brand colours around Taunton and handed back in factory paint later, as long as the lease allows it.
  • Company cars parked outside clients' offices in Taunton can carry a small, tasteful logo on the doors rather than a full van-style livery.
  • A matching black roof and chrome delete is a modest way for a Taunton business to make its pool cars look like a set.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Somerset

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.

Options worth considering

Matt

Flat and striking; washed clean rather than polished.

Satin

A soft sheen that hides fine swirl marks.

Metallic

Flecked film that catches the light like metallic paint.

Car wraps and colour change in Somerset: questions

Is Taunton inside your coverage area for car wraps and colour change?

It is. We work throughout the UK rather than in a single region, so Taunton and every part of Somerset are included. Where a survey is needed we arrange a visit; for graphics jobs we can often quote from photos and measurements. Either way, you get a proof and a written price first.

How long does a colour-change wrap last?

Manufacturers commonly rate quality cast colour-change films at around 5–7 years for vertical surfaces like the doors. The roof, bonnet and boot lid take more sun and weather, so they age faster. The colour and finish play a part too, as do where the car is parked and how it's washed.

What is the price of car wraps and colour change for a business in Taunton?

Guide pricing runs from £1,950 to £3,750 per car, plus VAT. The main things that move it are dimensions, the material and finish, illumination where relevant, how high the work is and whether a scaffold or platform is needed. Your written quote, issued after a survey or a check of your artwork, replaces the guide figure.

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.

Is there a typical lead time for car wraps and colour change in Taunton?

Yes, though it varies with the job. The lead time typically runs from the day you approve the proof, not from the first enquiry, and is typically a few weeks. Survey visits, artwork changes and any consent application sit before that point, so getting photos, sizes and logo files to us early typically shortens the overall timescale.

Will a wrap protect the paint underneath?

It helps. While the film is on, it shields the paint from sun fade, light scuffs and bird droppings, which is one reason some owners of newer cars choose a wrap over a respray. It isn't armour, though: a sharp stone or a car-park knock can still mark the film and occasionally the paint below.
