Hey gergnamhel2! I recently got my compact sedan wrapped, and it cost me under $2,000. Keep in mind, the size and complexity of your car can significantly impact the price.

I can vouch for that! I wrapped my SUV last month, and since it required more material and labor, it cost nearly double what @zippypinhead paid.

Another factor to consider is the type of vinyl you choose. Premium brands like 3M and Avery Dennison are more expensive but they last longer and look better.

That's true, @whitworthwizard. I went with a premium satin finish on my car and it still looks great even after three years. It was definitely worth the extra cost.

Interesting! What about the labor costs? Does it vary a lot?

I tried wrapping my car myself to save some money. Bad idea! Ended up spending more to fix the imperfections. Professional installers make a big difference.

[gergnamhel2]

Definitely. Basic installation can cost between $1,000 to $1,500, but more complex jobs can go up to $3,000.

Speaking of types of wraps, has anyone tried a partial wrap? Is it really more cost-effective?

[zippypinhead]

Yes, I've done a partial wrap on my car. It's definitely cheaper and quicker to install. I wrapped just the hood and side mirrors in carbon fiber—it looks awesome!.
