Re: Wrapping cost
Depends on a whole number of factors.
Full wrap or print?
All door shuts done?
Vinyl quality (eBay, 3 year, 5 year)?
Textured vinyl (matte, carbon, wood)?
Location (Inverness, Central London)?
Wrappers experience (mates cousins friend, Yiannimize)?
When you take all the above into consideration, you could pay anything from £600 to £12,000
It's best to know exactly what you want and then ask wrappers in your area for a quote.

Wrapping cost
If your going for an affect in your wrap like a crazy northern lights style then yeah it can get expensive. If it because your paint is looking dull I’m sure I watched on a wheeler dealers they rubbed off the top coat filled in a few stone chips then re gloss coated it. Looked like new and that was like a £1000.

Re: Wrapping cost
Can’t bloody find it aaaahhh I know it I will keep trying. Sorry. Basically the car was dull and the filled a few stone chips and little blemishes then hand sanded it all With a 400 then 800 then 1200 then 2500. Then they buffed it with a polisher and it was gleaming.

Re: Wrapping cost
Of course it will depend on dealer and film used. I am a sign maker and took a course in wrapping vehicles (which wasn't cheap to begin with!)
I did a practice / home wrap on my seat leon. The material cost about £250-300 - it took me over 40 hours to do by myself. Some parts should really have been done by 2 people at least for certain areas of the car. To do nicely some parts of the vehicle need to be removed ie door handles bump strips etc. Either way i dare say its its £800 in labour (i imagine most companies use 2 guys over 20 hours). That would be as they call a kerbside wrap so not including the insides! So roughly a grand or more i reckon.
Here's what i did to my old car

Wrapping cost
Carwrapping... a Caddy take at least 20 meters or a little more if bumpers and mirrors are color coded to cover the whole car.
I did my previous Caddy twice and other Cars as well. Give me 2 days not normal working days for wrapping, but before that the taking apart of Parts of the car which may be removed and to clean it right plus later on mount it back all loose Parts back on it... 3 days on my own and Yes Whitney is right that Both sides are better to handle with two persons the rest can be a one men job but as Well bumpers is easier with 2 persons.
I would say A brand plus hours from About £1800.-
Quicker result and cheaper vinyl Will lower the price and Will be visable afterwards in the result...
