Car wrapping
Car wrapping in Belfast and across Northern Ireland
Colour change wraps and company car livery in cast vinyl, applied in our own bay in Mallusk by the people who wrap vans and fleets every day.
Car wrapping
A new colour, or your company on every car
Car wrapping in Northern Ireland splits into two jobs. One is colour change: a different colour or finish on a private car, with the original paint protected underneath. The other is livery: company cars carrying the same artwork as the premises and the vans. We do both, in the same bay that handles our fleet work.
Every car is looked at before we quote, because the paint decides what is possible. A previous respray or failing lacquer can lift with the vinyl, and we would rather tell you that at the start than at the end.

Car wraps, made and fitted by us
Colour change wraps
A full change of colour in cast vinyl, laid around the panels, door shuts and handles rather than stopping short of them. The original paint stays underneath and protected.
Gloss, satin and matte finishes
The finish changes the car as much as the colour does, and a colour reads differently on curved panels than on a flat swatch, so it is worth choosing with the car in mind.
Chrome delete and roof wraps
Window trim, grilles and badges in black, and gloss black roofs and mirrors. A smaller job that changes the look of a car more than people expect.
Company car livery
Negotiators' cars, sales cars and pool cars in the same artwork as your premises and vans. We hold the artwork on file, so the next car matches the last one.
Part wraps and graphics
Bonnets, stripes, lettering and part wraps, for when a full wrap is more than you need.
How it runs
From paint check to handover
Car check
We look at the actual car. Paint condition, previous resprays, stone chips and existing film all decide what is possible, and if the paint is not sound enough to wrap we say so before you commit.
Colour and proof
We agree the colour and finish with you, and for livery you see a proof on the manufacturer template, laid out around the body lines.
Preparation
The car is washed, degreased and dried in the bay. Most wrap failures start with contamination, so this is where the time goes.
Application
Applied in our own controlled bay in Mallusk and post-heated into the recesses, so the vinyl stays where it was put.
Handover
The car stays with us overnight after wrapping rather than going straight back on the road, then we walk round it with you.
Vehicle work
Wrapped in the same bay
Cars, vans and fleets all go through the one bay in Mallusk.

Pricing
What drives the price of a car wrap
Size and shape come first: a small hatchback with flat panels is a different job from a large SUV with deep recesses and complex bumpers. The finish matters next, since chrome and specialist films cost more than standard gloss, satin or matte. Then the condition of the paint, and how much trim has to come off to wrap properly underneath it.
Part wraps, roofs and chrome delete are a fraction of a full colour change. For company cars, the design is done once and repeated, so ask us to price the cars together rather than one at a time.
Common questions
- Will a car wrap damage my paint?
- Not on sound factory paint. Cast vinyl is designed to be removed. Where a car has been resprayed or the lacquer is failing, we will flag it before we start rather than after.
- How long does a car wrap last?
- Five to seven years for good cast vinyl on vertical panels, less on a bonnet or roof that takes the full weather. How it is washed and looked after makes a difference too.
- How long will you need the car?
- A full colour change is usually two to three days in the bay, plus the night afterwards. Chrome delete, roofs and part wraps are shorter. We give you the exact window when we see the car.
- Can you wrap a leased or company car?
- Yes, and it is one of the main reasons people wrap rather than respray: the vinyl comes off and the paint underneath has been protected. Check your lease terms first, as some leases ask to be told.
- Do you wrap cars for businesses as well as individuals?
- Yes. Company car livery for estate agents, trades and sales teams is a large part of it, often alongside the vans and the premises signage, all from the same workshop.
