A striking VW T5.1 campervan transformation with Oracal® 970RA and Coala Interior Film.
Custom campervan renovation
The challenge
The owner of a privately owned VW Transporter T5.1 campervan was looking for a complete refresh—something bold, unique, and full of personality. Starting with a standard black finish, the aim was to create a vehicle that stood out on the road, yet felt refined and cohesive inside and out.
The solution
The transformation was brought to life by the expert team at Complete Graphics (Witney, Oxford), using ORACAL® 970RA from Antalis in Anthracite Metallic Matt with custom Traffic Yellow detailing for a sporty, dynamic edge. Inside, to soften the existing bright red accents, the internal cupboard doors were wrapped using Coala Interior Film (reference N3) to seamlessly match the current furniture framework -bringing calm, neutral tones to the living space of the converted camper.
“I’m absolutely over the moon with the result. It’s like a whole new van—sleek on the outside, soothing on the inside. I couldn’t have asked for better workmanship or materials.”

Why Oracal® 970RA?
Complete Graphics chose Oracal® 970RA Premium Wrapping Cast Vinyl for its exceptional performance and ease of application. This high-quality wrap film is known for:
- Built-in RapidAir® technology – allowing quick, bubble-free application.
- Outstanding conformability – ideal for complex curves and recessed areas.
- Durability & UV resistance – long-lasting colour and finish, even in tough outdoor conditions.
“Oracal® 970RA is one of the best materials we’ve worked with—it applies beautifully and delivers a flawless, professional finish every time,” said Cameron Piper from Complete Graphics.
Interior calm with Coala Interior Film
To continue the transformation inside the camper, Coala Interior Film was used to re-wrap cupboard doors, changing them from red to a cream colour. The result was a lighter, more serene space—perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure.
Coala Interior Film benefits:
- Easy to apply with minimal disruption.
- Self-adhesive and repositionable.
- Durable, scratch-resistant surface.
- Huge choice of textures and colours to suit any environment.
