Partial car wrap cost

A partial wrap on a sedan costs $500 to $1,400 on a price guide, and a single panel such as a roof or hood starts at $250 to $300. A Sacramento shop starts accent graphics at $650 and a half-body wrap at $1,200. For a business car, lettering on the doors costs the least.

The numbers below come from shops and price guides that publish their prices. They are each source's own figures, not a national average. Your local quote will differ. This guide is for a business vehicle with printed graphics. Color change prices are listed for comparison.

Partial wrap price by vehicle

Vinyl Wrap Calculator is a price guide site, not a shop. It lists these ranges for mid-tier cast vinyl with a pro install (Vinyl Wrap Calculator full vs partial). The partial ranges assume 2 to 3 panels, such as the hood and roof.

Vehicle	Full wrap	Partial wrap
Compact car	$2,500 to $3,200	$400 to $1,000
Sedan	$2,800 to $4,000	$500 to $1,400
Compact SUV	$3,500 to $4,800	$700 to $1,800
Full-size SUV	$4,500 to $6,500	$900 to $2,200
Pickup truck	$4,000 to $6,000	$800 to $2,000
Van or Sprinter	$4,500 to $7,000	$1,000 to $2,500

Partial wrap price by panel

The same guide prices each panel on a mid-size sedan:

Panel	Price range
Roof	$250 to $500
Hood	$300 to $600
Trunk lid	$200 to $450
Side mirrors, pair	$100 to $250
One door	$200 to $500
Side or racing stripe	$300 to $700
Front bumper	$350 to $700

Its summary box starts a hood at $350 and a roof at $300, which does not match the low end of its own table. Treat the table as a range and ask the shop for a quote.

For combos it lists $550 to $950 for the hood and roof, $650 to $1,200 for the hood, roof, and mirrors, $800 to $2,000 for all doors, and $1,400 to $2,200 for half the car or more. It says a partial quote above $1,800 sits close enough to a full wrap to compare the two.

Shop prices for a partial

Art Printing Vehicle Wraps in Sacramento, CA lists four tiers (Art Printing partial wraps):

Lettering and decals. From $550 for a name, number, and logo on bare paint.
Accent graphics. From $650 for a hood, roof, mirrors, or one stripe or panel.
Partial or half wrap. From $1,200 for the lower body, the doors, a rear quarter, or one side.
Full color change. From $2,350.

Its pages for single models list higher full wrap start prices, so check the page for your car. It bills removal at $75 an hour.

Chicago Fleet Wraps starts work vehicle partials at $1,500 on a pickup, $2,300 on a cargo van, and $2,800 on a 16 to 18 ft box truck (Chicago Fleet Wraps commercial pricing). The same page says partial wraps start from $1,200. It claims a sides and rear partial gives 85% of the visual impact at 55% of the cost of a full wrap. That is the shop's claim, not a test we ran.

Do not match the factory color

Vinyl Wrap Calculator warns that vinyl does not match factory paint. A close match shows the gap in direct sun. Pick a contrast color so the partial looks planned. The page gives mixed advice on the same color in a different finish, such as matte black on gloss black, so ask the shop for a sample on your car. If the paint is faded, fix it first or wrap the whole car.

Partial wraps for a business car

A business partial carries the name, phone, and website on the doors and the rear. A color block on the lower doors gives the lettering a clean band to sit on. See layouts in partial truck wrap ideas, and compare partial van wrap cost, hood wrap cost, roof wrap cost, and car wrap cost for business.

Pick the design before you pay for it

Most of the cost is film and labor. A clear layout keeps the shop from billing design rounds. Open the free vehicle wrap mockup tool, type your name, phone, and colors, and see free watermarked previews in 6 styles. Clean files cost $9 for one concept or $29 for the Fleet Pack. Take the file to your shop for the partial wrap.
