Body Wrap knowledge

I have a 2009 LB DBLCB and it's White. I hate white but the truck was too good of a deal to pass up. I was thinking about repainting it with a flat black. But thought wrapping might be a better idea.
Have any of you done a full wrap? How much did it cost and how has the life of the wrap been on it?

Cheers!

 

Following - I have an 07 indigo ink thats faded really bad. I want to wrap in a flat dark blue. Curious on price / durability.

Also any pros / cons on a wrap vs truck bed liner paint job?

 

You're looking at $4k to have it wrapped and the wrap will need to be replaced in 5 years

 

Do it yourself for about $700. Not too hard, just takes time.

 

Cost me $2k canukistan doll hairs to get my rig wrapped matte black. I am on year 4 of the wrap. Had it wrapped to protect the stock paint while I bush wack the ball sack off it.

Not 1 rip or tear yet.



With sweet ghosted decals on the ass end. Just a sticker under the wrap.

 

@boogie3478 these guys need your sage advice haha

 

I beat em to it

 

Wrap you can pull of, bed liner is permanent.

 

You can also check out @TacoZim ’s Rescue build thread. He did a DIY wrap that looks terrific- at least in the pics..

Ive got my hood and roof done and in San Diego going rate was $300.
$1500 to wrap whole truck..bear in mind a good company would need to remove headlights, badges, and roof antenna to do it right if you plan on doing whole truck. Guy told me if you garage it, plan on having the vinyl last 7 yrs, un-garaged about 5.. Your mileage may vary if you don't keep it clean, beat it up, etc.

 

I had mine wrapped about a year and a half ago now and it's holding up surprisingly well for the abuse I've put it through ... plus VA salts the roads during the winter here. Cost for everything was 2500 but when you start shopping around you'll see that price can vary a ton.

 

Understatement of the day!

 

There was one guy I know that paid 750 for some high quality stuff. He did the wrap himself (first time he ever did wrap) and it came out amazing. Took him about 8 days at 7-10 hours a day.

 

White is the best color too maintain,and Black the worst color ever.

 

@TacoZim

 

Approx $500 to do just the truck. $200 or so extra to do the camper.

Did it my self and completely stripped the truck to do it right.

Got a write up on my build thread on the first page. Should be post #2!

 

^One of my favorite 2nd gens. Are your fender flares trimmed bushwackers or what?

 

OEM’s trimmed 2.5”! And then wrapped them matte black

 

It's true...but it's WHITE. I named my truck Puffy Marshmellow for a reason. :/

A flat dark grey would be awesome.
