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.

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.

Does the price of car wraps and colour change in Swindon include VAT?

No. Our guide range of £1,950–£3,750 per car excludes VAT, which is added to the quote. The final figure depends on size, materials, access, removal of existing signage or graphics and the artwork needed, and we confirm it in writing after a survey or once we have checked your files.

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

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.

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.

Do you work across Wiltshire or only in Swindon?

Across all of Wiltshire, and the rest of the UK too. Swindon is simply one of the places we list, and enquiries from anywhere nearby follow exactly the same steps: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a written price, then making and fitting once you sign off the design.

Car wraps and colour change in Wiltshire

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 Wiltshire?

Company cars parked outside clients' offices in Swindon can carry a small, tasteful logo on the doors rather than a full van-style livery.
Driving between appointments across Wiltshire and into Swindon, a branded car keeps your name in view at junctions, on school runs and in residential streets.
Estate agents, mobile hairdressers and home-visit professionals who drive around Swindon all day can add neat branding to a car without repainting it.

Guide prices in Wiltshire

How much? Expect a guide range of £1,950–£3,750 per car, VAT excluded. The rows below show what moves a job up or down that range, and the figure becomes firm once the survey or artwork check is done.

Car wraps & colour change in Wiltshire: guide prices, supplied and fitted
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 Wiltshire

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.

Options worth considering

Gloss

A paint-like shine and the easiest finish to keep clean.

Colour-shift

Changes colour with the viewing angle; needs the most care.

Matt

Flat and striking; washed clean rather than polished.
