How long does it take to have a car wrapped?

I’m thinking about getting my car wrapped, but I’m worried about how long it will be gone. I can’t afford to be without a car for too many days—it’s my only way to get to work. So, how long does it take to wrap a car?

Great question! How long it takes to wrap a car depends on many things, like the make and model. Here’s what you need to know:
The process of wrapping a car starts with choosing the color, finish, and application. Wraps come in countless shapes, sizes, and colors, so this part can take a while (but on your own time).
Next, you can schedule a drop-off time with the shop, where they’ll cut and measure the vinyl, apply it, allow it to adhere, and review the finished product. Some shops will detail your car after the process is complete.
How long it takes depends on the make and model of your car, the trim package, and how complex the wrap is. A basic full-color wrap usually takes three to four days, plus another two to three days to adhere.
Luckily, wraps last an average of three to seven years, so once you get it done, you won’t need to touch it up for a while.
