What Is a Colour Change Vinyl Wrap?
A colour change wrap covers your car’s existing paintwork with specialist automotive vinyl, giving it a different colour or finish without a respray. Choose a subtle factory-style look or something that stands out, from deep gloss black to satin metallic and colour-shifting shades.
At Wrap Your Car, we install full colour change car wraps at our Kidderminster workshop. We help you choose the material, finish and coverage to suit your vehicle, then prepare and wrap each panel with attention to edges, curves and visible details.
A Look That Suits Your Car
Choose from a wide range of colours and finishes, with physical samples to help you decide.
Premium Automotive Vinyl
Quality materials, including options from the 3M 2080 range, selected for your chosen finish and application.
A Change Without a Respray
Transform the exterior while keeping the existing paint underneath. Suitability and removal depend on the condition of the paintwork.

Colour Change Car Wrap FAQs
How much does a full colour change wrap cost?
Our full colour change wraps start from £1,800 for small cars, £2,220 for medium cars, £2,750 for large cars and £3,180 for SUVs and 4×4s. The final price depends on the vehicle, material, paint condition and agreed coverage. Send us your vehicle details and photos for an accurate quote.
How long does a colour change wrap last?
The lifespan depends on the vinyl selected, the surfaces it is applied to, exposure to sunlight and weather, and how the vehicle is maintained. Horizontal panels such as the bonnet and roof can weather differently from vertical panels. We’ll explain the expected service life and applicable material warranty for your chosen film before booking.
Will a vinyl wrap damage my car’s paint?
Sound original paintwork is generally a suitable surface for automotive vinyl, but a wrap is not risk-free on every vehicle. Repainted panels, poor lacquer adhesion, rust and existing damage can increase the risk of paint lifting during removal. We assess the visible condition before installation and discuss any concerns with you.
Can you wrap a car with scratches, stone chips or peeling lacquer?
Vinyl follows the surface underneath, so chips, scratches and uneven paint may remain visible through the wrap. Peeling lacquer, corrosion and unstable paint need attention before wrapping. Send us close-up photos of any damaged areas so we can advise on preparation.
How long does a full car wrap take?
The installation time depends on the vehicle’s size, complexity, condition and the coverage required. Preparation, any necessary disassembly and final checks are all part of the process. We’ll confirm the expected workshop time when we quote for your car.
Does a full wrap include door shuts and interior painted areas?
The exact coverage is agreed in your quotation. Door shuts, inner returns and other painted areas are not automatically included in an exterior colour change wrap. If you want the new colour to continue into these areas, tell us when requesting your quote.
How should I wash my wrapped car?
Follow the care instructions for your chosen vinyl. Gentle hand washing with suitable products is usually the best approach. Avoid abrasive products and directing high-pressure water at edges or seams. Matte, satin and textured finishes may require different care from gloss vinyl, and we’ll explain this before collection.
Is a colour change vinyl wrap the same as paint protection film?
No. Colour change vinyl is primarily used to change a vehicle’s appearance. It can provide a barrier against some light surface wear, but it is not a substitute for paint protection film designed for impact resistance. If stone-chip protection is your main priority, ask us about our PPF options.
