Every colour here is a film we fit at the Leeds unit. Before you choose, you see the real sample on your own car, in daylight, not on a screen.

02 / What it does

What do you want it to do?

Pick one / see how it's done

A full colour change in cast vinyl, laid panel by panel with the edges tucked out of sight, so it looks sprayed rather than stuck on. Your paint sits underneath, untouched, for as long as you keep the wrap.

Film comes off cleanly on factory paint. On a panel that has been resprayed or repaired, taking it off can lift the paint, so we test before we start and tell you if it is not safe.

Two details and we come back with a price the same working day.

04 / What's underneath

A wrap protects good paint. It won't hide bad paint.

Before we quote, we measure the paint's thickness and test the lacquer on every panel. If a panel has been resprayed, is flaking or is chipped, we tell you, and quote to put it right first rather than wrap over it. On sound factory paint, the film comes off years later the way it went on.

05 / How it's done

Six steps. No shortcuts.

  1. 01

    See it on your car

    Real film samples held against your car, in daylight, at the unit.

    No choosing from a phone screen.

  2. 02

    Deep clean

    Washed, decontaminated and wiped down, panel by panel.

    Film only bonds properly to properly clean paint.

  3. 03

    Strip, don't cut

    Handles, lights and badges come off so the film tucks in behind them.

    No blades on your paint.

  4. 04

    Wrap panel by panel

    Every edge wrapped round and tucked in.

    No stopped-short edges to catch and lift.

  5. 05

    Heat and settle

    Every edge post-heated, then left overnight to settle.

    That's what stops edges lifting months later.

  6. 06

    The handover

    We walk round it with you and hand over an aftercare card.

    Free check-up at two weeks, and a one-year fitting guarantee.

Bring the car to the unit and hold real film samples against it in daylight. We check the paint while you are here.

06 / What we won't do

Some jobs we turn down.

Saying no protects your car and our name. These four we turn down, every time.

  1. We won't: Cheap film on curves

    Budget film shrinks and lifts on bumpers and mirrors. We only fit cast vinyl, made to stretch round curves and stay there.

  2. We won't: A fixed price over the phone

    Photos get you a fair ballpark. Your fixed price comes once we've seen the paint in person, so it never changes on the day.

  3. We won't: Your car left outside

    Every night it's with us, it stays inside our locked unit in Leeds.

  4. We won't: Rushing the settle for a date

    If the film needs another night to settle, it gets another night. We'd rather move your collection than risk a lifting edge.

The unit Unit 7, Cross Green Close, Leeds LS9 0SG. Can't get to us? We'll collect your car from anywhere within 15 miles.

10 / Your turn

Questions first. Then your quote.

How long does a wrap last?

Colour-change film lasts up to seven years, and paint protection film up to ten. Keep it out of automatic brush washes and it will look right for all of that time.

Will it damage my paint?

Not on factory paint. The film comes off years later the way it went on. A panel that has been resprayed can lift, so we measure every panel before we quote and tell you if one isn't safe to wrap.

How long do you need the car?

From one day for a dechrome to five for a full colour change. We give you the dates with the quote, and if the film needs another night to settle, it gets one.

How do I wash it?

Hand wash only for the first week. After that, hand washing is best, keep a pressure washer away from the edges, and never use a brush car wash. We give you an aftercare card with the car.

Do I need to tell my insurer or the DVLA?

For a full colour change, yes, both. Your insurer needs to know, and the DVLA needs the new colour on your V5C logbook. A partial wrap, dechrome or clear film doesn't change the car's colour.

Can you wrap a leased car?

Yes. The film protects the paint underneath, and it comes off cleanly before the car goes back. Check your lease agreement allows it; most do.
