How Much Does It Cost to Wrap a Truck

Have you ever thought about wrapping your truck? A wrap is a cool way to change the color of your truck without painting it, and it protects the paint underneath from chips and scratches too.

But how much does it cost? In this guide I will show you what real wrap shops charge for a pickup, what a partial wrap costs, and how long a wrap lasts, so you can tell if a quote is fair.

How Much Does It Cost to Wrap a Truck?

For a full wrap on a full-size pickup like an F-150 or a Silverado, most of the prices I found sit between about $3,500 and $5,500. Here is what shops and suppliers list:

Chicago Fleet Wraps also shows how a shop works out the price. It charges by the square foot of vinyl, $13.21 a square foot with a $2,850 minimum, and a pickup takes about 260 to 320 square feet.

Price by Truck Model

Metro Restyling, a company that sells wrap vinyl, lists these price ranges for a professional wrap on popular trucks:

So the bigger the truck, the more vinyl and the more hours it takes. A crew cab with a long bed will sit near the top of its range.

Partial Wraps Cost Less

If you only want the hood, the roof, the bed sides or some accents, a partial wrap is much cheaper.

Metro Restyling puts it at $500 to $1,500, Pacific Truck Colors at $500 to $2,000, and the Chicago shop starts partial wraps on a pickup at $1,600.

Small jobs are cheaper still. The Chicago shop does a chrome delete, where the chrome trim is wrapped black, from $350, and business lettering on a pickup from $450.

What Changes the Price?

• The size of the truck, because it decides how much vinyl you need.
• The vinyl. The Chicago shop only uses cast vinyl like 3M 2080 or Avery Dennison, and says the cheaper calendered vinyl shrinks and lifts. Chrome and color-shift films cost more than normal gloss, satin or matte.
• Printed or plain color. A printed wrap with your logo needs design work, while a color change uses one plain film.
• The shape of the truck. Deep curves, door handles and bumpers take longer to wrap neatly.
• The condition of the paint. Vinyl sticks best to clean, healthy paint, so chips and rust should be fixed first.

How Long Does a Truck Wrap Last?

Good cast vinyl lasts about 5 to 7 years, according to both Chicago Fleet Wraps and Metro Restyling.

The Chicago shop adds that a truck kept in a garage stays closer to the 7-year end, because sun and freezing weather are what wear a wrap out.

And when you want your old color back, a wrap made of good film comes off without hurting the factory paint.

Wrap or Paint?

Chicago Fleet Wraps compares the two on its own price page. A color change wrap took 2 to 4 days there, against 1 to 3 weeks for a full repaint, and it can be taken off again.

So if you want a new color for a few years, or you plan to sell the truck and want the original paint protected, I would go for a wrap. If you want a color for the life of the truck, get a paint quote too and compare.

Can You Wrap a Truck Yourself?

You can, and Metro Restyling sells film and tools for people who want to try. But a full truck is a big first project, with a lot of vinyl to waste if a panel goes wrong.

If you have never wrapped anything, I would start with something small like the mirror caps or the tailgate, and leave the full wrap to a shop.
