AMF Auto Services LLC · Al Quoz · Dubai
Give a pickup a new finish or make a working truck identify your business clearly. The right quote starts by separating the cab, pickup bed, box body and trailer.
Choose solid-color vinyl for styling or printed graphics for business use. Our Al Quoz team offers design assistance and fitting, with materials, measured coverage and installation time agreed for your actual truck.
Two jobs with different priorities
A personal color change is judged by its finish and panel detail. Business graphics must also keep the message readable across the working body. Decide which result you need before choosing a package.
Compare a complete exterior color change with a hood, tailgate, roof or accent combination. Choose a physical film sample and decide how much original color may remain at edges and door openings.
Choose logos and lettering, a partial printed design or wider coverage. Lay out the cab, box sides, rear doors and trailer independently so handles and openings do not cut through important information.
For repeated artwork, multiple vehicles and staged installations, use our commercial vehicle and fleet wrapping service. For one truck, start with the cab, body panels and finish you want.
Different bodies need different totals
Use these published planning ranges to compare the type of work. The price unit is one truck or the named single panel. These are not fixed packages, and a box-body estimate cannot be used as a pickup color-change price.
| Work to compare | AED guide | Coverage to agree |
|---|---|---|
| One pickup accent panel | Price guideAED 1,200–2,000Published single-panel vinyl guide | One suitable painted hood, roof or tailgate area. Confirm actual size, finish and access. Multiple separate sections need their own quote. |
| Full pickup color change | Price guideIndividual quoteCab bed and trim defined | Name the cab type, exterior bed, tailgate, painted bumpers and chosen roof coverage. Canopies, jambs and old-film removal are separate decisions. |
| Full pickup business graphics | Price guideAED 5,000–9,000External market estimate per pickup | Planning guide for Hilux, Ranger or L200-sized pickups. Agree the printed cab, outer bed and tailgate coverage. This is not a solid-color styling package or a confirmed workshop offer. |
| Box-truck graphics | Price guideAED 7,000–14,000Published commercial vehicle guide | Measure the box and specify each side, rear doors, front face and cab. Confirm film, print, laminate, hardware and surface preparation. |
| Semi-truck graphics | Price guideAED 15,000–30,000Published commercial vehicle guide | Identify whether the quote covers the tractor, trailer or both. A cab-only graphic and a complete trailer livery are different jobs. |
| Lettering partial panels or trailer only | Price guideMeasured quoteArtwork and surface list required | Specify the number of sides, dimensions and coverage. Flexible curtain sides and specialist body panels need material assessment. |
The published guides do not establish VAT inclusion. Your itemized quote should show the final VAT-inclusive total, with artwork, printing, laminate, fitting, old-film removal, repairs, access equipment and approval charges identified.
Make an estimate useful
Vehicle length alone does not tell us the graphic area. Start with the truck model, body type and areas you want covered. Photos or approximate dimensions can help if you have them. We arrange the fitting measurements needed before production.
Record cab type, door count, bed length, tailgate and any canopy. Note plastic rail caps, wheel-arch extensions, bed covers and modified bumpers.
Measure each flat side and the rear door area. Photograph hinges, latches, rivets, rails and seams. State whether cab coverage is included.
List the units separately. Record side length, height, front face and rear doors for the trailer. Identify refrigeration units, curtains or other specialist construction.
The surface changes the material choice
A smooth painted cab and a riveted box panel should not be treated as the same surface. Choose a film and installation method that suit the actual substrate and shape.
Confirm that the selected film is rated for the contour and installation method. Plan seams and overlaps rather than stretching an unsuitable film into every recess.
Identify the outer skin, previous repairs, seals and equipment openings. Do not obstruct cooling airflow or assume every insulated panel accepts the same adhesive.
Flexible curtains, rubber and rough plastics need separate compatibility decisions. Ordinary body-wrap vinyl is not an automatic solution for those surfaces.
Repair unstable surfaces before covering them. Vinyl follows defects underneath and cannot stop active corrosion or restore paint adhesion.
Details that matter on a working truck
The design must work around moving parts and the equipment you use every day. Map these areas before deciding where graphics begin and end.
Keep key wording clear of hinges, handles and latches. Roller shutters need a system suited to their movement. Loading edges and bed liners are separate from ordinary body-film coverage.
Keep lamps, reflectors, plates, cameras, sensors and required markings clear. Decorative vinyl must not conceal information or equipment needed for safe operation.
List ladders, toolboxes, bars, roof equipment and canopies. The quote should identify removal and refitting where needed, excluded surfaces and safe access for high panels.
Choose the material for the result
We offer 3M vinyl wrapping. The supplied film series, finish and coverage belong on your quote. Printed branding needs a matching film, print and laminate combination.
Choose the finish from a physical sample. Gloss, satin and matte reflect light differently, so view the sample in daylight as well as under workshop lighting.
Use a printable film intended for the actual body shape. A flat box side and a curved cab can require different material or fitting decisions.
Film availability is confirmed with the quote. Keep the material details and artwork for later repairs. Cosmetic vinyl does not prevent dents, and removal risk depends on the paint, earlier repairs and film age.
Keep the truck working between stages
Finish the design and required approvals before handing over a working vehicle. Design lead time, print production, installation and the first wash are different parts of the schedule.
Provide the truck model, body type and the panels you want covered. Send an original logo file such as vector PDF, AI or EPS when available. Low-resolution artwork may need rebuilding, which should be separately priced.
Check spelling, phone numbers and the position of graphics around doors, seams and hardware. Agree included revision rounds and who gives final approval. A screen proof shows layout, while a physical sample helps assess important colors.
For a company vehicle registered in Dubai, RTA’s amendment service lists an Advertising Section eNOC for adding advertising. A color change has separate police eNOC and inspection requirements. Assign responsibility for applications and fees before production.
Check RTA company vehicle requirementsRelease the approved artwork for production, then arrange the fitting slot around preparation and access. At handover, review alignment, edges and the operation of doors and access points. Obtain the product-specific first-wash instructions.
For the business message and artwork approval, see car branding and campaign design. The truck quote here defines the actual cab, body or trailer surfaces and fitting work.
Published UAE guides allow around 2–3 working days for full pickup branding and 3–5 for a medium box-truck livery. These are market planning estimates, not our appointment guarantee. Artwork, approvals, old-film removal, repairs and print production can extend the overall schedule. Get the actual drop-off and collection dates in writing.
Share the truck’s height and length so the work location can be planned. Mobile or customer-site fitting is not assumed. Leased vehicles, other registration emirates and personal pickups may need a different permission route.
Keep the finish serviceable
Our color-change and branding services include support for material defects and workmanship errors. The product, period and covered work must be recorded for your installation.
Record the exact film, installation date, covered areas and applicable local terms. Horizontal panels, specialist substrates and aftermarket coatings may have different conditions. Keep the manufacturer’s claim requirements with the invoice.
Confirm who inspects an edge or fitting concern, the support period and the remedy. Accident damage, vandalism and improper care are excluded from the stated support. Loading wear, pressure washing and off-road contact need their own consideration.
A damaged panel may be reproduced from the retained artwork when the material remains available. Check the adjacent graphics first because fading and batch differences can prevent an exact color match. Price removal, preparation, reprinting and fitting together.
Follow the film maker’s first-wash period and cleaning method. Keep concentrated pressure away from edges and overlaps. Before removal, assess aging adhesive, repaired paint and weak finishes so extra preparation can be priced.
Resolve the remaining choices
Compare the coverage, cost and limits before choosing your truck wrap.
No. Define the cab, outer bed sides and tailgate separately from the cargo floor, liner, rail caps and loading surfaces. Body-wrap film is not a bed-liner replacement.
Do not assume it does. Ask the quote to identify the tractor and trailer separately, with dimensions, sides and covered panels for each unit.
The published planning guides are AED 1,200–2,000 for one pickup accent panel, AED 7,000–14,000 for box-truck graphics and AED 15,000–30,000 for a specified semi-truck graphics project. Full pickup business graphics have a separate market guide of AED 5,000–9,000 for Hilux, Ranger or L200-sized vehicles. Full pickup color styling and trailer-only work need measured quotes. Coverage, materials, preparation and VAT must be clear in the final total.
Film should not be used to conceal active corrosion, peeling paint or an unstable surface. Assess and repair the body first, then confirm that the finish is ready for film.
Not automatically. A flexible curtain is a different substrate from a rigid painted panel. Material suitability and the application method need to be confirmed for that body.
No. Vinyl does not prevent dents. Removal outcomes depend on the underlying paint, previous repairs, film age and removal method.
Yes, discuss the vehicle count and the number that can be released at once. Fleet production and batch handovers are planned through our commercial vehicle wrapping service.
Only when removal is listed in the quote. Film age, adhesive residue and paint condition can add preparation work. Inspect the exposed surface before confirming that it is ready for new graphics.
A screen preview is a layout guide. Review a physical film or print sample when color is important, preferably under more than one lighting condition. Finish, viewing angle and the underlying surface affect the appearance. Approve the actual material choice before production.
Tell us the truck model and whether you want pickup styling or business graphics. We can help define the cab, bed, box or trailer coverage and arrange the measurements for a quote. Photos and artwork are helpful if available.
