Colour Change Car Wraps in Manchester — A Smarter Alternative to a Respray
Want a completely different look for your car without the permanence — or cost — of a traditional respray? A colour change car wrap from Signs Company Manchester gives you a stunning new finish in any colour or texture you choose, with the added benefit of protecting your original paintwork underneath.
What Is a Colour Change Wrap?
A colour change car wrap uses premium cast vinyl film — applied panel by panel over your car’s existing paintwork — to completely transform its appearance. Unlike paint, vinyl can be removed years later leaving factory paint in perfect condition. It’s the finish choice of car enthusiasts, business owners who lease vehicles, and anyone who simply wants a unique look that stands out.
Finish Options Available
We work with Avery Dennison, 3M, and Metamark premium cast films offering an enormous range of finishes:
| Finish Type | Description | Popularity |
|---|---|---|
| Gloss | Classic high-gloss finish, enhances factory look | ★★★★☆ |
| Satin | Semi-sheen, between matte and gloss — very popular | ★★★★★ |
| Matte | Flat, stealth appearance — premium look | ★★★★★ |
| Metallic / Pearl | Shimmer effect, colour-shift in sunlight | ★★★★☆ |
| Chrome | Mirror-like, highly reflective — show cars only | ★★★☆☆ |
| Carbon fibre | Textured weave effect for panels or full wrap | ★★★★☆ |
| Brushed metal | Aluminium brushed effect on any colour | ★★★☆☆ |
How Much Does a Colour Change Wrap Cost?
Prices vary depending on vehicle size, finish type, and complexity. As a guide for Manchester customers:
| Vehicle Type | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Small car (e.g. Ford Fiesta, VW Polo) | £1,200–£1,800 |
| Medium car (e.g. Golf, BMW 3 Series) | £1,500–£2,200 |
| Large car / SUV (e.g. BMW X5, Audi Q7) | £1,800–£2,800 |
| Sports / supercar | £2,500–£4,500+ |
| Chrome finish (any size) | Add £800–£1,500 |
All prices include full vehicle wrap with panel removal where required for edges, and professional installation at our workshop. Design and colour consultations are always free.
Is a Wrap Better Than a Respray?
For most customers, yes — for a number of reasons. A quality respray in a non-standard colour will cost £2,000–£6,000+ and is permanent. It also means any paint chips or stone damage become more difficult and expensive to repair. A wrap, by contrast, costs less for most cars, is fully reversible, protects the original paint (maintaining resale value), and can be updated if you change your mind.
Wraps are especially popular with lease car owners, who can return the vehicle in factory condition simply by having the wrap removed before lease end — something that’s impossible with paint.
