Can cars and vans in one fleet carry different levels of graphics?

Yes, and it's common. Pool cars might carry a logo and web address on the doors, vans a part wrap with services and phone number, and trucks larger side graphics. The colours, typefaces and logo placement stay consistent, so every vehicle still reads as the same business.

How do you keep colours consistent across the fleet?

By fixing the film and print references at the start and recording them. Solid-colour vinyl is chosen from a fixed range, and printed colours are matched to your references and proofed on the actual film. Small variations between print batches can occur, so replacement panels are checked against the graphics already fitted.

Can you take over livery designed by someone else?

Yes. Send the original artwork if you have it, or straight-on photos of each vehicle type. We redraw the livery onto master templates, match colours as closely as the films allow, and flag anything that won't transfer well to a new model, such as graphics that would cross a different door line.

What is the price of fleet livery for a business in Barry?

Guide pricing runs from £225 to £1,650 per vehicle, 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.

How long does it take to get fleet livery in Barry?

It typically takes a few weeks from first enquiry, with much of that time falling after you approve the proof, while the work is made and scheduled. Graphics and vehicle jobs are typically shorter than fabricated or illuminated signs. If advertisement consent is needed, the council's decision comes first and adds to the overall timescale.

You deal with Smart Signs throughout: we take the enquiry, survey, prepare the design and quote, check consent and coordinate the fitting, so there is one point of contact from first message to handover.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Barry

Planning rarely comes into vans and cars in Wales, because advertisements on vehicles normally used for travelling are outside advertisement control; a vehicle parked up as a static billboard is the exception. The checks that matter are practical. Tell DVLA, using the V5C, and your insurer if the main colour changes. Keep the windscreen and front side windows clear so they meet the 75% and 70% light minimums in the Construction and Use Regulations 1986. And make sure the paint is sound factory finish, since resprays, rust or failing lacquer can lift when a wrap is later removed.
