    I want to wrap my taco. I was wondering if those of you who have wrapped yours know how many feet to buy. The 3m 1080 wrap comes 5' by various lengths and wanted to buy once cry once. I have a quadcab shortbed. Thanks in advance for any input!

    Last Taco I wrapped(long bed) I used about 60-65ft If I remember. Buy a little extra for incidentals. This is your first wrap job?

    Following to see what you decide to do.

    Pay a pro.. Why? I'm no expert when it comes to vinyl, but a friend and a few simple tools plus hours of labor is all you need.

    Thank you for the input. I have never wrapped one myself. I helped a buddy place the larger pieces down when he wrapped his cj in camo. Turned out pretty good but he did all the smoothing and cutting.

    Kind of my thoughts... the majority of the cost is in the labor and I hate to pay labor for something when I am physically capable and have the time to do. I will keep you updated. Plan to have it complete before bow season starts here in Ga on 9/14/19.
