Car Wrapping for Otley and Wharfedale
Otley drivers know the roads up over the Chevin and out into the Dales. They’re great to drive, but they’re hard on paint. Wrapd Studios is about 20 minutes away, at Unit 7 Marrtree Business Park in Knaresborough, near Harrogate. We wrap, protect and tint cars in a climate-controlled studio, and we fit van livery for local businesses.

A new colour, with the paint kept safe underneath
A wrap gives you a completely new look and protects the original paint while it’s on. Gloss, satin, matt and colour-shift finishes are all available. When you sell, it comes off cleanly. Every panel is prepared first, and the edges are finished by hand.
A full wrap usually takes 2 to 10 days and lasts up to 5 years with sensible care.
PPF for Dales roads
Gritted lanes in winter and loose chippings in summer mean stone chips on the bonnet and bumper. Clear, self-healing paint protection film takes the hit. Many customers add PPF to the front of a new wrap or to the factory paint. Packages run from Full Front End to Full Coverage, with a warranty of up to 8–12 years, depending on the film. See paint protection film.
Van livery for Wharfedale businesses
Logos, lettering, part wraps and full printed livery for trades and local firms. We can help with the design. Every van is lettered or wrapped in our studio, and we’ll book drop-offs around your working week. Logos and decals start from £250 +VAT, and design from £150 +VAT. See fleet branding.
Tint and dechrome while it's with us
Add UK-legal window tinting (most cars take a few hours), or black out the chrome with a dechrome, in the same visit.

Films and warranties
A wrap and paint protection film do different jobs, so they’re made by different specialists and carry different cover.

Otley car wrapping FAQs
Should I add PPF to a new wrap?
If you regularly drive the Chevin or the Dales lanes, it’s worth considering. PPF on the front takes the stone chips, so the wrap or the paint underneath doesn’t.
How much does a wrap cost?
A full colour change starts from £2,000 +VAT and a printed or custom wrap from £3,000 +VAT. Your exact price depends on the car, the film and how much is covered.
How much is paint protection film?
Packages start from £1,200 +VAT for a Full Front End, from £1,500 +VAT for a Track Pack and from £3,500 +VAT for Full Coverage.
How long will you need my car?
Usually 2–10 days for a full wrap and 2–7 days for PPF. Your quote confirms the dates.
What warranty do I get?
Wraps carry a 3-year warranty and PPF up to 8–12 years, depending on the film. Manufacturer terms apply.
Which film brands do you fit?
For wraps we’re official installers of Avery Dennison, 3M, Arlon, Oracal, KPMF, PWF and APA. For PPF we fit Avery Dennison, 3M, Arlon, KPMF, PWF, XPEL, ProFilm, STEK and APA.
Do you wrap vans for Otley businesses?
Yes: logos, lettering, part wraps and full livery, all fitted in our studio near Harrogate. Logos and decals start from £250 +VAT and full printed livery from £3,000 +VAT, and we’ll book your vans in around your working week.
How do I look after a wrap through a Dales winter?
Rinse road salt and grit off regularly, then hand wash with a pH-neutral shampoo and a soft mitt. Avoid brush car washes and keep a pressure washer well back from the edges.
How long does a wrap last?
Up to 5 years with sensible care. We’ll go through aftercare with you when you collect.
Do you offer a courtesy car?
Yes. We can arrange an Enterprise rental while your car is with us; just ask when you book.
