Car Wraps Edmonton
Looking to completely transform the look of your car? Choice Wraps is Edmonton’s trusted shop for custom car wraps, from full colour changes to partial accents and chrome deletes. Whether you want to turn heads with a bold satin finish or protect your factory paint with a sleek matte wrap, we deliver results that look like they rolled off the showroom floor.
Our South Edmonton shop has wrapped hundreds of vehicles for drivers across the city and surrounding areas. We work with cars of every make and model, from daily drivers to luxury and exotic vehicles. Every wrap is installed by trained technicians using only premium vinyl from 3M, Avery Dennison, Hexis, Orafol, and KPMF.
Car Wrap Services We Offer
No two vehicles are the same, and no two wraps should be either. We offer a range of car wrap options tailored to your style and budget:
- Full colour change wraps cover every exterior painted surface of your car in a new colour or finish, completely transforming its appearance.
- Partial wraps target specific panels like the hood, roof, trunk, or mirrors for a two-tone look or accent colour.
- Chrome delete wraps replace factory chrome trim with satin black, gloss black, or colour-matched vinyl for a cleaner, more modern look.
- Commercial and branded wraps turn your personal or business vehicle into a mobile advertisement with printed graphics, logos, and contact information.
- Specialty finishes include colour-shifting films, carbon fibre textures, brushed metal, and textured wraps that are impossible to achieve with paint.
How Our Car Wrap Process Works
From the first phone call to the final reveal, we keep you informed at every step.
- Consultation and quote: Tell us about your vehicle, your vision, and your budget. We will help you choose the right material and finish. You can visit our shop to see colour samples in person.
- Design and material selection: Once you pick a colour, we order the vinyl and schedule your install date. For printed wraps, our design team creates your layout for approval before printing.
- Surface preparation: On install day, we thoroughly wash and decontaminate your car’s exterior. Any wax, debris, or contaminants are removed so the vinyl bonds properly.
- Professional installation: Our installers work panel by panel, using heat guns and squeegees to stretch and conform the vinyl to every curve. Edges are carefully tucked and sealed to prevent lifting.
- Quality inspection and pickup: We inspect every panel for bubbles, wrinkles, and edge adhesion before you see the finished product. Most full wraps take 3 to 5 business days.
Materials and Brands We Use
The quality of a car wrap depends entirely on the vinyl film and the installer. We use only the best:
- 3M 2080 Series: The industry benchmark for colour change wraps. Available in over 100 colours and finishes with repositionable adhesive and excellent conformability.
- Avery Dennison Supreme Wrapping Film: Known for its vibrant colour options, easy handling, and long outdoor durability.
- KPMF: A favourite for specialty finishes like colour-shifting films, iridescent wraps, and matte metallics.
All of our films are rated for 5 to 7 years of outdoor durability when properly maintained. We never use cheap, off-brand vinyl that fades, cracks, or lifts within months.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a car wrap last?
A professionally installed car wrap using premium vinyl lasts 5 to 7 years with proper care. Matte and satin finishes may show wear slightly sooner than gloss finishes. Regular washing and avoiding prolonged sun exposure will extend the life of your wrap.
Will a wrap damage my paint?
No. High-quality vinyl wraps actually protect your factory paint from UV rays, minor scratches, and stone chips. When removed by a professional, the paint underneath is preserved in its original condition. This makes wraps an excellent choice for leased vehicles.
Can I wash my wrapped car normally?
Hand washing is recommended. Avoid automatic car washes with brushes, as they can scratch or lift edges. Touchless washes are generally safe. We include a bottle of Wrap Fresh protectant with every full wrap to help you maintain the finish.
How long does installation take?
A full colour change wrap typically takes 3 to 5 business days. Partial wraps and chrome deletes can often be completed in 1 to 2 days. We will give you an estimated timeline when you book your appointment.
Do you wrap leased vehicles?
Absolutely. Wraps are fully removable and leave no damage to the original paint, making them perfect for leased vehicles. Many of our customers wrap their leases to personalize the look without affecting the residual value.

How long does a car wrap last?
A professionally installed car wrap lasts 5 to 7 years with proper care. Premium films from 3M, Avery Dennison, and KPMF carry manufacturer warranties. Lifespan depends on sun exposure, washing habits, and whether the vehicle is garaged. Wraps in Edmonton’s climate hold up well, though regular washing to remove road salt in winter helps extend the life of the film.
Will a wrap damage my paint?
No. Vinyl wraps actually protect the paint underneath from UV rays, minor scratches, and road debris. When removed professionally, the factory paint is revealed in the same condition it was in before the wrap was applied. This is why wraps are popular on leased vehicles and cars with high resale value.
How long does installation take?
A full colour change wrap takes 3 to 5 business days depending on the vehicle’s size and complexity. Partial wraps and chrome deletes typically take 1 to 2 days. We keep your vehicle indoors in our climate-controlled shop for the entire installation to ensure proper adhesion and curing.
Can I wrap a leased vehicle?
Yes. Wrapping a leased vehicle is one of the most common requests we get. The wrap protects the factory paint during the lease term and is removed before return, leaving the original finish intact. Many lease agreements actually benefit from wraps because they reduce wear on the paint.
What is the difference between a full wrap and a partial wrap?
A full wrap covers every painted exterior surface, giving the vehicle a completely new colour or design. A partial wrap covers selected panels such as the hood, roof, trunk, mirrors, or door handles. Partial wraps are popular for two-tone looks, accent colours, or when budget is a factor. Both use the same premium vinyl films and installation techniques.
