Who would be the best go to person to get an entire car wrapped? Anyone in the San Jose area or anyone willing to do a mobile service in the bayarea?

Do people price it upon the service, material, and time to do the work, or they mark it up depending on the car? I know you have to take into account if you're wrapping a cheap car that you can afford to F up, but the service should be the same across the board.
Reason why I ask is, I got quoted an outrageous price.

im not sure what prices you are finding but ill chime in if it helps


if its a E60 5 series....youre looking at $2500 minimum for a bare bones wrap (basic colors/finishes/no trim, no mirror bases, etc) and about $3500 for a wrap that includes door jambs and the works....if you want chrome wrap its going to be like $8k to $10k....

true, the pricing can go up dramatically if its an exotic....meaning lambos or ferarris because you have to take much more time & prep so you dont damage anything....hell you might have to call in a tech who can knowledgibly help you take apart the trim w/o damaging it.


if you want your car wrapped for less than $2k i dont think you are going to find really good quality to be honest. you get what you pay for...

Thanks Chris, at least your prices are more reasonable and you at least explained it better than some of the other guys about working with exotics.

I'll show you what I need wrapped. Entire car to gloss white.
