Urban Prints Creates a Showstopping McLaren Wrap with Arlon 

Urban Prints recently transformed a client’s McLaren into a racetrack-ready showstopper with a custom wrap that perfectly balances performance and style. Leveraging a combination of Arlon Premium Colour Change films and SLX+ with a satin laminate, Urban Prints crafted a standout design that captures attention. The bold color scheme features charcoal metallic, gloss light blue, black and white which highlights the McLaren’s unique curves, ensuring it makes an unforgettable impression on and off the track.

During this interview, the Urban Prints team shared insights into their creative process and the heart of their business. Describing themselves as a “quirky family,” the team is known for tackling a diverse range of projects, from high-end sports cars like this McLaren to practical commercial wraps like a plumber’s Hilux. Plus, you can’t forget their friendly mascot, Mookie, who adds a touch of personality to the shop, helping create the welcoming atmosphere that clients appreciate.

Design Approach and Execution

Urban Prints is no stranger to Arlon materials, relying on them for their ease of application and stunning finishes. For the McLaren, the team selected a matte aluminum grey for the rear section, giving it a sleek and sophisticated look. Gloss light blue highlights were added to enhance the vehicle’s lines, while gloss white and black finishes provided additional contrast. For an extra touch of refinement, SLX+ with a satin laminate was applied to the bonnet and interior doors, resulting in a polished and cohesive final look. Reflecting on the completed wrap, the Urban Prints team shared how the design exceeded their expectations, looking even better in person.

Not stopping with the McLaren, Urban Prints also wrapped a new tow vehicle for the client, ensuring a cohesive look across their collection. Arlon wraps remain Urban Prints’ top choice for projects of all sizes, praised for their seamless application and vibrant color options.
