Anyone have experience wrapping vehicles? Vinyl cost?

[Gurule92]

How much Vinyl does a truck normally use? This site has a digital camo large van size (which I think might be too much) for $471 ~ 580.

Seems like it'll legit be doable. But do i want to risk that much money? lol

I can only tell you my experience in applying the vinyl covers to the Model 3 interior.... just pay someone to do it.

One little air bubble and it's all over, and there are always are.

I did the pillar delete on my Y and I didn't really have a lot of air bubble issues. I think it depends on the vinyl.

I'm so torn on if I want to try it lol

Apparently it's fairly easy if you want to take the time and effort. Check out this video:

it does sound easy.... no soapy water like with window films?

Funny that one the "easy starter" they mention near the end is the one I did, and I still got a bubble..... OTH, I did it with the embossed Tesla logo underneath, so maybe that makes it harder to get rid of the air bubbles.

I imagine its be cheaper to buy rolls instead of a cut kit

Price aint bad, but never heard of that brand, but it does have air egress.

Wrap rolls tend to come in 60" width, so you'd need about 30 meters for a patterned material. (assuming you want the pattern to match between panels.

Oh man I didn't even think of how it would end up if you used multiple rolls. Good call.

Tbh I'm hoping I get my CT early enough to convince a local shop to do it on the cheap in exchange for advertisement ?

So it’s semi permeable?

Actually, anyone have source for a “mudder” wrap? ?

Air egress is the air channels that allow the air bubbles to be pushed out easier.
