What Can I Wrap? A Complete Guide to Wrappable Vehicles

Vehicle wraps have come a long way in the last decade - from basic colour changes to full-blown commercial advertising, motorsport liveries, fleet branding and beyond.

But one of the most common questions we hear is: "What kind of vehicles can actually be wrapped?"

Whether you're a business owner looking to brand a fleet, a motorsport team seeking custom livery, or a private vehicle owner wanting a fresh new look - this guide covers everything you need to know about which vehicles can be wrapped.

Spoiler: If it moves, chances are we can wrap it.

Why Wrap? The Benefits of Wrapping Vehicles

Vehicle wrapping is more than just cosmetic.

It’s a highly effective way to:

  • Promote your brand or business 24/7
  • Protect your vehicle’s original paintwork
  • Achieve a custom look without costly resprays
  • Enhance resale value by preserving factory paint
  • Easily update or change designs without permanent alterations

Who Can Get Their Vehicle Wrapped?

Vehicle wrapping is ideal for a wide range of people and organisations, including:

  • 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

  • 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.
