A lot of our customers ask us how much vinyl they should buy to wrap their Honda Accord. In the past, we could not provide the best answer which is why we have 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.
Much like its brother the Civic, the larger Accord has also spawned a total of ten generations, with the original arriving on the scene back in 1976. It initially came out as a three-door hatchback before the four-door sedan was introduced in 1979. Power came from a 1.6-liter with a respectable 68-hp output sent to the wheels via a five-speed manual. The sedan arrived with a beefier 1.8-liter and was also equipped with power steering.
For the first generation Honda Accord, 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.
The first Japanese car assembled in the United States, the second-generation Accord was larger than its predecessor and had a substantially different look with boxy styling. It gained an optional four-speed automatic gearbox in 1983 and got its engine bumped in displacement from 1751cc to 1830cc to unlock 86 hp. More power was added in 1985 with the arrival of the Accord SEi and its fuel-injected engine pumping out 101 hp.
To fully wrap your second generation Honda Accord, 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 5.3 yards and plan accordingly.
The Accord received an increased footprint for its third iteration, which came along with a third body style in the form of a sleek coupe. It was mechanically superior to its predecessor, featuring a Honda-first double-wishbone suspension at both axles as well as a more aerodynamically friendly body. Honda increased the engine's size furthermore, to a 2.0-liter unit with 98 hp on tap when carbureted or an optional 110 hp with fuel injection. It also featured pop-out headlights!
For the third generation Honda Accord, 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.
The fourth-gen Accord was enlarged once more, fully qualifying for the midsize sedan status. Honda boosted the car's practicality with the addition of a wagon that replaced the hatchback. A newly developed 2.2-liter engine was rated at a healthy 130 hp for the flagship EX model. There was even a sport mode for the four-speed automatic transmission, allowing the driver to choose gears manually. However the pop-out headlights id not make a return.
Completely wrap your fourth-generation Honda Accord by using 16 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 want to do a partial, use one side of the vehicle as a reference.
The fifth-gen Accord saw the addition of VTEC for the 2.2-liter engine and the sedan's first V6, a 2.7-liter unit making 170 hp and 165 lb-ft (224 Nm). The versions equipped with the bigger engine had some design tweaks at the front to distinguish them from the four-pot models. Honda stretched the wheelbase for extra rear legroom and proposed a sportier design.
The fifth generation Honda Accords was slighty wider than previous models and thus won't need as much vinyl wrap as a result. For a complete wrap, you will need 15 yards of vinyl wrap. That cover the doors, trunks, hoods, roof, pillar post trim, bumpers, mirrors, rocker panels, and fenders and you should still have some leftover. Make sure to not cover the windows, lights, or tires during installation. If you want to do a partial, use one side of the vehicle as a reference.
By the sixth-generation, the wagon body style was phased away, with only the coupe and sedan surviving. The two-door model was developed in North America and had a slightly shorter wheelbase than its four-door counterpart. Front airbags came as standard, with side airbags available at an additional cost. The base engine was a 2.3-liter with 135 hp, while an optional 3.0-liter V6 had 200 hp.
Just like the fifth generation, the sixth generation of Honda Accord's were built to be a bit shorter than the previous iterations. That is why you will need 15 yards of vinyl wrap to completely wrap your vehicle. That includes the doors, trunks, hoods, roof, pillar post trim, bumpers, mirrors, rocker panels, and fenders. Remember to not cover the windows, lights, and wheels when installing your vinyl wrap. If you want to do a partial, use one side of the vehicle as a reference.
For its seventh iteration, the Accord got more powerful engines across the range. Even the base four-cylinder unit now made 160 hp, while the 3.0-liter VTEC V6 pumped out 240 hp. Both got a little bit more power later in the life cycle when an electrified V6 was added with a combined output of 253 hp. The coupe allowed customers to order the V6 engine with a manual gearbox for the first time.
The seventh-gen Accord is much longer than its predecessor, that is why you will need 18 yards of vinyl wrap to completely wrap your vehicle. That includes the doors, trunks, hoods, roof, pillar post trim, bumpers, mirrors, rocker panels, and fenders. Remember to not cover the windows, lights, and wheels when installing your vinyl wrap. If you want to do a partial, use one side of the vehicle as a reference as each side is almost 6.8 yards long.
Creating a greater visual differentiation between the sedan and coupe, Honda increased the Accord's size yet again for the eighth generation. The V6 engine - now making 268 hp - was once again offered with a three-pedal setup. It was bumped to the full-size car class by EPA and spawned a hunchbacked Crosstour fastback for the 2010 model year for added practicality. The oddly shaped version was two inches wider than the sedan and added about 300 pounds (136 kilograms) of weight.
The eighth generation Honda Accord's were built to be longer than the previous iterations. That is why you will need 16 yards of vinyl wrap to completely wrap your vehicle. That includes the doors, trunks, hoods, roof, pillar post trim, bumpers, mirrors, rocker panels, and fenders. Remember to not cover the windows, lights, and wheels when installing your vinyl wrap. If you want to do a partial, use one side of the vehicle as a reference.
While it's not necessarily a fully-fledged next-generation car, the Accord Mk9 was more of a thorough refresh of its predecessor. The sedan gained a Sport variant with a standard six-speed manual and a little bit more power than the regular four-cylinder models, along with dual exhaust tips as well as bespoke wheels. Honda went back and forth with the hybrid version, which managed to get an EPA rating of 48 mpg thanks to its electrified four-cylinder engine.
The ninth-gen Accord is slighly longer than its predecessor, that is why you will need 16 yards of vinyl wrap to completely wrap your vehicle.

If you want to do a partial, use one side of the vehicle as a reference.
For the current-generation Accord, the coupe has gone the way of the dodo together with the V6. The base 1.5-liter turbo engine is good for 192 hp while the larger 2.0-liter unit develops 252 hp, with a hybrid version also available with 212 hp. The electrified model does 48 mpg in the combined cycle. Even though it's larger than the model it replaced, the tenth-generation model has shaved off 110 to 176 pounds (50 to 80 kilograms) depending on trim by making greater use of aluminum and ultra-high-strength steel.
The 10th-generation Honda Accord's is built slightly bigger than the previous iteration. That is why you will need 16 yards of vinyl wrap to completely wrap your vehicle. That includes the doors, trunks, hoods, roof, pillar post trim, bumpers, mirrors, rocker panels, and fenders. Remember to not cover the windows, lights, and wheels when installing your vinyl wrap. If you want to do a partial, use one side of the vehicle as a reference.
This product helped me finish my auto customization project. I built a Jurassic Park car.
Spent 200 dollars on a 12ft sheet of vinyl. I ordered the same color and brand and series as before and a different color showed up. Rvinyl won't do anything about it so now I have a useless roll of vinyl and I’m out $200 I just wanted to exchange for what I need.
This was my first time wrapping anything and they made it so much better with all of there videos and customer support. The product is a lot stronger than I thought it was going to be which made it
