What changes the quote
- Size and shape. More panels and deep curves mean more film and labour.
- Film. Premium cast vinyl conforms to curves and lasts longer than cheaper calendered film; specialty finishes such as chrome cost much more.
- Design and print. A printed design adds artwork and print time to the install.
- Condition. Damaged paint or old graphics to remove add prep time.
A colour-change wrap or a business wrap?
Many people searching "car wrap" want a new colour, not advertising. For a business, signage that shows your name, trade and number clearly from 20 metres away does most of the work; a full wrap is a brand decision.
