Types of Vehicle Wraps
Colour Change Wraps
A full colour change wrap transforms your vehicle's entire exterior to a new colour and finish. Choose from hundreds of options — satin black, matte grey, gloss metallic blue, colour-shifting purple, and everything in between. The original paint stays untouched underneath, preserving your vehicle's value and giving you the freedom to change colours again in the future.
Commercial & Fleet Wraps
Turn your work vehicles into mobile billboards. We design, produce, and install commercial wraps for single vehicles and entire fleets. Consistent branding across your fleet projects professionalism and generates thousands of daily impressions on Ottawa's roads. Full wraps, partial wraps, and lettering packages are all available.
Partial Wraps & Accents
Partial wraps cover specific areas of your vehicle — roof, hood, mirrors, roof pillars, or custom sections. This is a popular option for adding contrast or accent colours, applying racing stripes, or creating a two-tone look. Partial wraps offer a dramatic visual change at a lower cost than a full wrap.
Vehicle wraps are fully reversible. When you're ready for a change — or when it's time to sell the vehicle — the wrap can be removed professionally to reveal the original paint in preserved condition underneath. It's the ultimate non-committal way to transform your vehicle.
Things to Consider
- The vehicle's paint must be in good condition before wrapping — peeling, flaking, or poorly repainted surfaces can cause adhesion issues
- Full wraps require badge and trim removal, which adds time but ensures a clean, seamless result
- Hand washing is recommended for wrapped vehicles — avoid automated car washes with brushes
- Vinyl wraps should be stored indoors or in shade when possible to maximise lifespan
- Wrap removal should be done professionally to avoid adhesive residue or paint damage
Why Choose Garage Knights for Vehicle Wraps
We handle the entire process in-house — design, production, and installation. This means consistent quality control from concept to completion, with no third-party handoffs. We use only premium cast vinyl from leading manufacturers, and our installers are experienced in complex curves, recesses, and panel gaps that separate a professional wrap from an amateur one. Every wrap leaves our shop looking like a factory finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a vehicle wrap last?
Premium cast vinyl wraps typically last 5-7 years with proper care. Lifespan depends on exposure to elements, how the vehicle is stored, and maintenance. Vehicles garaged overnight and hand-washed regularly will see the longest lifespan.
Will a wrap damage my paint?
No. When applied to paint in good condition and removed professionally, a wrap actually protects the underlying paint. The paint underneath is shielded from UV, scratches, and debris for the life of the wrap.
How long does a full wrap installation take?
A full colour change wrap typically takes 3-5 days depending on vehicle size and complexity. This includes prep, badge removal, installation, post-heating, and quality inspection. We don't rush — the time ensures a flawless result.
Can you wrap a leased vehicle?
Yes. Wraps are fully reversible, making them ideal for leased vehicles. When the lease ends, the wrap can be removed to reveal the original paint, typically in better condition than if it had been left exposed.
Do you offer design services for commercial wraps?
Yes. We provide full design services including layout, branding integration, and digital proofing. You'll see and approve a mockup of your wrap on a template of your vehicle before we go to production. We can also work from existing brand guidelines or files provided by your designer.
