Car Customisation Sunshine Coast Custom Paint Shop
Auto Emporium's customisation services let you change the look of your vehicle without touching the factory paint. From full vinyl wraps and chrome deletes to brake caliper painting and hydro dipping, every service is carried out at our Caloundra West studio using professional-grade materials.

Custom Vehicle Services
Vehicle Wraps
Change your vehicle's colour and protect the original paint with premium Avery Dennison vinyl wraps.
Chrome Delete
Replace factory chrome with sleek gloss, satin, or matte black finishes for a more aggressive, modern look.

White Wall Tyres
The perfect finishing touch for classic and custom builds. Professional whitewall application for a timeless aesthetic.
"Robin and his team at Auto Emporium delivered a great outcome. My car has been refreshed and modernised with gloss black wheels, grill and badges. Each brake caliper is now red with “Jaguar” in white on it."
Why Choose Custom Car Services From Auto Emporium
Most Sunshine Coast customisation work is split across a wrap shop, a tint shop, and a wheel guy — inconsistent finishes and three different workshops. Auto Emporium handles the full scope under one roof, so every element is built to the same standard.
The difference between a car that looks intentional and one that looks modified is execution. Factory-quality chrome deletes, precisely matched caliper paint, correctly applied vinyl — the details have to align.
From a single white wall tyre set on a classic build to a full wrap, blackout pack, and ceramic coating on a prestige daily — we work across the full range.
- Wraps & decals: Full colour change wraps from $3,500 using Avery Dennison vinyl, partial wraps, racing stripes, and custom decals
- Chrome delete & blackout packs: Window surrounds, grilles, badges, and mirror caps wrapped to factory standard in gloss black, satin, or matte
- Brake caliper painting: Any colour, precisely mixed with DeBeer Refinish — Wheel & Caliper Package from $799
- Hydro dipping: Carbon fibre, custom patterns, and bespoke finishes on trim, rims, and components — over 100,000 films available
- White wall tyres: 12 standard colours and custom mixing, from $200 a set — recommended for show and occasional use
"The legends at Auto Emporium gave my Holden Commodore SV6 the makeover of a lifetime - paint and polish, paint correction, removed and redid badges, and removed chrome and blacked out fenders and grill. Would highly recommend."

Yes — a vinyl wrap is cheaper upfront than a quality respray, and typically faster. Wraps are also reversible and protect the original OEM paint underneath. A premium paint job delivers permanent durability and a seamless finish that lasts the life of the vehicle, but at a higher cost and with no ability to reverse it.

Yes. We build bespoke rock sliders, custom bullbars, rear step bars, stainless steel snorkels, and high-clearance airboxes — all fabricated to suit your specific 4x4 and your intended use.
Cosmetic work — no. Vinyl wraps, paint jobs, chrome deletes, and interior re-trimming don't require a Mod Plate.
Structural fabrication — possibly yes. Custom chassis cutting, major suspension lifts, or changes to seating capacity will require one. Always consult a certified mod plate inspector before major structural work.
Yes. Interior work includes seat re-trimming in leather or suede, door card upgrades, custom colour-matched stitching, and classic car interior restoration to better-than-factory condition.
Timelines vary significantly by job type. As a general guide:
- Chrome delete / caliper paint — 1–2 days
- Full vinyl wrap — 3–7 days depending on vehicle size
- Custom respray — several weeks for show-quality prep, rust treatment, and curing
