Colour Transformation Melbourne
Car Colour Transformation in Melbourne
A new colour without paint and without vinyl. Liquid R does every colour change in Spectra Colour PPF from Defcon Films Australia: paint protection film with the colour built in, so the new look and the stone chip armour go on in one self-healing layer. Gloss, satin, matte and flip finishes, applied panels-off in our 1,000 sqm Mitcham workshop. Everything from a daily Toyota to a supercar goes through the same booth. Call 1800 985 880 or text 0483 930 888 for a colour and price.

Colour PPF or Traditional Vinyl Wrap?
Vinyl wrap is a cosmetic skin: thin, stretched over damage-prone panels, and easily nicked by the same stone that chips paint. Colour PPF is paint protection film with the colour built in, so the new look and the impact protection go on as one self-healing layer. Liquid R no longer offers vinyl wrap services. Every colour change we do uses the Spectra Colour PPF range from Defcon Films Australia, which wears like armour rather than a sticker.
Full Car Colour Transformation
Every painted panel refinished in DFA Spectra Colour PPF. Mirrors, handles and badges come off rather than get taped around, so the finish reads factory. Your original paint sits untouched underneath, which resale buyers pay for. That matters most on collectible metal like a Porsche 911.
Finishes: Gloss, Satin, Matte and Flip
The Spectra range covers deep gloss, satin, true matte and colour flip films that shift tone with the light. Satin and matte need no polishing, ever, which makes them the practical pick for daily driven cars. Matte over a Ford Raptor is a popular combination.
Partial Colour Changes
Roof, mirrors, splitters, spoilers or a full accent package. Partial jobs use the same film and the same panels-off preparation, so a black pack holds up on a car that gets driven, not just parked. Popular on the BMW M2, M3 and M4.
Colour PPF on Teslas and EVs
Thin factory paint and long waiting lists for resprays make EVs the most common colour change we see. Satin black and gunmetal over white Teslas lead the queue. The same treatment suits a new BYD. Details on our Tesla page.
Removal and Resale
Colour PPF peels back to reveal factory paint that has spent years protected from stone chips and UV. That is the difference from a respray: the change is reversible, and the car underneath is better than when it arrived. As true on a Ford daily as on anything exotic. Colour film care is on our aftercare page.
Warranty and Lifespan
Spectra Colour PPF carries a multi year manufacturer warranty against yellowing, cracking and delamination. Treated to a normal wash routine, expect seven to ten years of service from a quality colour film.

Just had my BMW X5 done with the Paint Protection Pack 4 at Liquid R — couldn’t be happier. The car looks incredible, the gloss and finish are better than new. The team were great to deal with, explained everything clearly and really took pride in their work. The ceramic coating, PPF, tint and interior protection were all done perfectly. Worth every dollar if you want your car protected and looking its best.

I had a ceramic coating and a paint protection film (PPF) package applied by Liquid R, with Jacky and Bob overseeing the process. I am very pleased with the results. After I dropped off my car at Liquid R one night, I noticed through the My Toyota App that my 2025 Toyota LC 300 was parked in a different location.

I highly recommend choosing Liquid R for any of your vehicle care needs. I had the full exterior XPEL PPF (Paint Protection Film) applied to my 2025 M4 CS, along with the interior center console, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. Working with both Jacky and Bobby throughout the entire process was an absolute pleasure.
Nicholas Mladenov
Jacky and team at Liquid R were extremely knowledgable, helpful and professional. Jacky was very accomodating with my appointment and rescheduled multiple times due to delays with the arrival of my new car. The PPF, ceramic coating and tinting was done well, and the ongoing support is also great (my million questions were all answered!). Highly recommended for any level of detailing required!

I have nothing but great things to say about Jacky and the team at Liquid R. I first contacted Jacky after ordering my new car 15 months ago and he gave me quotes etc for the full front end wrap, ceramic coating, interior coat and window tinting (package 4). Due to uncertainty over how long the new car would take to deliver, we kept in communication over the year, knowing he was booked out 2 months in advance.
Martin Kranz
Jacky and the team came highly recommended. I was nervous because it's a brand new car (Kia Stinger) and I was being precious. After speaking to Jacky, I realised there was no way I could do ceramic coating with the dealership. It took around 6-8 weeks to get in. I went with package 3 which was tint, ceramic coat and interior but Jacky was able to adjust as I chose not to do the interior.
Byron Trzeciak
Jacky and the crew at Liquid R completed full PPF (paint protection film) on my SQ8, the end result is out standing! 🤩🤩🤩 never in my life have i seen water bead off body panels like it does now!! They even put PPF on my lower door sills so my wheelchair doesn't scuff my paint work when i get in and out. i have booked in my 2nd car for PPF as well…
Zane Williams
Jacky and team did a stellar job coating and tinting the new car. Although there were some mishaps with the tint, Jacky was on top of the communications and was able to remediate efficiently. Highly recommend to anyone who are looking for a ceramic coat or tint for their vehicles.

Jacky and the guys did an great job color correcting and applying ceramic to my 2015 Calais. Awesome job and easy to deal with. When comparing the coating to our other car (which we were also impressed with at the time) its like chalk and cheese. The water just beads and sheets off with a blower and doesn't require any hand drying. It's amazing stuff!

A full car colour transformation in Spectra Colour PPF starts at $6980. A quality respray in Melbourne typically runs higher once trim removal is done properly, takes longer, and permanently kills the factory finish. The film is also reversible.
Yes. Victorian registration records list vehicle colour, so a full colour change should be updated with VicRoads after the work. It is a simple online notification, and we can point you to the right form at handover.
Around five to seven working days. Panels and trim come off, every edge is wrapped, and the car sits indoors for the full job. Partial work like a roof or mirror set is usually same day.
No. On factory paint in sound condition, the film releases cleanly with heat and leaves the original finish behind, protected from years of UV and stone chips. Resprayed panels are assessed first, since aftermarket paint bonds differently.
Yes, and it is one of the more sensible mods for a leased car because it is fully reversible. The car returns to its contract colour when the film comes off.
