    Hi Guys and Gals,

    I have a smart car to colour change, just wondering how much material does a smart car take to wrap.

    From Mark

    If you’re doing the Tridion as well then about 10 metres.

    I would go for 10 meters, smart car is not the easiest to wrap front and back is quite challenging.

    if you have never wrapped a certain type of vehicle, i would advise you to see it and measure it in person.
    not only will you get more of an accurate judgement on the amount of media required. you should also be looking at the vehicles recesses and obstacles to help determine which media best suits the job in hand. it will also allow you to guesstimate how long the wrap should take you seeing as its your first time on this vehicle.
    3 important factors you need to take into consideration when pricing your work.

    People expect them to be cheap as they are small, but they are tricky to do and use more vinyl than you would think.
