Wrap vs. paint
A quality repaint is permanent, and on a collectible, exotic or leased car it can work against you. A color change wrap gives you a completely new look while the factory paint stays underneath.
Want a different color in a few years, or the original back for resale? Our technicians can remove the film and return the car to its factory paint.
The whole car is covered in 3–4 mil cast vinyl, which helps shield the paint from light scratches, UV and everyday road debris.
Satin, matte, color shift, brushed metal and carbon fiber looks that would be hard to get from a paint booth.
Because a wrap comes off, it's a popular way to personalize a lease. Check your lease terms first.
Our work
Real cars wrapped in our Snohomish shop: Bentley, Rolls-Royce, McLaren, Lamborghini, G-Wagon, Corvette, Tesla and more. Tap any photo to see it larger.
Watch
Not every color change comes off a roll. We also design and print custom wraps in-house, like this marble finish on a Lamborghini Urus.
Finishes
Pick a finish to see a car we've wrapped in it.
The closest look to fresh paint. Great for a factory-style color change or a shade the manufacturer never offered. 3M 2080 gloss colors include a protective film layer that helps reduce scratches during install.
Wrapped by Ardor: Rolls-Royce Cullinan in 3M gloss white, grille and emblems included
A soft sheen that shows off body lines without mirror-like reflections. Satin black, satin grey and satin white are popular choices for luxury and performance cars.
Wrapped by Ardor: McLaren 570S in satin grey, Mercedes G-Wagon in 3M satin white, Corvette C8 in satin black
A flat, low-reflection finish with a bold, modern look. Matte black, matte green and matte metallics stand out, and they need gentle hand washing with no wax or polish.
Wrapped by Ardor: Bentley Continental GT in 3M matte metallic pine green, Toyota Land Cruiser in 3M matte charcoal metallic
Flip, chameleon and iridescent films change color as you walk around the car, from purple to green or red to black. The most eye-catching option we install.
Wrapped by Ardor: Tesla Model 3 purple-to-green, Tesla Cybertruck in KPMF gloss red/black iridescent
Brushed metal, metallic flake and carbon fiber films add real texture. Use them for a full wrap or as accents on mirrors, roofs, hoods and trim.
Wrapped by Ardor: Tesla Cybertruck in 3M brushed steel, carbon fiber mirror caps on a McLaren 570S
Colored paint protection film changes the color and adds a thicker protective layer than standard wrap vinyl, with a high-gloss finish. A strong choice for daily-driven cars that see a lot of highway miles.

Films
We install cast wrap films from three manufacturers, so you can choose from hundreds of colors and finishes.
A dual cast film with 3M Controltac and Comply adhesive technologies for repositioning and bubble-free air release, offered in nearly 100 colors, patterns and textures. Gloss colors include a protective film layer.
Uses Avery Dennison's Easy Apply RS adhesive for repositionability and slideability, and comes in more than 140 gloss, satin, matte, metallic, chrome and textured colors.
A UK film maker known for deep iridescent and color-shifting shades, like the Gloss Red/Black Iridescent we installed on a Tesla Cybertruck before covering it in clear PPF.

Exotic & luxury
Yes. Our installers have over 50 years of combined experience wrapping luxury vehicles, and these are some of the cars we've wrapped:
Protection & details
Pair your color change with protection and finishing details, or book them on their own.
Clear or colored PPF for high-impact areas or the whole car. We can also install PPF over a color change wrap, like this KPMF-wrapped Cybertruck.
See examples
Black out window trim, grilles, badges and bumper accents in gloss, satin or matte black. Popular on trucks and SUVs like the GMC Yukon and Sierra Denali.
See examples
Wrapped jambs keep the old color from showing when the doors are open, so the change looks factory.
Ask about itReady for a new color or returning a lease? Our technicians remove old wrap film carefully to protect the paint underneath.

Pricing
Every quote is built around your car and the film you choose. These are the five things that move the price most.
A Tesla Model 3 needs less film and labor than a G-Wagon or Cybertruck. Deep bumpers, vents and spoilers add time.
Standard gloss, satin and matte colors usually cost less than color shift, brushed, carbon fiber and other specialty films.
Full wrap, roof or hood only, or accents. Door jambs add labor but make the new color look factory.
Film needs healthy paint to stick and come off cleanly. Chips, peeling clear coat or recent paintwork may need attention first.
PPF over the wrap, chrome delete and removal of an old wrap are quoted as separate line items.
Process
Tell us about your car and the look you want. We'll help you compare 3M, Avery Dennison and KPMF options.
We quote the wrap, door jambs and any add-ons, then schedule a drop-off or vehicle pick-up.
The car is cleaned and prepped, then wrapped by hand in our Snohomish shop. Most installs take 2–5 days.
We go over care for your finish and can deliver the car back to you.

Get a free quoteA color change wrap is a layer of cast vinyl film, about 3–4 mils thick, applied over your car's factory paint to change its color and finish. It can include the door jambs, and it can be removed later to return the car to its original color. Ardor Printing installs color change wraps in 3M, Avery Dennison and KPMF films for drivers across Greater Seattle.
The price depends on your vehicle's size and shape, the film and finish you choose, how much of the car is covered (including door jambs), the condition of the paint and any add-ons like PPF or chrome delete. Specialty films such as color shift and textured finishes usually cost more than standard gloss, satin or matte colors. Ardor Printing gives free quotes at (425) 629-0796, and its vehicle wrap cost guide explains the factors in more detail.
Most color change wraps at Ardor Printing take 2–5 days, depending on the vehicle's size and the complexity of the wrap. Door jambs, complex bumpers and add-ons like PPF can add time. You'll get a timeline with your quote.
A quality color change wrap typically lasts 5–7 years in the Seattle area when it's installed and cared for properly. Life varies with the film, how much sun the car sees, and how it's washed and stored. Regular hand washing and garage parking help a wrap last longer.
Not when it's installed and removed correctly on healthy factory paint. Wraps are designed to be removable, and they help protect the paint underneath from light scratches, UV and road debris. Ardor's procedures avoid making cuts on the paint, and removal should be done by a professional. Repainted or damaged paint can lift when film comes off, so mention any past paintwork when you request a quote.
Yes. Because color change wraps are removable and don't damage factory paint when removed correctly, they're a popular way to personalize a leased car. Check your lease agreement for any restrictions, and plan to have the wrap removed before you turn the car in.
In general, yes. Color change wraps are legal on personal vehicles in the Seattle area. Because a wrap changes how your car looks, it's a good idea to let your insurance company know and to check with the Washington State Department of Licensing about whether to update the color on your vehicle record.
Ardor Printing installs color change wraps in 3M 2080 Series, Avery Dennison SW900 Supreme Wrapping Film and KPMF films. Between the three brands you can choose gloss, satin, matte, metallic, color shift, brushed and carbon fiber finishes, and the team will help you compare colors across brands.
Yes. Ardor's installers wrap door jambs on request so the original color doesn't show when the doors are open. Jambs take extra film and labor, so they're quoted as part of your wrap.
Yes. Ardor Printing installs clear and colored paint protection film (PPF), and it can go over a color change wrap for extra protection. We did this on a Tesla Cybertruck wrapped in KPMF Gloss Red/Black Iridescent film.
A chrome delete covers chrome window trim, grilles, badges and other bright trim with vinyl, usually in gloss, satin or matte black. It's a popular upgrade on trucks and SUVs like the GMC Yukon and Sierra Denali, and it can be removed like any wrap.
Hand wash with mild soap, water and a microfiber mitt, and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools. Keep pressure washer nozzles back from edges and seams, and don't wax or polish matte or satin finishes. Ardor's team gives you care instructions for your specific film when you pick up the car.
