Vehicle Wraps Melbourne: Colour Change, Ute & Car Wrapping

Wrapify designs and installs vehicle wraps for cars, utes, vans and fleets from our studio at 23 Ramsay Street, Spotswood. Full colour-change wraps start from $4,500 + GST, last 5–7 years and come off without damaging your paint. Read our vehicle wrap cost guide for a full breakdown.

Every install is supervised by founder Will, a qualified signwriter with more than 10 years in vehicle wrapping. Commercial-grade film only, built for Australian sun.

What Is a Vehicle Wrap?

A vehicle wrap is a layer of adhesive vinyl applied over your factory paint. It changes your car’s colour or finish without a respray, and peels off cleanly when you want your original paint back.

Choose a full colour change, a partial wrap (roof, bonnet, mirrors, accents) or full fleet branding. A quality wrap lasts 5–7 years in Melbourne conditions and protects the paint underneath from UV, light scratches and stone chips.

Vehicle Wrap Finishes We Offer

Gloss: A deep, paint-like shine. The closest look to a factory respray.

Matte: Flat, modern and understated. No reflections, all attitude.

Satin: Sits between gloss and matte. A soft sheen that shows off body lines.

Metallic & Chrome: Colour-shifting metallics and mirror chrome for maximum impact.

Carbon Fibre & Textured: Carbon, brushed metal and textured films for roofs, bonnets and trims.

Vehicle Wrap or PPF: Which Do You Need?

A vehicle wrap changes your colour or finish and adds a light protective layer. Paint protection film (PPF) is a clear, thicker film designed to protect your factory paint from stone chips and scratches without changing how it looks. See our full cost breakdown.

Want a new look? Wrap it. Want to keep your paint perfect? Choose PPF. Want both? Many clients wrap the car and add PPF to high-impact areas like the bonnet and front bumper. Weighing up coatings too? Compare ceramic coating vs PPF.

Why Wrap Your Vehicle?

A New Look Without a Respray

Change colour or finish for a fraction of the cost and downtime of a quality paint job.

It Protects Your Paint

The film shields factory paint from UV, light scratches and stone chips while it’s on.

Commercial-grade films only

Engineered for Australian UV and daily driving, not budget vinyl that fades in a year.

Fully Reversible

Professionally removed, a wrap comes off cleanly. Your original paint is underneath, untouched.

Helps Hold Resale Value

Protected original paint means a better-looking car when it’s time to sell or hand back a lease.

FAQs
How Do I Care For My Vehicle Wrap?

Wait 7 days before the first wash, then hand wash with mild, pH-neutral soap and a soft mitt. Avoid harsh chemicals and keep high-pressure jets away from the edges. See our aftercare page for full instructions.

Can You Wrap A Car With Chips Or Damaged Paint?

Vinyl follows the surface underneath, so chips, rust and dents will still show and may affect how the wrap holds. We recommend repairing major damage first, and we’ll check your vehicle during your consultation.

Do I Need To Tell My Insurer About A Colour Change?

Yes, it’s worth letting your insurer know so the wrap is noted on your policy. It’s also a good idea to check whether your registration details need updating with the new colour.

Do Chrome And Specialty Wraps Last As Long?

Not quite. Chrome and some specialty films typically last 2–3 years, compared with 5–7 for standard gloss, matte and satin wraps. We’ll talk you through the trade-offs at your consultation.

Can I Wrap A Leased Or Financed Car?

In most cases, yes. Because a wrap is fully removable, it’s a popular choice for leased and novated vehicles. Check your lease agreement first, and we can remove the wrap before the car is returned.

Is Wrapping A Car Cheaper Than A Respray?

Usually, yes. A quality wrap generally costs less than a respray of the same standard, it’s faster to complete, and it can be removed later to reveal your original paint, which helps protect resale value.

Can I Wrap Just Part Of My Car?

Yes. Popular partial wraps include roofs, bonnets, mirrors and chrome deletes, where shiny trim is wrapped in gloss or satin black. They’re a more affordable way to change your car’s look.

What Wrap Finishes Do You Offer?

We offer gloss, matte and satin colour-change wraps, plus metallic, chrome, carbon fibre and textured finishes. We’ll bring samples to your consultation so you can see each one in real light.

How Much Does A Vehicle Wrap Cost?

Colour-change vehicle wraps start from $4,500 + GST. Final pricing depends on vehicle size, wrap type and design complexity. Every quote is free and tailored to your vehicle and budget.

How Long Does A Vehicle Wrap Take?

Typically 2–5 days, depending on the vehicle and wrap detail. We work efficiently to get you back on the road fast.

How Long Does A Vehicle Wrap Last?

With proper care, wraps usually last 5–7 years, maintaining their finish and performance over time.

Will A Wrap Damage My Paint?

No - wraps actually protect your original paint from scratches, UV damage, and everyday wear. When removed professionally, your paint remains intact.

What’s The Difference Between A Vehicle Wrap And PPF?

A vehicle wrap changes your car's colour or finish and offers light protection. PPF (paint protection film) is a clear film focused purely on protecting your factory paint - many clients combine both for style
and long-term protection.

Do You Wrap Fleet And Commercial Vehicles?

Yes - we run fleet branding programmes for local businesses, from single utes to multi-vehicle fleets, all completed in-house at our Spotswood workshop.
