Painting company van wrap ideas: 6 designs for vans and pickups

A painting crew parks at one house for days. The van sits at the curb while the neighbors watch the house change color. That is the best ad a painter gets.

This guide shows 6 ideas made with our free generator, then the layout rules, the EPA Lead-Safe logo rule, and colors. To try them with your own name, open the free painting van wrap tool.

6 painting company van wrap ideas

Each image is a free watermarked WrapMockup preview. Every company is fictional. The lettering is drawn from typed text, so the name and phone come out spelled right.

1. Swoosh van with a bright accent

Swoosh style painting company van wrap concept for Brushwell Painting, a fictional company, blue and coral

A blue swoosh with a coral accent on a white van. Painters sell color, so a bold accent fits. "Interior and exterior painting" covers both kinds of calls.

2. Two-tone van for cabinet work

Two-tone painting company van wrap concept for Calloway Painters, a fictional company, black and green

"Cabinets, trim, and walls" names the high ticket job first. Cabinet painting is a separate search. Put it on the van.

3. Full color van that stops traffic

Full color painting company van wrap concept for Saffron Coat Painting, a fictional company, gold with a navy accent

Gold covers the van, with navy lettering. In a row of white work vans, a full color van gets noticed. Keep the phone in a high contrast color.

4. Stripe van for exterior crews

Stripe style painting company van wrap concept for Pemberton Paint Co., a fictional company, purple and yellow stripes

Stripes cost less than a full wrap and leave a clean white body. "Exterior repaints and stain" fits a spring and summer crew.

5. Minimal van for interior work

Minimal lettering painting company van wrap concept for Holloway Fine Finishes, a fictional company, charcoal and sky blue

Charcoal lettering and a sky blue accent. A plain van looks neat in a client driveway and costs the least to letter.

6. Color block pickup for the crew lead

Color block painting company pickup wrap concept for Brushwell Painting, a fictional company, blue and white

The blue from idea 1, on the pickup the crew lead drives to estimates. Ladders ride on top, so keep the name on the doors.

Layout rules for a painting van

Keep text off the drip zone. The lower rocker and rear bumper get paint, primer, and caulk. Put the phone higher.
Name the jobs. Interior, exterior, cabinets, and decks. Each one is its own search.
Plan for ladder racks. Racks cover the roof line. Put the name below them.
Use your brand color as the accent. A painter with a dull van looks off. One bold color is enough.
Leave a spot for the Lead-Safe logo if you hold the firm certification. See the next section.

The EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm logo on a van

Many painters work on older homes. The EPA RRP page says anyone paid to do work that disturbs painted surfaces in homes, childcare facilities, and preschools built before 1978 must be certified, and "This includes all firms, even sole proprietorships."

Certified firms can show the logo. The EPA logo guidelines say you may use it on "signs, uniforms, vehicles and other materials promoting or identifying your firm." The same page sets the limits:

"Firms that are not RRP-certified may not use the logo."
The logo "must include your firm's certification number."
"The logo must not be altered or distorted in any way."
Do not reduce it "to a size smaller than one inch wide by 0.687 inches in height."
Do not let a subcontractor without RRP certification use it.

You can't recolor it to match your van. The EPA logo guidelines say the two colors are "Pantone 362C (green) and Pantone 660C (blue)" and "The logo must not be altered or distorted in any way." The page allows the logo "in black and white or color." On a dark van, ask your shop for the black and white version on a white panel.

For the design, leave a clear square near the phone for the logo. Use the custom logo file EPA sends your firm. If your firm is not certified, leave it off.

Colors that read from the street

Pick one dark color and one bright accent. Navy, charcoal, or deep green with orange, yellow, or lime reads from across a street.
Put the phone in white on a dark band, or in dark letters on white. Contrast matters more than size.
Test small. Shrink the preview to thumbnail size. If you can read the phone, a driver can.

FAQ

What should a painting company van wrap include? Business name, phone, the jobs you do such as interior, exterior, and cabinets, a short website, and your license number if your state requires one.

Can I put the EPA Lead-Safe logo on my van? Yes, if your firm is RRP certified. The EPA lists vehicles as an allowed use. The logo must include your firm certification number and must not be altered.

Can I change the colors of the Lead-Safe logo to match my van? No. The EPA logo uses Pantone 362C green and Pantone 660C blue, and the guidelines say the logo must not be altered. You may use it in black and white or color.

How small can the Lead-Safe logo be? The EPA says not smaller than one inch wide by 0.687 inches high. On a van, go much larger so it reads from the street.
