Overview
When a vehicle leaves a fleet, its branding usually has to go with it. VV Transcoats removes existing branding from commercial vehicles and prepares them for lease return, resale, reassignment or a new livery.
Branding can be vinyl decals, signwriting, painted livery or a mix of all three, and each leaves the surface underneath in a different condition. We review the branding first, then agree in writing what is removed, what preparation follows, and whether repainting is part of the job — so there are no surprises at handover.
What debranding can include
- Reviewing the existing branding, decals and painted livery
- Removal of the agreed decals, signage and logos
- Surface preparation after removal
- Repainting of painted livery or affected panels, where confirmed in the scope
- A written scope covering what is and is not included
Suitable for
- Vehicles coming off a lease or finance term
- Vehicles being sold or reassigned
- Vehicles moving to a new brand or operator
- Trucks, vans and other commercial vehicles
Why vehicles are debranded
- Lease return conditions require branding to be removed
- A vehicle is being sold and should present neutrally
- A vehicle is being reassigned to another part of the business
- Old branding has to come off before a fleet rebrand

Common Questions
Will the vehicle need repainting after the branding comes off?
Sometimes. It depends on whether the branding is decals or paint and on the condition underneath. The quotation states whether repainting is included.
Can you work to a lease return date?
Tell us the date the vehicle must be ready when you enquire, so the scope and scheduling can be confirmed against it.
Can the vehicle be rebranded afterwards?
Yes. Debranding is often the first step of a fleet rebrand — see fleet branding and rebranding.
