I hear ya! Cars are expensive
, so it makes sense to hold onto them as long as possible. Luckily, you can make yours look brand new again for a relatively small price tag. How much a wrap costs depends on:
Type and curvature of your vehicle
Size and complexity of the wrap
Quality and material of the wrap
For most average-sized vehicles, you will have to purchase a roll of 5 foot by 60-foot vinyl, which can run anywhere from $200 to $800.
If you don’t feel comfortable applying the wrap yourself, you can go to a pro—but the price will jump dramatically. An auto body shop will charge between $2,200 and $5,000, depending on the vehicle and the job’s complexity. Some finishes, such as a carbon fiber look, can cost more than $6,000!
It is worth noting that you can wrap sections of the car, such as the hood or the roof, which will cost less money. Many people choose to cover just the front end in clear vinyl to prevent dents and dings from rocks.
In the end, if you choose to DIY, the process is pretty cheap, but it does take practice. So if you don’t mind a few minor imperfections, give it a go!
