WHAT IS A VINYL WRAP?
You might have heard the terms ‘car wrapping’ or ‘colour change wrap’ - this is a process where sheets of coloured vinyl are applied to the bodywork of a car. Unlike car painting, vinyl wrapping your car is completely reversible, as the original paint is not damaged at all.
VEhicle wrapping //
The Wrap Shop uses the highest quality vinyl from the best suppliers around the world. We can completely or partially change the colour of your vehicle for a totally new and refreshed look and as an added benefit the wrap covers and protects the vehicles original paint work.
It looks like paint, shines like paint, but unlike paint - it’s reversible.
Stone chips, scratches and everyday wear and tear no longer apply. With a wrap, any section of the car is easily replaced as desired. A full colour change wrap will take a full working week.
paint protection film //
For a vehicle worth protecting properly, the standard of installation matters as much as the product itself.
Paint protection film is a virtually invisible thermoplastic urethane barrier that preserves your paint against stone chips, UV, road contaminants and everyday wear. Available in gloss to preserve your original finish, satin, matte and colour options if you want to change the look, with our most premium film carrying a 12-year warranty against yellowing, bubbling and delamination.
Every install at The Wrap Shop is cut using precision software and finished by hand to your exact vehicle. Every possible edge wrapped, every corner tucked. The result is seamless because on a car like yours, anything less isn't good enough.

Colour vinyl wrap and paint protection film (PPF) serve very different purposes, although both are applied to a vehicle’s exterior.
Vinyl Wrap is a cosmetic film used to change the colour or finish of your vehicle. It comes in a wide variety of colours, textures (like matte, satin, gloss, or chrome), and patterns. It’s ideal if you want to completely restyle your car without repainting. Vinyl wraps do not offer significant protection against rock chips or scratches.
Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a clear, virtually invisible film designed to protect your original paint from stone chips, scratches, swirl marks, and UV damage. It has self-healing properties and is much thicker than vinyl wrap, but it doesn’t change the colour of your car.
In short:
Vinyl wrap = style change (with limited protection)
PPF = paint protection (with no colour change)
You can also combine both — apply a colour wrap and then add a clear PPF over high-impact areas for both aesthetics and protection.
-
No, vinyl wraps actually protect your original paint. As long as the paint is in good condition, the wrap can be safely removed without damage.
-
Absolutely. Partial wraps (hoods, roofs, bonnets, mirrors, stripes etc) are a popular and budget-friendly way to enhance your car's look.
-
We recommend using a professional installer to remove or repair your coloured vinyl wrap to avoid any damage to the original paint.
-
Yes, vinyl wrapping is legal in New Zealand. It’s a non-permanent cosmetic change that doesn't physically alter the vehicle’s structure or safety systems.
However, if the wrap changes your car’s colour significantly from what’s listed on your vehicle registration, you must notify the NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) to update the registration details
We also recommend you inform your insurance provider about the colour wrap—even if it’s a minor cosmetic change.
