With a wrap you give your car an individual touch and at the same time protect it from loss of value through damage to the paintwork. INCUTE offers three wrapping levels, each with a published hourly rate.

Level What it is Rate
1 · Colour wrap Full-vehicle colour change in standard films: metallic, matte, satin, solid and more CHF 200 per hour
2 · Custom colour wrap Partial wraps and special films: chrome, gold, carbon, graphic design, custom design, racing stripes CHF 240 per hour
3 · Colour-shift wrap A chameleon finish whose colour changes with the angle of the light, matte or gloss CHF 300 per hour

Colour wrap

A complete colour change from countless colours and patterns, in matte, satin, glossy or solid finishes. The wrap shields the factory paint underneath.

Custom colour wrap

As well as full-surface wraps you can create a unique look with partial wrapping. Film on selected body and add-on parts sets strong accents that make your car an unmistakable one-off.

Colour-shift wrap

With a colour-shift film the colour of the car changes depending on the incidence of light. Depending on taste the film is available matte or gloss, in different colours.

Good to know

  • Removable: vinyl wraps protect your factory paint and are 100% removable without damage, and they can be removed and reapplied as often as you like.
  • Warranties and leases: they remain valid.
  • Cost: vinyl wrapping costs significantly less than a comparable paint job.
  • Repairs: a damaged part can be replaced with a perfect fit, so you do not need an expensive colour-matched respray.
  • Preparation: the car must be clean before installation, and should not be pressure washed afterwards.

See car wrapping for the levels, or compare with film and sealing in PPF, ceramic coating or wrap.

FAQ

Common questions

Can a wrap be removed?

Yes, vinyl films can be removed without damage. This is one of their main advantages over painting.

Can I pressure wash a wrapped car?

We strongly recommend not to. Some pressure washers can lift the vinyl through improper water pressure. The vinyl is an investment and should be protected.

Do I have to wash the car before wrapping?

Yes. A vehicle must be free of dust, mud, pollen and other substances that could affect adhesion or cause blistering after installation.

Do I have to wrap the whole car?

No. You can wrap only the hood, roof, mirrors, stripes and so on. If a part is damaged it can be re-wrapped on its own.
