How Much Does a Car Wrap Cost in Australia?

A car wrap changes the entire look of a vehicle without touching the factory paint underneath. Prices vary a lot depending on how much of the car is covered and the vinyl used.

Typical price ranges

• Partial wrap (bonnet, roof, or a set of panels): $500 to $1,500
• Full colour change wrap on a small car: $2,500 to $4,000
• Full colour change wrap on a mid-size SUV or ute: $3,500 to $6,000
• Premium finishes (chrome, satin, colour shift vinyl): $5,000 to $8,000 or more

What actually affects the price

• Vinyl quality: cheaper vinyls fade and lift sooner, while premium cast vinyl from established brands lasts longer and holds colour better.
• Vehicle size and shape: more panels and tighter curves mean more labour and more offcuts.
• Finish type: gloss and matte finishes are usually cheaper than chrome, satin, or colour shift options.
• Removal of old wrap or badges: if the car already has an old wrap or decals, removing them adds time before the new wrap can go on.

How long does a wrap last

A quality wrap typically lasts 5 to 7 years with proper care, though colour shift and specialty finishes can be shorter lived. Keeping the car garaged and hand washing rather than using automatic car washes helps it last closer to the upper end.
