A lot of our customers ask us how much vinyl they should buy to wrap for their Chevrolet Silverado. In the past, we weren’t able to provide the best answer which is why we teamed up with Justin Pate from the Wrap Institute. Now, we can give you an accurate amount that you will need to wrap your vehicle. Even better than that, with Pate's help, we can tell you how to measure and prepare the vinyl wrap and cut it into sections so you can wrap all the surfaces of your vehicle. You can watch the full video below and pause the video so you can accurately follow each step for the best possible result.
The Chevy Silverado 1500 was first released in 1998 as a 1999 model. The light-duty pickup truck was based on the GMT 800 platform - which General Motors used in suburban and other full-size SUVs - and was designed as a larger and more aerodynamic replacement for the C/K truck. The first generation had a classic work truck body style that came in three cab styles: regular cab with two doors, extended cab with four doors, and crew cab with four front-hinged doors.
For the first generation Chevrolet Silverado, you will need about 15 yards of vinyl wraps to completely wrap it. The vinyl wrap is going to cover the entire exterior besides the windows, lights, and tires. That includes the doors, trunks, hoods, roof, pillar post trim, bumpers, mirrors, rocker panels, and fenders. For partial wraps, 5 yards is a great option since that covers one side of the vehicle.
Chevrolet redesigned the second-generation Silverado 1500 to feature a new front frame design, rack-and-pinion steering, and improved fuel economy. Unlike the first generation, which was only available in three trim levels, the second generation had five trims, including the base WT trim and the higher-level LS version. The LS trim added full-power accessories, cruise control, and keyless entry. The crew cab had the option of an extra fuel economy trim.
To fully wrap your second generation Chevrolet Silverado, you will need 15 yards of vinyl wraps as the vehicle and will still have some leftover. The vinyl wrap will give completely wrap your vehicle excluding the doors, trunks, hoods, roof, pillar post trim, bumpers, mirrors, rocker panels, and fenders. If you want to do a partial wrap, remember that one side of the vehicle is about 5 yards and plan accordingly.
Compared to its predecessors, the third-generation Chevy Silverado 1500 stood out in that it was quieter, smoother, and more power-efficient than previous generations. The new models featured a revised steering system that included electric assist for simplified tuning and refined suspensions that increased handling responsiveness. Chevrolet made just a few changes to the exterior and interior look of the third-generation model. New trucks had full-width bumpers and sculpted fenders, and the interior got softer seating, Chevrolet's MyLink touchscreen interface, OnStar, and a new octagonal center stack.
For the third generation Chevrolet Silverado, 15 yards of vinyl wraps will be needed to fully wrap it. Each side and the roof are about 5 yards and you will have enough leftover to cover the rest of your vehicle. To completely wrap your vehicle, you will have to wrap the doors, trunks, hoods, roof, pillar post trim, bumpers, mirrors, rocker panels, and fenders. The windows, lights, and tires won't be wrapped and you will have to follow instructions on how to cut the wrap. For a partial wrap, select what want to do and use a rough estimate since each side is about 5 yards long.
Chevrolet unveiled the fourth-generation Silverado 1500 Chevy truck in mid-December 2017. The redesigned model features a more sculpted exterior that spots curvy edges, swoopy lines, and headlights that arc inward and integrate into the front grille. Crew-cab models have been stretched to give rear passengers 3 inches more leg room, and internal storage has also been enhanced with 24-liter and 10-liter bins under the rear seats and in the rear seat backs respectively. The current generation Chevy would go through numerous upgrades to this very day. And we can't wait to see what the future goes for the Silverado.
Completely wrap your fourth generation Chevrolet Silverado by using 15 yards of vinyl wrap. You will easily be able to wrap the doors, trunks, hoods, roof, pillar post trim, bumpers, mirrors, rocker panels, and fenders and still have some vinyl to spare. Follow the instructions in the video to properly cut the vinyl wrap so it doesn't cover the windows, tires, and lights. If you only want to do a partial for your fourth gen Chevrolet Silverado, remember that five yards is more than enough to cover one side of the vehicle.
Great product. Delivery has quite a bit of issues that need to be worked out.
This was by far the easiest installation i have done. First time wrapping a hood and it took a few hours smoothing the air bubble out but i was very pleased with the out come.
Easy to work with, color match was on point.
