Number Plates
Legal Number Plates

Wigan Car Paints is a registered supplier for number plates and registration plates – with many years of experience in making legal number plates.

We are able to make plates with yellow or white backgrounds with and without UK Flags.

Legal number plates must contain the suppliers name and postcode. They are now only available with “Standard” black digits.

We are able to make standard sized number plates, bike plates, most import sized plates while you wait. Shaped plates (eg X type Jag, Range Rover) are available to order, and are usually available during the following working day.

ID Requirements

We need to see positive ID of the vehicle (this is a document from the DVLA eg V5C) AND the person collecting the number plate – we have to record these details. If you have just purchased a vehicle, the “Green slip” is sufficient proof of ID for the car.

MOT Failure

Having a defective number plate will mean that you could fail your next MOT test. Cracked registration plates, or plates where there has been water ingress will mean a failure.

 Wigan Car Paints serves the car paint and accessory market for areas including Wigan, Leigh, Ashton, Standish, Skelmersdale, Pemberton, Orrell, Hindley, Ince, Leyland, Chorley and surrounding areas.

News – Winter is coming!

Although we are in the middle of summer, its now time to think about your car, and how it will survive the winter. Small Scratches and Scrapes can rust with all the added water and salt over the winter months. These can easily be recitified with a small touch up paint pot from Wigan Car Paints. Priced at just £6.50, its a small price to pay to fix those stone chips and scratches quickly and easily.

Don’t forget that the cold weather can cause problems with batteries and coolant. We can give you a free battery check before it gets too cold – and offer no hassle options and quotes.  We also stock anti freeze and screenwash all year round.

SO whether you are in Leigh, Chorley or Skelmerdale, Wigan Car Paints is just a short ride away to get your car gleaming for the Summer weather.  We are always happy to give you advice to make the most of the products we offer. We always try to sell you what you need, rather than what we want you to buy.

We now have in stock a selection of metal flakes. We will be expanding this in the next few months to include candy colours.

We are now stocking some of the Millaco range of thinners and lacquers.
