What affects a full vehicle wrap quote?

Vehicle size, how much of it you wrap, the film and finish, how much comes apart for clean edges, and the paint underneath. The inspection is what makes the number real.

A wrap quote is not a price per car. It is the sum of a few things that vary a lot between a coupe and a long-wheelbase SUV, between gloss and a colour-shift film, and between a car that arrives perfect and one that needs work first. Here is what moves the number, so you can read your estimate rather than guess at it.

Vehicle size and body complexity

A coupe and a long-wheelbase SUV are different projects. More panel area means more film, and more curves, recesses and edges mean more installation time — a flat door is quick, a sculpted bumper is not.

Coverage: full, partial or accents

A full wrap covers every painted panel. A partial wrap targets the roof, hood, mirrors or a two-tone split. Custom liveries and chrome delete are their own scope. The coverage you choose is the single biggest lever on the quote.

Film line and finish

Gloss has the widest colour range and the paint look. Satin, matte, metallic, colour-shift, carbon and textured films carry premium material cost. Final colour approval happens on a physical sample, never on a screen — digital previews are illustrative.

Disassembly for clean edges

Badges, trim and handles are removed where needed rather than wrapped around, so edges can be tucked and seams planned. That disassembly is real labour, and it is what separates a wrap that reads like paint from one that reads like a covering.

Paint condition

Vinyl preserves whatever is underneath it. Existing chips or defects are documented before any film goes down, and damaged or repainted surfaces are assessed first, because weak paint can lift with any film. Correction before wrapping, where it is needed, is part of the quote.

How to get a number

Build the project in the Build Studio for an instant estimated range, then submit it. Final pricing is confirmed after we review your photos and inspect the vehicle. Prefer to talk first? The studio's number takes calls and texts.

Published prices: Vehicle Wraps. Every figure is confirmed once the vehicle is inspected.
