Who Can Get Their Vehicle Wrapped?
Vehicle wrapping is ideal for a wide range of people and organisations, including:

- Motorsport teams needing custom livery, sponsor branding or quick-change liveries
- Private vehicle owners who want a colour change, paint protection or unique style
- Leased vehicle drivers seeking non-permanent modifications that preserve vehicle condition
Whether it's a personal car, a company van, or a specialist machine - if it has a surface, we likely wrap it.

Motorsport Vehicles & Race Car Liveries
From grassroots rally cars to high-performance circuit racers, vehicle wrapping plays a vital role in motorsport. Not only does it allow teams to showcase sponsors, colours and style - but it also makes damage repair fast and cost-efficient.
At Popin Graphics, we wrap for:
- Race cars (touring, GT, track day cars, etc.)
- Rally and rallycross vehicles
- Drift cars
- Support and team vehicles
- Hospitality and equipment trailers
Private Vehicles & Colour Change Wraps
Vehicle wraps aren’t just for businesses. Many private car owners now opt for wraps to change colour, apply matte or metallic finishes, or even protect new paintwork underneath.
Popular Wrappable Private Vehicles:
- Cars (new or used)
- SUVs (including luxury 4x4s)
- Camper vans & motorhomes
- Classic cars (paint protection)
- Performance & supercars
Why Choose a Wrap Over a Respray?
- Non-permanent and reversible
- Faster turnaround time
- Wide range of finishes (matt, gloss, satin, carbon fibre, etc.)
- Paint protection underneath
Can You Wrap a Leased or Financed Vehicle?
Generally, yes - leased or financed vehicles can usually be wrapped, provided the finance or leasing provider permits non-permanent modifications. Vinyl wraps do not damage factory paintwork and can be fully removed at the end of the lease term, helping to protect the vehicle’s original finish and preserve its return value. Always check your lease terms beforehand, but wrapping is a popular choice for personalisation or branding without affecting ownership agreements.
Trailers, Plant Machinery & Unusual Vehicles
Here’s where things get interesting. Wrapping isn’t limited to road-going cars, vans and trucks.
At Popin Graphics, we’re capable of wrapping everything from:
- Motorsport trailers
- Equipment trailers
- Plant machinery (diggers, cranes, dumpers)
- Tankers and tippers
- Agricultural machines
- Boats (above waterline sections)
- Velomobiles for Big Rock Climbing
- A Zamboni machine for Vindico
These projects often require specialist materials, creative layouts, and precise installation - and we thrive on the challenge.
Reflective & High-Conspicuity Wraps
Certain vehicles - especially plant, construction, utility, emergency, and highway maintenance vehicles - require enhanced visibility for safety or compliance. At Popin Graphics, we provide high-conspicuity wraps and Chapter 8 compliant graphics using reflective and fluorescent vinyls. These wraps improve on-road safety, ensure legal compliance, and maintain a professional look across your operational fleet.
