Cost drivers
What changes the price
Two cars can get two very different quotes. These six things decide where yours lands.
Vehicle size
More surface means more film and more hours on the install. A compact car needs far less than a high-roof van or a long box truck.
Coverage
Full wrap, partial, spot graphics or lettering. A partial covers about half the vehicle and blends into the paint, so it uses less film and less labor.
Film
Premium cast films from 3M and Avery Dennison cost more and last longer. Chrome and color-shift films cost the most.
Design
Printed wraps need artwork built for your exact vehicle. We quote design separately: partial wrap design from $650, full wrap design from $1,000.
Prep and removal
Old graphics, peeling clear coat and rust all add prep time. Wrap removal starts from $500.
Complexity
Deep recesses, rivets, compound curves, roof racks and door jambs take longer to wrap cleanly. Flat, simple panels go faster.
Cost over time
What a wrap costs per year
A wrap runs for years, so divide the price by the years you'll drive it. Printed wraps typically last 5 to 7 years with proper care. Vertical surfaces can reach up to 8 years. Hoods and roofs take the most sun and usually last about 3.
| Example | Math | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Full car wrap | From $3,000 over 5 years | $600 a year, or $50 a month |
| Van wrap with full design | From $3,900 + design from $1,000 = $4,900 over 5 years | $980 a year, or about $82 a month. Over 7 years, about $58 a month. |
| Full pickup wrap with full design | From $4,000 + design from $1,000 = $5,000 over 5 years | $1,000 a year, or about $83 a month |

Two kinds of wrap
Color change vs printed wraps
Want a new look for a personal or company car? Go color change. Want calls and website visits from the vehicle? Go printed. You can also mix them: a color change body with cut-vinyl lettering.
Printed wrap
Your artwork, printed on wrap film and laminated: logos, photos, phone number, website. Best when the vehicle needs to sell for you. Design is quoted separately.
Color change wrap
Solid-color film with the finish built in: gloss, satin, matte, metallic, brushed, carbon fiber or color shift, from 3M, Avery Dennison and KPMF. We quote color change per vehicle, film and add-ons such as door jambs or chrome delete.
Fleets
Fleet pricing
Wrapping three vans or thirty? Fleet pricing: ask us. Send the year, make and model of each vehicle and how many of each. We plan installs around your schedule, with several installers on the job and pick-up and delivery to keep downtime short.
Budget
Ways to spend less
- Start with door lettering from $350 and add graphics later.
- Use spot graphics from $615 to put your logo on the doors, rear or tailgate.
- Choose a partial wrap from $2,500. It covers about half the vehicle and blends into the paint.
- Fix peeling clear coat and rust first. Bad paint adds prep time and can lift with the film.
