Full Color Change Partial Wrap Chrome Delete Paint Protection Film Commercial / Fleet Specialty / Custom BackNext ## How much does a vehicle wrap cost? The honest answer: a full vinyl wrap in the US usually lands between **$2,500 and $7,500**, depending on your vehicle, the vinyl you pick, and where you live. Our wrap calculator above gives you a real, location-adjusted range — but here's what's actually moving the number. ### Wrap cost by vehicle type - **Sedan / coupe:** $2,500–$5,000 full color change. ~50–60 ft of 60" vinyl. - **SUV / crossover:** $3,000–$6,000. Larger panels but simpler curves than a coupe. - **Pickup truck (F-150, Silverado, Ram 1500):** $4,000–$7,500. Add $500–$1,500 for bed liner overlap or matte finish. - **Heavy-duty truck (F-250, F-350, 2500HD):** $5,000–$9,000. - **Cargo van / sprinter:** $4,000–$10,000+ depending on roof height and graphics. - **Commercial fleet:** typically $3,500–$8,000 per vehicle, with volume discounts at 3+ vehicles. ### Full wrap vs partial wrap vs chrome delete A **partial wrap** (hood, roof, mirrors, accents) typically runs 30–50% of a full wrap — $800–$2,500 for most vehicles. **Chrome delete** (blacking out window trim, badges, grille surrounds) is the cheapest entry point at $300–$900. **Paint protection film (PPF)** is its own category — clear, self-healing, and 2–3× the price of color vinyl, but it actually protects the paint underneath. ### Why prices vary by city Labor is the biggest variable. A full wrap is 25–40 hours of skilled work. Shops in Los Angeles, Miami, NYC and the Bay Area run 15–30% higher than the national average; mid-size metros (Dallas, Atlanta, Phoenix, Denver) sit near the median; smaller cities and rural areas come in 10–20% lower. The calculator factors your location into the final estimate. ### What changes the final quote - **Vinyl brand & finish:** 3M 2080, Avery SW900, KPMF, Hexis. Matte and satin run ~10% over gloss. Chrome and color-shift vinyl can double the material cost. - **Removal of old wrap:** add $300–$800 if your vehicle is already wrapped. - **Paint correction / prep:** if the paint is contaminated or has heavy swirls, expect $150–$500 in prep. - **Complex curves:** Porsche 911, Tesla Model X, anything with deep body lines uses 10–20% more material. - **Custom design or printed graphics:** add $500–$3,000+ for design, color matching, and printing. ### Is a wrap cheaper than a respray? Almost always, yes. A quality respray on a sedan starts around $7,000 and can pass $15,000 for show-quality work. A premium vinyl wrap delivers the same color change for $3,000–$5,000, protects the OEM paint, and is fully reversible — which preserves resale value. The trade-off: a wrap lasts 5–7 years; paint lasts a decade or more. ### Get an accurate quote from a local installer The calculator above gives you the right ballpark.
