Hi Roger,

Well, the price depends on who's doing it, and what they are selling
you. A Certified installer selling a product with a warranty is probably
doing to be in the $10/sqft price range for printing and materials. That
doesn't include the price of the design, or its installation on the
vehicle.

The usual cost for a wrap on a vanagon sized vehicle is around
$2500-$3500. Some vendors may substitute cheaper materials or choose to
work for less, but as in many other realms you usually get what you pay
for, most of the time.

Happy Trails,
