How much does it cost to wrap a super car?
What drives the price
- Vehicle size and body complexity, including curves, vents, and spoilers
- Film brand and finish quality (basic gloss/matte versus premium or specialty finishes)
- Surface prep needs, including paint correction and removal of an existing wrap or protective film
- Labor time and geographic differences in labor rates
- Warranty terms and aftercare guidance offered by the shop
- Inclusions like edge sealing, door jambs, and removing/replacing mirrors or other components
Because supercars vary widely in design and finish options, the exact quote will depend on the specific vehicle and the chosen film.
Typical price ranges for supercars
The ranges below reflect common scenarios for premium, full exterior wraps on high-end sports cars. Keep in mind that unusual colors or elaborate patterns can push prices higher.
- Basic glossy or matte wrap (single color, standard curves): $7,000–$12,000
- Premium finishes (satin, metallic, carbon-look, two-tone): $10,000–$18,000
- Chrome, color-shift, or multi-effect finishes: $15,000–$25,000
- Complex projects (extensive prep, removal of old wrap/PPF, roof/wing/mirrors, meticulous edge work): $20,000–$40,000
These figures cover typical exterior wraps. If you add elements like interior trimming, engine bay accents, or wheels, the price can increase further. For many owners, the upper end of the range reflects top-tier finishes and thorough preparation.
What to expect during the wrap process
Understanding the workflow helps you plan and set expectations for timing and outcomes.
- Initial assessment, measurements, and test fit of the selected film
- Surface prep, paint correction if needed, and removal of any existing wrap or protective films
- Precise cutting and templating to align pieces around curves and details
- Application of the vinyl, with heat shaping and edge sealing to ensure a seamless finish
- Trimming of excess material and final inspection for gaps or misalignments
- Curing, final quality check, and delivery with care instructions and warranty documentation
Most supercar wrap jobs take several days to a couple of weeks, depending on the shop’s schedule, the complexity of the design, and whether additional work (like PPF or interior accents) is included. Expect a detailed aftercare guide and a warranty window from the installer.
Choosing the right shop
To maximize value and satisfaction, consider these criteria when selecting a wrap specialist.
- Proven experience with high-end or exotic vehicles
- A visible portfolio of supercar wraps and client referrals
- Preferred film brands and a clear warranty policy
- Comprehensive quotes that include removal, prep, labor, and any additional services (PPF, wheels)
- A clean, well-equipped facility and transparent communication about timing and expectations
Ask for before-and-after photos, references, and a detailed written estimate. Confirm what is covered by the warranty and what maintenance is recommended to preserve the finish.
