Discover wrapping ↓A new identity
A colour-change wrap is for the owner who has found the right car—but not necessarily the right colour, finish or visual specification.
Premium automotive vinyl is formed over the original painted panels, allowing the vehicle to be transformed without the permanence and disruption of a full respray. The result depends on preparation, material choice, edge finishing and the condition of the paint beneath.
Choose by buying situation
The right recommendation starts with the change you want—not a catalogue of vinyl. Choose the situation closest to yours to see the likely route, starting price and studio time.
I love the car, but not the colour.
Complete colour transformation
A premium full wrap changes the entire character of the vehicle without committing it to a permanent respray.
Likely scope
New or used cars where the specification is right but the factory colour is not.
Reversible personalisation
Choose a completely different colour or finish while retaining the sound original paint beneath for a future owner—or your next idea.
Likely scope
Owners who enjoy changing a car's appearance without permanently altering its factory specification.
Black pack, dechrome and accents
A considered black pack, roof, mirror, trim or dechrome treatment can remove visual clutter and make the original design feel more resolved.
Likely scope
Performance cars that need a cleaner, darker or more aggressive factory-style appearance.
Premium+ and complex finishes
Satin, matte, colour-shift, textured, chrome-effect and complex films demand more preparation, more time and an installer who understands their limits.
Likely scope
Supercars, show cars and owners seeking a rare or technically demanding finish.
Professional removal and rewrap
The existing film, its age and the paint beneath must be assessed before removal. We can then prepare the vehicle for a clean replacement wrap.
Likely scope
Older installations, damaged panels and cars ready for a second transformation.
Prices are starting points and depend on vehicle size, material, complexity, paint condition, preparation and requested coverage. Every final quotation follows a vehicle and finish assessment.
The honest assessment
Vinyl will not repair stone chips, flatten dents or stabilise failing lacquer. It follows the surface it is applied to. That is why every serious wrap starts with a paint and panel inspection—not a colour swatch.
The ideal base for a reversible transformation when it is sound and correctly prepared.
Repainted panels need closer assessment because adhesion and safe removal can vary.
Visible defects may require repair before film is fitted; vinyl should not be used as filler.
Choose PPF—not vinyl—when stone-chip and impact protection is the primary objective.
Before and after
Six of Adept's clearest prestige transformations, including Lamborghini, Range Rover, Maserati, Mercedes-AMG and GT-R. Each one uses two visibly different finishes and the closest available camera angle.
Original specification
Satin black → vivid Verde green
Genuine Adept project photography. Each pair uses the closest available camera viewpoint and has been reframed so the change reads car-for-car.
Dechrome and black packs
You may love the factory colour and still dislike the bright window surrounds, grille details or roof rails. A considered black pack can make the car look lower, cleaner and more purposeful without changing every painted panel.
Not every trim shape or surface should be wrapped. We inspect adhesion, edges and existing damage first, then price the exact areas you want changed.
Plan a black-pack treatment →Door shuts and returns
A standard colour-change wrap covers the exterior painted panels. If the new colour contrasts strongly with the original paint, the factory colour may still be visible inside the door openings. Extended returns or wrapped door shuts create a more complete transformation.
Exterior painted panels with detailed edges and agreed returns.
Adds agreed inner returns and door-shut areas where practical.
Quoted after a vehicle inspection
Choose the finish
Gloss level changes how the body shape reads, how the car photographs and how it needs to be maintained. Compare real swatches in the studio.
High clarity and deep colour for a finish closest to conventional paint.
A softer sheen that reveals body lines without the flatness of full matte.
A deliberately flat, architectural appearance with more particular aftercare.
Colour-shift, textured, carbon and chrome-effect films for selective projects.
The installation process
The quality difference is found in the work most people never see: preparation, tension control, recesses, joins, returns and post-heating.
We establish the look you want, how long you plan to keep it and whether a full change or considered details make more sense.
Paint condition, previous repairs, chips, lacquer and panel complexity are assessed before material is ordered.
The car is washed, decontaminated and prepared panel by panel. Trims are removed only where safe and useful to the finish.
Film is formed and applied inside the controlled bay, with stretch, alignment and joins managed around each panel.
Edges, returns, recesses and complex details are refined, post-heated and checked under specialist lighting.
The vehicle is inspected after curing and supplied with material-specific warranty and aftercare guidance.
Yiannimize · Wrap Rated
Yianni visited Adept and inspected the environment, installation standard and finishing details. The published review is qualitative, so every verdict below is taken from his recorded assessment—without inventing a numerical score.
“The moment I walked through the door, I was very impressed.”
“It gives me so much pleasure to see work to this standard. That's attention to detail. Based on the fact this is a wrap company—good job, guys.”
“Not all wrap companies are good, but whoever wrapped this—you're safe to take your car there, and I'd recommend them.”
Independent recognition is useful. Seeing the work in person is better.
Arrange a studio visit →Materials without compromise
Adept works across the leading automotive-film manufacturers rather than forcing every project into one system. The vehicle, finish, complexity and intended life of the wrap determine the recommendation.
Physical swatches available to compare under studio lighting in Cheltenham.

Arrange a studio visit ↗Questions, answered
A professional consultation should explain limitations as clearly as possibilities. These are the questions worth asking before you book.
A premium full colour-change wrap currently starts from £1,960 + VAT. Premium+ and specialist projects start from £2,490 + VAT. Vehicle size, material, complexity, paint condition, removal work and door shuts or returns can change the final quotation.
Most premium full wraps take around five to seven working days. Specialist materials, complex vehicles, existing-wrap removal or additional returns can extend the installation to seven to ten days or more.
High-quality automotive film is designed to be removable from sound factory paint. Risk is higher where panels have poor repairs, weak lacquer, corrosion or unknown paint history. We inspect the vehicle first and recommend professional removal when the time comes.
No. Vinyl follows the surface beneath it, so chips, dents, deep scratches and failing lacquer can remain visible or compromise adhesion. We will identify preparation or repair work before agreeing the installation.
Longevity depends on the selected film, exposure, colour, panel position and aftercare. Eligible materials can carry warranty cover of up to five years, subject to the manufacturer's terms and the specific installation.
No. Vinyl wrapping is primarily used to change colour and finish. It offers limited separation from weathering and light surface wear, but it is not self-healing and does not provide the same stone-chip protection as PPF.
Yes. Window surrounds, grille details, roof rails, mirror caps and selected exterior trim can often be wrapped in gloss, satin or matte black. The exact scope depends on the shape, condition and material of each trim piece, so black-pack and dechrome projects are inspected and quoted individually.
Yes, where the vehicle and material make it practical. Door shuts and extended returns require additional dismantling, material and installation time, so they are assessed and priced separately.
Yes. Visit the Cheltenham studio by appointment to compare physical swatches, gloss levels, textures and current installations under proper lighting before choosing the finish.
