Colour change wraps
Car wrapping,
done properly.
A wrap is the cheapest way to change everything about how a car looks, and the only one you can undo. Hundreds of colours, every finish, and the paint underneath comes out the way it went in.
A colour change is the whole car in a new colour - gloss, satin, matte, or one of the shift films that reads differently depending on where you are standing. Underneath it the original paint is untouched, so the car can go back to what it was whenever you want.
The difference between a wrap that lasts and one that lifts at the edges is how much of the car comes apart before the film goes on. Handles, badges, lights, sometimes the doors themselves. Film wrapped into the shuts instead of cut at them is what stops a wrap looking like a wrap.

What you can have
How far it goes is your call.
-
Full colour change
Every painted panel, wrapped and tucked. The car reads as that colour from any angle, including with the doors open.
-
Part wraps
A bonnet, a roof, a set of mirrors. The cheapest way to break up a colour, and usually a few hours rather than a week.
-
Printed designs
Artwork printed onto the film and laid to a layout drawn up first, so you see how it sits on the car before anything is installed.
-
Colour-shift and specialty film
Films that move through two or three colours as the light changes, plus chrome, brushed metal and textured finishes.
The work
Car wrapping out of
the Cranbourne workshop.
Areas
Car wrapping near you.
The same workshop and the same method, wherever the car is coming from.
How it goes
What a week in the workshop looks like.
-
01
Strip
Handles, badges, lights and trim come off, and on a full job so do the doors. Every edge the film has to tuck behind is an edge that has to come off first.
-
02
Clean
The panels are decontaminated and wiped down. Anything left under the film is there for the life of the wrap.
-
03
Wrap
Film laid panel by panel, heated into the curves and tucked into the shuts rather than trimmed at them.
-
04
Rebuild and post-heat
The car goes back together and every edge is post-heated, which is what sets the film and stops it pulling back.
Questions we get asked.
Will a wrap damage my paint?
No. Film comes off clean and the paint underneath is in the condition it went on in - which is why a wrap is also a way of protecting original paint on a car you intend to keep. Paint that was already flaking or has been resprayed badly is the exception, and we will tell you before we start.
How long does a wrap last?
Several years on a car that is garaged and washed by hand. Horizontal panels - roof, bonnet, boot - take the most sun and are always the first to go. Matte and satin films need a bit more care than gloss.
Can you wrap over damage?
Film follows what is underneath it, so dents and deep chips still read through. Anything that needs fixing is best fixed first.
Can I take it through a car wash?
Hand wash it. Automatic washes with brushes catch edges, and that is where a wrap starts to lift.
Book the car in.
Tell us the make, model and what you are after. We will come back with a price and a rough date.
