Updating the look of your car or van is one of the biggest benefits to purchasing a vehicle wrap.

You can purchase the perfect car for you and not worry about the colour finish as a vehicle wrap will sort that for you.

Wide Choice of Colours

The colours available to you when getting a can or van wrap are unlimited whether you are going for matt or metallic there are numerous colours to choose from. Currently gloss white and matt black are pretty popular, but the carbon fibre vehicle wrap is becoming very popular for sports cars too. Those really looking to stand out from the crowd are opting for chrome wrapping which make a stunning car even more stunning and eye-catching.

Protect Your Car

With vehicle wraps the vinyl wrap protects the paintwork underneath – this means the cars paintwork is protected from scratches, abrasions and everyday wear and tear that your car may get to its paintwork. However the vinyl wrapping can then be removed from the car by vehicle wrapping experts and your car is returned to its former glory or ready for a change in colour with a new vehicle wrap!

Moving Advertisement Board

Want To Change The Colour Of Your Car?

Changing the colour of your car or van used to be a long winded process that involved taking the vehicle to the body-shop for a re-spray and parting with years of hard earned cash that you had scrimped and saved to be able to afford to change the colour of your can or van. The results weren’t perfect either. You were left with a very empty pocket, mismatched panels, old paint colour showing on some of the inner sills, paint that faded in the sun and uneven paint finishes in some areas that could not have been avoided due to the way spray paint works.

When it comes to decals on vehicles, vinyl has seen some large successes. It was often used for advertising on your car in smaller areas and covering things like bumpers or wing mirrors but as time has gone on more and more people are choosing to get their vehicle vinyl wrapped or they are purchasing van wraps.

The vehicle wrapping process offers a near perfect finish when the vinyl wrap is applied to a vehicle with a hot air gun but it is highly recommended that trained professionals complete the vehicle wrapping for you as mistakes can be made if you are not fully trained in vehicle wraps.

The finished results are fantastic; there is no mess and no over spray that you may get with spray painting a vehicle. You will also find that you don’t need to mess around contacting the DVLA either as vinyl vehicle wrapping is classed as a temporary change to a car!

All you need to do now is get your thinking cap on – what colour will you change your car to and where will you advertise your business on your vehicle?

How to Choose the Best Vehicle Wrapping Company

You’ve decided to get your vehicle wrapped but now you need to decide which company to go to, to get the vehicle wrapping done. In this article we have put together some pointers that you need to consider when choosing the company for the vehicle wrapping.

 Ask to see a car they have wrapped. If the company is popular they will have a car in the garage that is being worked on or one that is waiting to be collected. If the company is proud of what they are doing they may even have their own car or vehicle that has been wrapped.

When looking at a car that the company has wrapped take a good look at how the vehicle wrapping company have finished it off. Check to see if there is vinyl popping out of areas as this can mean that the wrap on the car has not been finished off properly. Also have a look inside the car around the doors – has the vinyl wrapping been finished off neatly?

Every car wrapper will use scalpel but a professional car wrapping company will use scalpels carefully and ensure no marks are left. Have a look round the car for scalpel marks; you may see them around the edges of panels, round doors or round the window areas. Sadly some scalpel marks may be under the vinyl and you will not see them until the vinyl comes off so make sure you are confident with the vehicle wrapping company you choose.

Have a look at the quality of the vinyl; some vehicle wrapping companies will use a cheaper quality vinyl to save money on the car wraps. If you get a quote for a vehicle wrap that is lots less than you expected then be cautious. Ask the vehicle wrapper if they offer a warranty too and see what this involves. This way you have peace of mind if something does go wrong.

A good quality vehicle wrapping company will advise you to get rust removed and damage fixed before getting the vehicle wrapped. Vinyl wrapping is unable to cover what you can already see damage wise so may sure your car is looking perfect before you decide to get it wrapped.

Ask for references from the clients of the vehicle wrappers you choose, have a look on review sites and their website too. See what their customers say and if they’re happy with their vehicle wrap you will be happy with yours too!

So you’ve got Your Vehicle Wrapped – What Now?

Your vehicle is all nicely wrapped, it looks great, your vehicle is now a marketing machine on wheels and you can’t wait to get driving and showing it off to all your new potential clients. But before you do that just have a quick skim through of the following details. They show you how to take care of your newly vehicle wrapped car;

A vinyl vehicle wrap isn’t delicate but it’s a good idea to take care of it, try to avoid the jet washes as it may result in damaging your vinyl wrap. Consider this when using an automated car wash too as the jet wash and rough rollers can do damage to it too. But let’s be honest – when your newly wrapped car looks this good it will be a pleasure to wash it by hand anyway!

As with all car polishes, make sure you use a brand you have tried and tested before, alternatively give us a call and we can recommend the best polish for your car that won’t damage the vinyl wrapping.

If you want to test the polish pop a small dab in an unseen area and leave it to rest for a little while, if there are no adverse effects after a few minutes then he polish is fine to use all over the car. Just make sure you are cautious when using a brand new polish that you haven’t used before for the first time.

If you or someone else causes damage to the car don’t panic. All you need to do is pop back in and see us, we can remove the wrap in the area the damage was caused and replace it. We work in panels when vehicle wrapping, so we will only take the one panel off, cover and protect the rest of the car and then replace the vinyl wrapping again. You’ll be pleased to hear that the vinyl actually protects the car from scratches in most cases and when pulling the vinyl off there will often be no damage to the paintwork of the car from the scratch.

As with any paintwork, dirt such as bird poo can damage it so make sure you wipe it off as soon as you get the chance. Washing your car at least twice a month will be really beneficial even if your car looks clean. If you car can tend to get quite dirty due to the roads you use then you may want to wash it more often – this will help keep the vinyl wrapping looking as good as new for longer.

A vehicle wrap is the application of a self adhesive vinyl to a surface; in this case the surface would be your car. Our expert vehicle wrappers will use their expertise to contour the vinyl to the shape of your cars body. When the vehicle is wrapped the end result will be a full vehicle colour change with no expensive re-sprays and the original paint work is unaffected.

You will also find that the vinyl protects your cars original paintwork from stone chips and scratches too, working as a protective layer to your car.
