Wraps, partial wraps, colour changes and signage for cars, vans, utes, trucks and trailers, all fitted at our Kilkenny workshop. Start with a photo of the vehicle and we'll tell you which option suits it.
Each service has its own page with photos of real jobs and the options that suit that vehicle.
Business cars get full or partial wraps that put the brand on every panel. Private owners mostly come to us for a colour change, where the whole car is covered in a single colour of gloss, satin or matte vinyl and the factory paint stays protected underneath.
Usually includes: full or partial printed wraps, colour-change film, logos and lettering.
Trade vehicles spend the day parked in driveways and on job sites, which makes them the cheapest advertising a tradie owns. We fit everything from a logo and phone number on the doors to a full wrap across the body, rear doors and canopy.
Usually includes: logos, contact details, rear door graphics, tray sides and canopy panels.
A truck body is the biggest surface you'll ever put a logo on. The design has to read from a distance and work around rivets, roller doors and panel joins, so we plan the layout around the body before anything is printed.
Usually includes: cab door signage, box body graphics and contact details on the rear doors.
A wrapped trailer works for you while it's parked, whether that's outside a job, at a market or at an event. Box and enclosed trailers give you flat sides that take large graphics well.
Usually includes: side and rear graphics, logos and contact details.
Cut vinyl lettering and logos are the simplest way to put your business on a vehicle. They suit a new business, a single work car, or anyone who wants the vehicle identified without changing how it looks.
Usually includes: business name, logo, phone number and website in cut vinyl.
The three levels of coverage work on any vehicle. This is how they differ.
| Option | What's covered | Best for | Design freedom | Paint protection | Relative cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Decals and lettering | Cut vinyl on the doors, rear and sometimes the bonnet | Single work vehicles and new businesses | Solid colours and shapes only | Only under the lettering | Lowest |
| Partial wrap | Printed vinyl over part of the body, often the rear half or sides | White or light vans and utes | Full colour print that blends into the paint | On the wrapped panels | Middle |
| Full wrap | Every painted panel | Strong brand colours, colour changes and resale protection | Anything, across the whole vehicle | All painted panels | Highest |
Our view: on a white van, a well-designed partial wrap is usually the best value. The van's own paint becomes part of the design, so you get most of the presence of a full wrap for a lot less. A full wrap earns its cost when the colour of the vehicle is your brand, or when you want the whole vehicle a different colour. For a car wrap in Adelaide with a colour change, full coverage is the only option.
A vehicle wrap isn't a flyer stretched over a van. People see it for two or three seconds, often from the next lane or across a car park, so the only things that need to land are who you are, what you do and how to call you. Everything else is decoration.
The vehicle itself also shapes the design. Door handles, fuel caps, window rubbers and panel gaps all cut through the graphics, and a phone number that runs across a sliding door will be split in half every time the door opens. Our design proofs are laid over a template of your exact make and model, so those problems show up on screen instead of on the finished vehicle.
Windows are the other thing to plan for. Rear and side windows are often left clear for safety and visibility, so the most important information needs to sit on solid panels. That's the kind of decision that comes from more than fifty years of making signs in Adelaide.
Every job is priced individually, because two vehicles that look similar can take very different amounts of work. The biggest factor is how much of the vehicle is covered: lettering on two doors is a small job, while a full wrap means every panel, edge and recess.
Size and shape come next. A high-roof van has more surface than a small hatchback, and deep recesses, complex bumpers and tight curves take longer to fit than flat sides. Design work adds to the first vehicle, especially if the layout has to be adapted from a logo that was never drawn with a vehicle in mind.
If the vehicle already has signage or an old wrap, we remove it before fitting the new graphics. Fresh vinyl peels off quickly, while vinyl that has sat in the Adelaide sun for years can take much longer, so mention it when you ask for a quote. Wrapping several vehicles with the same design brings the cost per vehicle down, since the design is done once.

Yes. Send us your logo as a vector file (AI, EPS, PDF or SVG) along with any brand colour codes, and the design proof will show how it sits on your vehicle before anything is printed.
Yes. We take off old lettering, decals and wraps before fitting the new graphics, then clean the panels so the new vinyl bonds properly. Old vinyl that has been baked by the sun takes longer to remove, so let us know about it when you ask for a quote.
Yes. Plenty of businesses start with door lettering and move to a partial or full wrap once the business grows. If we design the signage with that in mind, the logo and layout carry over to the bigger job. See vehicle signage and decals.
Yes. Private owners mostly come to us for colour changes in gloss, satin or matte. The vinyl and fitting are the same as on our commercial work. See car wraps.
Send a photo of the vehicle and your logo, and we'll come back with a design proof and a fixed price.
