Recent caravan refresh
A fresh look for a 24-year-old Majestic.
This 24-year-old Majestic caravan came in ready for a refresh. We removed the existing vinyl decals, then updated the exterior with colour-matched vinyl wrap and new decals.
It is a good example of how an older caravan can be given a cleaner, more coordinated look without losing the character that makes it yours.

Best value for most trade vehicles
A partial wrap or strong decal package often gives the best balance: clear side branding, rear contact details and readable service information without the cost of covering every panel.

FAQs
Good questions before you quote a wrap
How much does a vehicle wrap cost for a tradie ute on the Gold Coast?
For a dual cab ute like a Ranger or Hilux, current QLD market estimates are about $450-$1,100 for lettering, $2,000-$3,800 for a partial wrap, or $4,500-$6,500 for a full wrap, ex GST. Your final quote depends on the vehicle, coverage, artwork and installation requirements.
Can I claim a vehicle wrap on tax?
Vehicle signage is generally treated as a business advertising expense, and GST-registered businesses may be able to claim the GST component. Please confirm your own situation with your accountant or tax adviser.
How long does a vehicle wrap last in Queensland?
A quality exterior vinyl decal or wrap can often last 3-5 years on vertical panels, with premium films sometimes lasting longer when the vehicle is maintained well and not exposed to harsh cleaning or excessive sun every day.
Will a wrap damage my vehicle paint?
When installed on sound factory paint and removed correctly within the material service life, decals and wraps should not damage the paint. Old, resprayed, peeling or damaged paint can increase the risk.
Do I need council approval for vehicle signage on the Gold Coast?
Normal business signage on a registered work vehicle usually does not need council approval. Different rules may apply if a vehicle is used mainly as a parked advertising device, so check with council if that is the plan.
