Cost to Wrap a Car

When wrapping cars, the costs and labor associated with a vehicle can differ greatly from one car to the next, even with vehicles the same size. Everything from the condition of your vehicle, to the type of wrap you choose, to how much of the vehicle you choose to wrap, to the finish that is provided will affect the cost of the wrap. In this guide, we will discuss the advantages to getting your car or commercial vehicle wrapped and explore the different factors that lead to the final cost to wrap a car.

Pros & Cons of Wrapping your Car

Pros:

  • Protect your paint Between the small rocks that ding up your car on the road, to the sun beating down on your car’s paint every day, to the drivers that aren’t paying full attention, a vinyl wrap is a great way to protect the underlying paint and surface of a car. This not only makes your car look better now, but also increases the resale value later.
  • Customize your vehicle The possibilities are endless when choosing the design for your wrap. Change the look of your car without the hassle and increased cost that comes with painting your car. Wraps are removable should you have a change in heart regarding the color of your car, wraps are cheaper than a new paint job, and wraps take less time in the shop to complete, which gets you back in your vehicle quicker.

Cons:

  • You get what you pay forAs we are about to discuss, there are a lot of factors that can change the cost it takes to wrap a car. At the end of the day, you can choose to invest in quality labor and materials that can make your wrap last when compared to cheaper options. You can wrap for cheap, but expect to see the result of this in the lack of longevity on the wrap.
The cost of a wrap boils down to two things: the vehicle and the wrap. Below, we will dive into each of these factors and what influences the price to move up and down depending on the choices you make.

The Vehicle

Obviously, the vehicle itself has a large impact on the cost of wrapping it. This includes the size of the vehicle, but also some other factors like the condition of the vehicle and complexities of the vehicle’s body. Naturally, a larger vehicle will require more labor and material to wrap it. But other features can change the cost of two similarly sized vehicles:

Cars or body kits with a lot of angles

The less flat the surface of the car is, the more detail needs to be paid to ensure that the body is properly wrapped. Body kits especially provide the wrapper with much more detail and linework for great results, increasing the time of labor.

Disassembling time of vehicles can change between models

Depending on how much of your car you want wrapped, some features like your car’s bumpers may need to be removed to provide the best looking wrap. In some cars, disassembly is easy, but others are more tedious. Cars that take longer to disassemble and reassemble take more time, which will be reflected in the final cost.

The condition of the vehicle

If vehicles come in with body imperfections, these blemishes need to be fixed or removed before the wrap can be applied. This usually manifests as having to sand the car to ensure there is a flat surface for the wrap to cling to. Cars that require more preparation to wrap will raise the overall price of the wrap.

How much of the car you want wrapped

While many people choose to get full car wraps, this isn’t the only option. Should you want, you can have just your hood wrapped or maybe just the sides of your vehicle if you’re searching for specific commercial applications. Obviously, the more of your car you want wrapped, the more labor and material required, thereby increasing the overall price.

The Wrap

The wrap itself can drastically change the cost to wrap your car depending on what wrap you want and how you want it wrapped. Listed below are the leading factors that will alter the price of the wrap:

The type of design and how many colors are involved

The more complex and intricate a design is, the more the material will cost to produce it. This includes the amount of colors used in the design; more colors will increase the cost of the wrap compared to just a uniform color choice.

The brand of wrap

Your choice in the brand of vinyl wrap will affect the final price for the car wrapping. There are a number of brands to choose from depending on the type and quality of wrap you want. Here are some of the most popular brand names for car vinyl wraps:

The finish of the vinyl

There are a few ways to customize the finish on your wrap including satin, gloss, or matte. Depending on your choice in finish, the price of your car wrap may vary.
