Pricing help for wrapping a vehicle roof?
Hi all, i usually don’t ask this but am at a bit of a loss as its not something we usually really do…
i have been asked to quote for a job to wrap a vw beetle roof in black vinyl but have no idea what sort of price to submit..
any help or suggestions appreciated.
cheers

£60-£80 +vat solid black… use any cast, not necessarily a wrap needed, so cutting costs on the material.

Hi Rob, cheers for the response.

going to hijack a bit here, I have never been asked to put down big colour changes on panels….yet!
Would you treat the cast just like a wrap, and lay it down dry? Been using a bit of oracle 752C lately and that seems so aggresive on the first bite that i could only imagine it being a complete mare 😳
The wrap material on the B & P course seemed so much more workable.

ooops typo. Yes it is 751C.
At least its not just me then! lol

John, what Avery vinyl do you use then?
-
Depends what we’re doing of course, but this is Avery 900.

There are a few bubble free vinyls in solid colours available now. Might be a good time to try some out.

I wouldn’t use a bubble free on the vans above, but they would probably be fine on a Beetle roof.

John, on seeing that van and your earlier replies, would you just apply a long sheet of vinyl to the side and then work it down as for wrapping?
Does the cast vinyl snatch back off OK without tearing for re-positioning? -

For that particular client, we have to be able to supply individual sections that can be fitted with the skill levels found in the average bodyshop, for accident damage repair. Therefore we have each piece individually digitised
However, on a one off job we would go with one long sheet because it would be quicker and easier.
Avery 900 snatches back fine. As mentioned above the initial tack isn’t too high. As with everything though, practice and familiarity helps.

Cheers, John. Obviously some practice makes perfect for the big sheets!
