Ways to changethe look
Colour change
A full wrap in Avery Dennison Supreme Wrapping Film, a cast vinyl that comes in a wide range of colours, finishes and textures. The original paint stays untouched under the vinyl, so when you come to sell there's no respray to declare.
Pinstripes
A thin line along a tank or a body line, either painted freehand with a long-haired brush or cut from vinyl and laid on.
Printed graphics
The graphic is laid out to fit your panels and printed with a clear protective layer on top, then we cut and fit it so the pattern lines up across the panel gaps.
Window tint
Avery Dennison automotive window film goes on the inside of the glass, cut to each window. It cuts heat and glare and blocks UV, and the non-metal ranges leave phone and GPS signal alone. We only fit it where the law permits, so tell us what you drive and we'll tell you what's allowed on it. The ranges are listed below.
Chrome delete and blackout
Window surrounds, grilles and trim covered in gloss or satin black film. The chrome is still there underneath, so it can go back to stock if you change your mind or sell the car.
Avery Dennisonwindow films
There are eight ranges, and the figures below are Avery Dennison's own. VLT is how much visible light the film lets through. The full range is on Avery Dennison's site.
Supreme Ceramic
Nano-ceramic film with strong heat rejection, 99% UV rejection, less glare and no signal interference. The India range is SC 40, SC 60 and SC 80.
Supreme Ceramic IR Pro
The step up from Supreme Ceramic, built to reject more infrared heat: over 95% IR rejection and 99% UV, with no signal interference. It comes in 35%, 50%, 65% and 75% VLT.
Shield IR 75
Virtually clear, for owners who want the glass to stay looking untinted. Up to 83% selective infrared rejection, more than 99% of UV blocked, and no interference with electronics.
Supreme Shield IR
Heat rejection with a safety construction that helps hold the glass together if it shatters. It stays optically clear and blocks more than 99.9% of UV.
NR Nano Ceramic IR
A deep graphite look, with up to 87% selective infrared rejection, more than 99% UV protection and up to 93% less glare.
NR Pro
Non-reflective film for heat and UV, in a warm graphite shade.

Non-reflective film for UV and solar protection, which also slows down the sun fading the cabin.

Stripes by brushor in vinyl
Vinyl stripes come off a plotter at one fixed width. A line painted with a brush changes a little as it follows the curve of the tank, getting slightly wider in some places and finer in others.
We do both. A painted line is there for good, and a vinyl one can be peeled off again later, so the choice comes down to whether you want the stripe to stay. The note below goes through the difference.
Read the noteWhat to expectfrom a wrap
To go back to the original colour, we warm the vinyl and peel it off one panel at a time, then clean off any adhesive left on the paint.
We cut each piece for the panel it goes on and leave extra at the edges to fold round behind it.
Chrome is hard to wrap because it's so smooth that the film barely grips, so we start in the middle and work outwards, keeping the film warm and pulling it as little as possible.

Wrapped andstriped bikes
The last bike through the studio was a KTM in a custom wrap. Photos of it to follow.
See the workWraps andstripes.
Does a wrap ruin the paint under it?
Not factory paint. The vinyl sits on the clear coat and peels away without lifting it, but paint that's been resprayed or is already flaking can come away with it, so we check each panel before starting.
Are the pinstripes printed?
Not printed. A stripe is painted with a brush, or cut from vinyl if you want one you can peel off again later. Tell us which when you book.
How do I wash a wrapped car?
By hand, the same way as a coated car. The spinning brushes in an automatic wash can catch the edges of the vinyl, and our aftercare page goes through washing at home.
The same colour can look quite different in gloss, satin and matte.
