Wrap options
Choose the right level of coverage
The right option depends on what the vehicle is for, its base colour and how long it needs to last. Every option uses 3M film in a 3M Matched Component System combination.

Full commercial wraps
Every external panel covered. Maximum impact and maximum paint protection.
See full wraps
Partial wraps
Sides and rear in your brand, often reading as a full wrap for less.

How it works
From survey to handover
Design, print and installation are all done by RGVA, so one team holds the specification from the first visual to the last vehicle.
Survey and specification
We confirm the vehicle, coverage and film, and check the paint. On lease vehicles we check the handback terms now, not after.
Design
Our in-house designers work to your brand guidelines or build the design from scratch. You approve a visual of your actual vehicle first.
Print and production
Printed in house on HP Latex, laminated, cut and checked against the approved visual.
Preparation
The vehicle is decontaminated and, on full wraps, bumpers, lights, mirrors, handles and trims come off so the film finishes into the panel edges.
Installation
At our Maidstone facility, at your depot, or at the converter or dealer.
Two week check
A free check two weeks after fitting, once the vinyl has settled and been out in the weather.
About RGVA
Vehicle graphics specialists since 2001
RGVA works only on vehicle graphics. We wrap cars, vans, trucks, trailers and complete commercial fleets, from a single colour change to a national rollout of several hundred vehicles, from our production facility in Maidstone, Kent, with mobile installation teams covering the UK.
We do not outsource print or installation, which is why we can hold one specification across a fleet and match a replacement panel to a vehicle wrapped years earlier.

Design, HP Latex print and installation all in house, by 3M Approved Vehicle Wrappers.
Wrap options
What each option is for
Full commercial wraps
Every external panel covered in printed 3M film, finished into the panel edges so it reads as paint rather than a sticker. Used for high-impact branding where the base colour would otherwise show through.
- 3M IJ180 with 3M 8518 overlaminate
- Maximum coverage and paint protection
- One to two days on a large panel van

Partial wraps
Both sides and the rear in your brand colours and artwork, with the roof, bonnet and remaining panels left in the original paint. On a white or light vehicle it often reads as a full wrap from the roadside, at a lower cost.
- Selected panels in printed 3M film
- About one day on a medium van
- Good for mixed fleets on a budget
For vans specifically, see van graphics and van wraps.

Cut vinyl graphics
Logo, contact details, website and any legal or safety markings, cut from pre-pigmented film and applied directly. The lowest cost option and the standard for fleets supplied in one base colour.
- 3M 50 Series pre-pigmented film
- About half a day on a small van
- Chapter 8 markings and non-PVC film where required

Car colour change wraps
Full colour change in 3M 2080 Series, with the car professionally stripped down first so the film finishes properly. Every car wrapped in 2080 Series carries an eight year warranty backed by 3M.
- Silver: full external wrap, 3 to 4 days
- Gold: adds the door shuts, 4 to 5 days
- Platinum: adds the backs of the doors and a full valet, 4 to 5 days

Prices
Vehicle wrap prices
We publish prices because most operators want to know whether a wrap is a four or five figure decision before they speak to anyone. Car prices are starting prices excluding VAT, in 3M 2080 Series, on a vehicle in sound, unmodified factory paint.
| Silver service | Full external wrap, from £2,250 + VAT |
|---|---|
| Gold service | Including door shuts, from £2,950 + VAT |
| Platinum service | Including door shuts and backs of doors, from £3,500 + VAT |
Commercial work: time on site
| Cut vinyl graphics, small van | Half a day |
|---|---|
| Partial wrap, medium van | One day |
| Full wrap, large panel van | One to two days |
| Rigid, trailer and HGV work | Priced per asset against your vehicle schedule |
Fleets of ten vehicles or more are quoted per asset and are normally cheaper per vehicle than a single unit. Send us the vehicle or the fleet list or call 01622 673797.
Straight answers
Vehicle wrapping questions
How much does vehicle wrapping cost?
A full colour change wrap on a car starts at £2,250 plus VAT for our Silver service, £2,950 plus VAT for Gold including door shuts, and £3,500 plus VAT for Platinum including the backs of the doors, all based on 3M 2080 Series vinyl. Commercial vehicle work is priced by coverage and vehicle size, and fleets of ten vehicles or more are quoted per asset against your vehicle schedule, which is normally cheaper per vehicle than a single unit.
How long does a vehicle wrap take to fit?
A full colour change wrap on a car takes three to four days for our Silver service and four to five days for Gold or Platinum, depending on the number of doors. Cut vinyl graphics on a van take around half a day and a full van wrap takes one to two days. Fleet rollouts are scheduled around your operation: we re-liveried 96 Müller trailers in three weeks and are moving more than 1,400 Sysco GB vehicles to their new livery in 12 months.
How long does a vehicle wrap last?
A professionally applied wrap lasts at least five years. RGVA warranties run from a minimum of three years to a maximum of eight years depending on the film specified. Vehicles wrapped in 3M 2080 Series vinyl carry an eight year warranty backed by 3M itself, which only Gold and Platinum 3M Select Partners are permitted to offer.
Will a wrap damage my vehicle’s paintwork?
No, provided the original paintwork is sound and has bonded correctly. Professionally applied cast vinyl removes cleanly from factory paint, which is what makes wrapping safe on lease and contract hire vehicles. If the vehicle already has stone chips, abrasions, rust patches or a previous respray, removal can lift loose paint or lacquer, so we check paint condition at survey and tell you before quoting.
Can you wrap a leased or contract hire vehicle?
Yes. Cast vinyl is designed to be removed without damaging sound paintwork, so wrapping is routine on lease vehicles and the paint underneath is protected for the life of the contract. Check your lease agreement for any specific condition on livery, and we will confirm the paint condition at survey before work starts.
Do I need to tell the DVLA and my insurer that my vehicle is wrapped?
Yes to both. You must tell the DVLA if a wrap changes the colour of the vehicle, even where the change is temporary. You should also tell your insurance company that the vehicle has been wrapped, so that your cover is not affected.
What is the difference between a full wrap and a partial wrap?
A full wrap covers every external panel and gives maximum impact and maximum paint protection. A partial wrap covers selected panels, usually both sides and the rear, leaving the roof, bonnet and remaining panels in the original paint. On a white or light coloured vehicle a partial wrap often reads as a full wrap from the roadside at a materially lower cost.
Do you wrap vehicles outside Kent?
Yes. RGVA produces graphics at its facility in Maidstone, Kent, and operates mobile installation teams covering the whole of the UK. We regularly fit on site at customer depots, at van conversion companies and at manufacturer facilities, including during the PDA process at Mercedes and Scania for the Howard Tenens fleet.
