Want a new colour without repainting? A full or partial vehicle wrap lets you completely transform your car's appearance using premium cast vinyl — no permanent modification, no damage to your factory paint, and the freedom to change colours again whenever you like. At Garage Knights, we install colour change wraps, partial wraps, and custom accent graphics using only premium cast films that look incredible and last 5-7 years.

Types of Vehicle Wraps
Colour Change Wraps
A full colour change wrap transforms your vehicle's entire exterior to a new colour and finish. Choose from hundreds of options — satin black, matte grey, gloss metallic blue, colour-shifting purple, and everything in between. The original paint stays untouched underneath, preserving your vehicle's value and giving you the freedom to change colours again in the future.
Partial Wraps & Accents
Partial wraps cover specific areas of your vehicle — roof, hood, mirrors, roof pillars, or custom sections. This is a popular option for adding contrast or accent colours, applying racing stripes, or creating a two-tone look. Partial wraps offer a dramatic visual change at a lower cost than a full wrap.
Vehicle wraps are fully reversible. When you're ready for a change — or when it's time to sell the vehicle — the wrap can be removed professionally to reveal the original paint in preserved condition underneath. It's the ultimate non-committal way to transform your vehicle.
Things to Consider
- The vehicle's paint must be in good condition before wrapping — peeling, flaking, or poorly repainted surfaces can cause adhesion issues
- Full wraps require badge and trim removal, which adds time but ensures a clean, seamless result
- Hand washing is recommended for wrapped vehicles — avoid automated car washes with brushes
- Vinyl wraps should be stored indoors or in shade when possible to maximise lifespan
- Wrap removal should be done professionally to avoid adhesive residue or paint damage

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a vehicle wrap last?
Premium cast vinyl wraps typically last 5-7 years with proper care. Lifespan depends on exposure to elements, how the vehicle is stored, and maintenance. Vehicles garaged overnight and hand-washed regularly will see the longest lifespan.
Will a wrap damage my paint?
No. When applied to paint in good condition and removed professionally, a wrap actually protects the underlying paint. The paint underneath is shielded from UV, scratches, and debris for the life of the wrap.
What's the difference between a wrap and paint protection film?
PPF is a clear, self-healing film designed to protect your existing paint colour from rock chips and scratches. A wrap is a coloured vinyl that changes the appearance of your vehicle. They serve different purposes — PPF protects, wraps transform.
Can you wrap a leased vehicle?
Yes. Wraps are fully reversible, making them ideal for leased vehicles. When the lease ends, the wrap can be removed to reveal the original paint, typically in better condition than if it had been left exposed.
How long does a full wrap installation take?
A full colour change wrap typically takes 3-5 days depending on vehicle size and complexity. This includes prep, badge removal, installation, post-heating, and quality inspection. We don't rush — the time ensures a flawless result.
