Colour Change Wraps

Full vehicle colour transformation in matte, gloss, satin, or finishes you will not find in any factory paint catalogue.

Tired of looking at the same colour every time you walk up to your car? A colour change wrap fixes that without touching the factory paint underneath. Matte black, loud gloss, subtle satin, specialty effects most people have never heard of. Our Auckland vehicle wrapping team does full vehicle colour transformations at our Swanson workshop using cast vinyl films from brands that actually perform in New Zealand conditions.

What are Colour Change Wraps?

A colour change means wrapping every visible panel on the vehicle. Complex curves, door jambs, mirrors, all the awkward bits that separate a good job from a hack job. Getting it right takes proper car wrap technique, careful surface prep, and vinyl that is up to the task. Cut corners on any of those and the result shows it.

We offer the full colour change package:

  • Colour and finish consultation with physical samples
  • Vehicle inspection and surface preparation
  • Sourcing from 3M, Avery Dennison, Hexis and other leading manufacturers
  • Panel-by-panel installation by experienced wrappers
  • Door jamb and detail finishing
  • Post-install inspection and care guidance

For custom artwork and printed designs, we bring the same attention to detail that colour change work demands.

Auckland car enthusiasts and everyday vehicle owners come to Falcon Signs for colour changes that look factory-fitted. That is the standard we hold ourselves to.

When You Need Us

When You Need Colour Change Wraps

1

Personal Style Expression

A colour your manufacturer never offered. Something that reflects your taste rather than whatever was cheapest on the dealer lot.

2

Matte Finish Conversions

Factory gloss to matte or satin. That flat, modern look that works particularly well on darker colours and performance vehicles.

3

Gloss Colour Changes

Traditional shine, non-traditional colour. Deep candy reds, electric blues, colours the factory never considered.

4

Specialty Effect Wraps

Chrome, colour-shift, carbon fibre texture, brushed metal. The finishes that turn heads and start conversations at petrol stations.

5

Paint Protection Strategy

Enjoy a different colour while your factory paint sits preserved underneath. Peel the wrap for resale and the original finish is still there.

6

Lease Vehicle Customisation

Make a leased car yours for the duration. Remove the wrap before return and it goes back at factory spec. Clean and simple.

7

Classic Car Preservation

Different look on a classic or collector vehicle without laying a finger on the original paint. Reversible by definition.

8

Business Vehicle Branding

Company vehicles that need a specific corporate colour your manufacturer does not offer. Matching the fleet without custom paint orders.

9

Pre-Sale Refresh

Tired paint dragging down your asking price? A wrap freshens the whole appearance while protecting whatever is underneath.

10

Seasonal Changes

Some owners like variety. A colour change wrap today does not have to be the colour change wrap you are wearing in two years.

Our Process

Our Colour Change Wraps Process

01

Colour Consultation

We show you physical samples on your actual car, not just a screen. Matte reads differently from gloss in the same hue, and what looks good on a swatch can look completely different on a curved panel. We want you confident before a single sheet gets cut.

02

Vehicle Assessment

Paintwork, body panels, surface condition. Chips, rust spots, previous repairs. Anything that could affect adhesion or show through the wrap gets flagged now, not after we have started.

03

Surface Preparation

Thorough cleaning, clay bar treatment, IPA wipe-down. Every trace of wax, polish, and contamination has to come off. Miss a spot and the vinyl fails there first. Guaranteed.

04

Panel Disassembly

Door handles, mirrors, badges, trim pieces. They come off so vinyl can tuck behind them instead of terminating on a visible surface. More labour. Much better result.

05

Expert Installation

Panel by panel, heat guns and squeegees, working vinyl into every contour. Bumpers, mirrors, recessed sections, each area gets however long it takes. No clock-watching on complex bits.

06

Detail Finishing

Door jambs, edges, transition points. Everything tucked and sealed so there is nothing exposed to lift or peel. The details people do not consciously notice until they are missing.

07

Quality Inspection

Every panel checked for air bubbles, lifting, colour consistency, and finish quality under multiple lighting conditions. We do not hand the car back until it meets the standard.

Why Choose Us

Why Choose Falcon Signs for Colour Change Wraps?

Completely Reversible

Unlike paint, vinyl peels off. Changed your mind, selling the car, bored of the colour. Remove the wrap and the factory finish is right there waiting.

Factory Paint Stays Protected

UV, stone chips, bird droppings, minor scratches. The vinyl absorbs all of it. Your original paint stays in the condition you left it.

Colours Paint Cannot Do

Matte finishes, satin sheen, chrome, colour-shift vinyl, textured effects. Options that go well beyond what any spray booth can produce.

Resale Value Stays Intact

Original paint preserved underneath means your vehicle's value is not diminished by aftermarket modification. Remove and sell at factory spec.

Quicker Than a Respray

No paint booth, no multi-day curing, no weather delays. Wrapping is faster and your car spends less time off the road.

Colour Match Across Every Panel

Vinyl from the same production batch means identical colour on every surface. No panel-to-panel variation like you sometimes get with paint.

Frequently Asked Questions - Colour Change Wraps

More than you would expect. Gloss, matte, satin, metallic, pearlescent, chrome, and specialty finishes like carbon fibre texture and brushed metal. We source from 3M, Avery Dennison, Hexis and other manufacturers, which gives us literally hundreds of colour and finish combinations. Far more range than any factory paint catalogue.

No. A properly applied wrap actually protects your factory paint from UV, stone chips, and environmental damage. When the wrap gets removed by a professional, the original finish underneath is preserved. Many owners use colour change wraps specifically as a paint protection strategy.

Gloss reflects light the way factory paint does. Depth and shine. Matte absorbs light for a flat, modern look that is particularly striking on darker colours. Satin sits in between, a soft sheen without the mirror effect of gloss. Worth noting: matte and satin show fingerprints and water spots more readily than gloss, so care routines differ slightly.

Hand wash with pH-neutral car soap and a soft cloth or mitt. Touchless washes work too. Avoid brush washes (they snag edges over time) and do not aim a pressure washer at wrap seams. Matte and satin finishes need matte-specific products because regular car polish adds gloss where you deliberately chose not to have it. We cover all of this when you pick up the car.

Definitely. Roof wraps, bonnet wraps, mirror caps, window pillars, accent panels. Partial colour changes create two-tone effects that can be just as striking as a full wrap. It is a popular approach for people who like their factory colour but want to add some character without committing to full coverage.

Individual panels can be rewrapped without redoing the whole car. We keep records of what material went on your vehicle so replacement panels match perfectly. Minor scratches might be repairable depending on how deep they are. Bring it in and we will tell you the most sensible fix.

You have got two main options. Full jamb coverage wraps material right into the door openings so the colour change is complete even with doors open. Edge finishing tucks the wrap just inside the door edge for a clean look, but the jambs show original paint colour. Which approach suits depends on the contrast between your wrap colour and factory paint, and your personal preference. We talk it through during consultation.
