Looks great in the sun, full vehicle wraps range from $2200-4000 depending on vehicle size, color picked, material used ect

How does it react to weather elements?
3-5+ years. If installed the right way I have seen vehicle go 5+ years on a wrap still looking brand new. It depends how big of a section nneds to be reapplied and hood or fender would take a couple hours

Ebay material will last you a year tops. Spend the extra money on 3m

We used a candy black (Clear with gloss black mix) once we got the darkness we were looking for we clear coat the lights, then wet-sand and buff.

That's pretty crazy, It took a while to realize what it actually was to be honest, thought that was just the paint!

Just curious how much would it be to wrap one of our Fbodies like this?

And I'm assuming this thing stands up well to washing and all that?

Anywhere between 2500-2750 as long as it is not a full CF wrap

I have heard from others here who have wrapped their cars, and freinds cars, that the prices range from 700-1000 for the materials. I'm guessing they must be using a lower quality wrap orrrr.. what's the catch here?

Then you re-paint a vehicle it is about 500-1500 in material and it will cost anywhere from 3000+ for a paint job.

When we wrap a vehicle we spend 100+ hours between 3 people to ensure the vehicle looks flawless. In the wrap business you get what you pay for.
