Default Vinyl Wrap - Expected costs

Hey folks,

Been thinking about having my Forester vinyl wrapped, and was wondering how much i can expect to pay. Looking to get it wrapped in either Silver carbon fibre or Matte Black. Just wondering if having the whole car wrapped in the silver might be way too much..

Also, being as my car has multiple scratches and dents etc.. do i need to get some PDR done before i get the wrap? I'm guessing any discrepancies/blemishes will really stand out.

Any info would be great, thanks.

PDR definitely needed before wrap as it'll literally mold to the surface its applied to.

Here you go, straight from the horses mouth. Obviously a small car so expect more for a bigger car.. Heap of work to get it right.


We recently wrapped the first i-MiEV in WA for Galaxy Resources. Cost $4000 + GST.

Here's our step-by-step guide:
