Vinyl wrap has been increasingly popular in recent years and has been changing the game in the automotive industry for a while. The variety in colours and finishes has skyrocketed, and the quality and durability are at the very high level, so we now have virtually endless possibilities. But the most common question for a potential customer is obviously how much does a vinyl wrap cost?
Many factors have the impact to the overall car wrap cost, such as film type, vehicle size, model and current condition, as well as the type of the wrap which can be for example custom printed commercial wrap or a vinyl wrap colour change. We will try to cover some of the most important points when it comes to the car wrap quoting.
Also if you are comparing the prices for a car wrap, make sure you are comparing apples to apples, and ask for a specific quote, as some of the shops just do the printing, so you would have to find someone to install the vinyl, while some other shops will try to charge you additional money for dismantling the handles and other bits and pieces.
Depending on the size of the vehicle, the amount of vinyl needed will have quite a bit of impact on the price, followed by the time needed for dismantling the bits and pieces such as door handles, spoilers, flares, etc. in order to get the job done professionally.
The more complex shapes there are on the vehicle, the more time it will take to wrap it, hence the cost will increase. Some bumpers, for instance, with deep corrugations and plenty of compound shapes (concave and convex), might be very challenging and time-consuming for us to do.
Also, a major impact on the price for the full-colour change will have the decision whether you want the door jambs wrapped. This process itself can take as much time as the rest of the car to wrap, so you will be looking at a higher price mark.
A smooth and clean surface is required for vinyl to adhere well, and also to acquire a nice and smooth end finish. Therefore, the overall condition of the car is also very important when pricing the vinyl wrap.
For example if we need to scrub dirt and tar, repair small dents, or remove the old vinyl and glue residue, this will definitely increase the cost, as it tends to be a fairly labour intensive job.
With a vast variety of brands, colours and finishes to choose from, picking the vinyl is definitely the fun part. But choose wisely, as the price varies accordingly. We definitely recommend staying with the top brands like Avery Dennison and 3M, as they will last much longer and look way better. Speciality films like brushed aluminium, chrome and carbon fibre are usually way more expensive as well as more demanding when it comes to installing them, so have that in mind when deciding which parts of the car you want to be wrapped with a specialty vinyl.
On the other hand, if you feel like wrapping your car or a boat in a totally custom printed vinyl, you need to allow for additional costs of our designer, which again depends on the particular request and its complexity.
Different category again is the commercial vehicle wrap or signage. Here the price also depends on the design you require (full or partial wrap) and whether you have the artwork ready, or you need the turn-key solution from us. Depending on the vehicle type and amount of your business details you want to put on, quite often you can get very impressive results with a simple but effective partial van or a ute wrap on a budget. It’s best to give us a call and let us know what you would like to get, and we will do our best to optimize the cost without compromising the final look.
It’s fairly simple: you get what you pay for. You want your car to looks awesome for some time after it has left the workshop isn’t it? You don’t want bubbles, peels at the corners, overstretched vinyl that will eventually crack and similar issues you get if you are just after a cheap vinyl wrap.
So picking the right company to wrap your car is crucial. We bring to the table more than 15 years of experience in printing and wraps, as well as a great attention to detail. Everything you need to do is to say WHAT you want, and we will do the rest professionally.
Although there are numerous factors that will have the impact on the final vinyl wrap price, we tried to give you a rough estimate of the price you should expect to pay for the full vehicle wrap with Vinyl Wrapz Perth.
If your car has any custom body kits that would be an extra charge.
