Car Wrapping in Edinburgh…

A car wrap is a high-quality vinyl film applied to your vehicle’s exterior, changing its appearance without the need for a traditional paint job. The wrap is fully removable, offering a temporary or long-term solution to enhance your car’s look.

A car wrap from East Coast Customs typically lasts between 3 to 5 years, depending on factors like the quality of the vinyl, weather conditions, and how well the wrap is maintained. With proper care, your wrap can stay looking great for years to come.

No, wrapping your car is not the same as repainting it. While painting is a permanent change, a wrap is a non-permanent vinyl film that can be removed at any time without damaging the original paint. It’s also more cost-effective and can be customized with endless designs, textures, and colours.

For the best results, we recommend addressing any significant scratches, dents, or imperfections before wrapping. While minor imperfections may be covered by the wrap, larger issues could affect the vinyl’s adhesion or show through the wrap. Our team will be happy to assess your car’s surface and offer recommendations.

The cost of a car wrap varies depending on the size of your vehicle, the complexity of the design, and the type of vinyl you choose. On average, a full car wrap costs between £1,700 and £4,500. Partial wraps and custom designs are more affordable, and we’re happy to provide a tailored quote based on your needs.

While it’s technically possible to remove a car wrap yourself, we highly recommend leaving it to the professionals at East Coast Customs. Our team has the expertise and tools to remove the wrap safely, ensuring no damage to your vehicle’s paint and no adhesive residue left behind.

No, a professionally applied car wrap will not damage your paint. In fact, the wrap can actually protect your paint from minor scratches, UV rays, and environmental contaminants. When you’re ready to remove the wrap, the original paint will still be in pristine condition, provided it’s in good shape to begin with.

Caring for your wrapped car is simple! We recommend regular hand washing with mild soap and water. Avoid using abrasive materials or cleaning products with waxes or oils, as these can affect the vinyl. A touchless car wash is also a good option. If possible, park in shaded areas to reduce sun exposure and help prevent fading over time. The good new is we provide full aftercare instructions and offer detailing plans for added peace of mind.

The time required for a car wrap depends on the complexity of the design and the size of your vehicle. On average, a full wrap takes between 5 to 7 days. Smaller or partial wraps can often be completed in 1 to 2 days. We’ll give you a more precise timeline once we know the details of your project.

In most cases, a car wrap will not affect your vehicle’s manufacturer warranty. Since the wrap is removable, it does not permanently alter the car’s body or paint. However, if you have concerns, we recommend checking with your dealership to ensure there are no specific restrictions.
