Vehicle wrap removal is the process of warming old vinyl graphics until the film releases, peeling it away at a low angle, then cleaning off leftover adhesive so the paint is ready to sell, return or re-wrap.
Why choose vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Ayrshire?
- Selling a personal car in Kilmarnock after a colour-change wrap? Taking the film off reveals the factory colour and means the V5C can be changed back.
- Several summers in an open yard in Kilmarnock usually leave film sun-baked, brittle and slower to remove, so allow for more careful work.
- Faded, cracked graphics on a van parked at Kilmarnock jobs send the wrong message, and taking them off is the first step to a fresh look.
Guide prices in Ayrshire
Below is the guide pricing we use for vehicle wrap and graphics removal: from £245 up to £795 per vehicle, before VAT. These are not fixed quotes. A written price follows once measurements are taken and your artwork has been checked.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Lettering or part graphics removal | £245 – £450 | £294 – £540 |
| Full wrap removal | £450 – £795 | £540 – £954 |
The biggest factors are the age of the vinyl, whether it's cast or calendered film, and how much sun damage it has taken: brittle, cracked film takes far longer than film that peels in sheets. Vehicle size, the amount of adhesive left behind and any reflective film also count. Guide prices exclude VAT, and the final figure is confirmed from photos of the film's condition.
Vehicle wrap and graphics removal in Ayrshire: permission and rules
Removing graphics isn't usually a council matter. The point to watch is the V5C: if the wrap being removed changed the vehicle's main colour and DVLA was told at the time, update the colour back with DVLA and tell your insurer. Removing lettering or a part wrap over the original colour doesn't change the record. On a leased vehicle, check the return conditions for how graphics must be removed and how marks are charged. If the vehicle works on the highway, check whether your contract still needs Chapter 8 markings before they come off. These points are the same whether the vehicle is kept in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
