I have a 1999 olds alero and want to wrap it. Can someone give me an estimate of how much wrap I would need?

He wrapped his wrx. Not his alero

Hes probably the only one here with the answer to that. But hes rarely around.

An excellent wrap job with excellent materials can cost upwards of $3,000. Plastidip is a cheaper alternative.

He's an hour away from Fonzi and the DipYourCar HQ in Corral Springs so I would definitely go that route.

For a few $100 more than Plastic dip, you can go to Maaco, and the cheap $500 paint job will last longer than the dip

oh hai.

For my WRX it cost me $1k in material and about 25 hours of my life. the alero i'd imagine to be quite a bit easier to do as there is less weird angles and such. That being said... I have experience doing it... so if you DONT have experience... you can figure on 1500 worth of material cause you'll screw up the first few things.
