Vehicle wrap vinyl quantity question

[Robert Lambie]

for full car including bumpers etc 13m doesn’t sound a lot. if you calculate 13, you should really be rounding it up to 15.

We ALWAYS ask to see the vehicle before ordering material, as good as Impact outlines are, they’re only 2D, and don’t account for curves etc.

See the vehicle and measure it.

Always order enough to cover any mistakes. I would say 18m.

quote Jon Marshall:

I couldn’t agree more jon, but 5 metres more for mistakes mate? :lol1: 😉
Joking aside, you should always compensate plenty on vinyl requirement.

Hi Jon
All joking aside, I agree with Robert.
I allow at least 3-5 metres per vehicle extra, in case of mistakes. Cost the extra in to your estimate, that way if you do have a few metres spare at the end of the job, they always come in handy to re-sell for things like bonnet/roof wraps – Double bubble :thumbup2:
There is nothing worse than coming to the end of a wrap only to realise you forgot to allow for the wing mirrors, grilles etc and you have no vinyl to finish.

Err on the side of caution – better too much than not enough – Good luck

I have just checked the stats…the car is 4.36m long, 1.8 wide. I would go at least 15, and get 3 extra.

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated!
