The Art of Vinyl Wrapping
Colour Change Wraps: Transform Your Vehicle, Your Way
A colour change vinyl wrap is one of the most effective and affordable ways to completely transform the look of your vehicle without committing to permanent paint. Whether you’re going for a sleek satin black, a high-gloss metallic, or a bold custom shade, our wraps give you the freedom to express your style while preserving the original paint underneath. The possibilities are endless—and fully reversible.
Why Choose a Colour Change Wrap?
Unlike paint, vinyl wraps offer a wide range of finishes—from matte, gloss, and satin to brushed metal, carbon fiber, and chrome. It’s more than just a new look; it’s a statement. Vinyl wraps can be installed quickly and, when done professionally, create a seamless, paint-like appearance. They're also an excellent choice for leased vehicles or for anyone wanting a temporary, damage-free way to refresh their ride.
While wraps don’t offer the same level of protection as Colour PPF, they still provide a layer of defense against minor abrasions, sun exposure, and surface wear. Best of all, the wrap can be removed at any time, revealing the untouched paint beneath.
Custom Wraps, Done Right
At Auto Lane Detail, we’re known for our attention to detail and high-quality wrap installations. Every vehicle goes through a multi-step preparation process to ensure the vinyl adheres properly and lasts:
Step 1: Wash – Full exterior wash to remove dirt and surface grime.
Step 2: Surface Prep – Iron removal, clay bar treatment, and degreasing.
Step 3: Panel Check – We inspect and prep each panel for proper adhesion.
Step 4: Installation – Our trained team carefully applies the film, trimming with precision and avoiding unnecessary seams.
Step 5: Post-Heat & Quality Check – We heat-set the film and inspect every inch to ensure durability and finish quality.
The Colour PPF Installation Journey
Colour PPF: The Ultimate in Style and Protection
Colour PPF (Paint Protection Film) is a revolutionary solution that merges the protective benefits of traditional clear PPF with the bold visual appeal of a coloured vinyl wrap. Unlike standard clear PPF, which is nearly invisible, colour PPF enhances your vehicle with rich, eye-catching finishes—available in gloss, satin, or matte—while delivering industry-leading protection against everyday damage. From rock chips and road debris to UV rays and chemical stains, this film does more than just look good—it safeguards your vehicle for the long haul.
Colour PPF vs. Vinyl Wrap: What’s the Difference?
Although both vinyl wraps and colour PPF can transform your vehicle’s appearance, they’re built for different purposes. Vinyl wraps are thinner and primarily cosmetic—ideal for temporary branding or aesthetic changes. Colour PPF, however, is significantly thicker (typically between 7 and 8.5 mils), and includes self-healing and hydrophobic properties that vinyl simply can’t match. This film is engineered to provide real-world protection while delivering a deep, factory-quality finish that lasts for years—not just months.
Engineered for Performance and Longevity
Colour PPF is built with advanced multi-layered technology. The top coat offers either a gloss or satin look with hydrophobic properties that repel water, dirt, and grime. Beneath that, a durable impact-resistant layer absorbs hits from gravel, salt, and debris. The film is self-healing—meaning light scratches disappear with the application of heat—and it's both UV and chemical resistant, preventing yellowing and degradation from sun exposure or cleaning agents. The adhesive layer ensures secure bonding with clean, residue-free removal if needed.
