Colour change wraps, fitted down the road
A wrap changes your car’s colour without a respray and protects the paint underneath. It also comes off cleanly when you sell. Choose from gloss, satin, matt, metallic and colour-shift finishes. We strip down the parts that need it, prepare every panel and finish the edges by hand.
A full wrap usually takes 2 to 10 days and lasts up to 5 years with sensible care.

Living in town has one advantage: you can bring the car round and we’ll price it with it in front of us. Or send the make and model and we’ll quote by email. As a starting point, all prices are from the amounts shown below, +VAT:

Paint protection film
Clear, self-healing film that takes stone chips, light scratches and road salt, so your paint doesn’t. Choose Full Front End, Track Pack or Full Coverage, each with a warranty of up to 8–12 years, depending on the film. PPF usually takes 2 to 7 days. See paint protection film.
Window tinting
UK-legal tint for privacy, less glare and a cooler cabin. The windscreen must let through at least 75% of light and the front side windows at least 70%. Most cars take a few hours. See window and light tinting.
Dechrome, calipers and body kits
Black out the chrome trims, grilles and badges (dechroming). Paint your brake calipers, or have a splitter or full body kit fitted and aligned. Many customers combine these with a wrap in one visit.
Films you can see before you choose
Being on your doorstep means you can come and look at real film on real cars before deciding.

Knaresborough car wrapping FAQs
Can I call in to see the studio?
Yes. Ring 01423 423 449 before you come so someone is free to show you finished cars and film samples.
How much does a car wrap cost in Knaresborough?
A full colour change starts from £2,000 +VAT in a standard gloss, satin or matt film, and printed or custom wraps from £3,000 +VAT. Larger cars and specialist films are quoted individually.
How long does a full wrap take?
Between 2 and 10 days, depending on the size of the car and how many parts need removing. Your quote confirms the dates.
What warranty comes with a wrap?
3-year warranty on wraps. Manufacturer terms apply, and we’ll tell you which warranty applies before you book.
Which wrap films do you use?
We’re official installers of Avery Dennison, 3M, Arlon, Oracal, KPMF, PWF and APA wrap films, and we keep samples at the studio so you can compare them on your car.
Can I add PPF or ceramic coating to my wrap?
Yes. Ceramic coating over a new wrap starts from £200 +VAT and makes it easier to keep clean. If you want stone-chip protection too, PPF packages start from £1,200 +VAT for a Full Front End. On paintwork, our ceramic packages start from £400 +VAT (Bronze), from £600 +VAT (Silver) and from £800 +VAT (Gold).
Can you do a wrap, tint and dechrome in one booking?
Yes. We schedule the jobs together so the car comes in once, and we’ll confirm the total time with your quote.
Is a wrap safe for my paint?
On original factory paint in good condition, yes. The film shields the paint while it’s on and peels away cleanly when you want it off. We check resprayed panels before starting.
Do I need to tell the DVLA about a colour change?
Yes. If the wrap changes the main colour of the car, update your V5C with the DVLA, and tell your insurer too.
Do you offer a courtesy car?
Yes, through Enterprise. Ask when you book and we’ll arrange it for the days your car is with us.
