A CT wrap install should be less than $1000

Here in Los Angeles the dudes standing out side Home Depot want $25 a hour to dig a hole at your house so I would def say a good wrapper should be payed more then $30. I’m also not spending 18 hours to wrap it.
another thing I’m not seeing here is you’re also paying for the quality of film used and brand names if you are into the $4500 range. I come from the “you get what you pay for “ way of thinking. But yeah I’m sure they make it up a bit when they know you dropped $100k on the truck they know 5k isn’t a problem, also if you ask your wrapper if he’s going to go around the edges and he says know and charging you $4500 then yeah you are probably getting stiffed a bit

I think we’re on the same page, I’m saying that wraps are expensive, and not overpriced. $30/hr was just the from a quick search for what window ringers get paid an hour, which I way lower than I thought, our Taco Bell starts at $21 an hour.

Yeah I was agreeing and adding to your post not disagreeing

I did my own wrap from Tesbros, the kit was amazing and came with everything you could possible need. It took me about 18 hours to wrap, plus 3 hours the day before to clean, prep and clay bar the truck. If you put that into an hourly wage cost and expect your wrapper to be professional making $30ish an hour(I know they wouldn’t take as long as I did, but they shouldn’t be paid less because their experience allows them to finish faster), plus the fact the company needs to make money.

Let us think about it slightly differently.

The way insurance / OEMs handle this is to assign std hours for a job and a std rate. What should that be for a wrap ?

If someone asks for $3k labor charges and works for 10 hours - they are asking for $300 an hour. Is that the right rate ? There are very few professions where someone can get that kind of hourly rate and those professionals usually needs several years of education etc.
