Frequently Asked Tailgate Wrap Questions

If you're interested in purchasing tailgate wraps for your vehicle, you may have a few questions. Take a moment to review some of the top answers to the most frequently asked tailgate wrap questions.

How Long Does It Take to Wrap Your Tailgate?

When you go to a professional shop for your wrapping needs, you can expect your vehicle to be out of commission for one to four days. You can get your truck back on the road much faster by going the DIY route. If you apply our films yourself, you can expect the process to take one to four hours. You can make the installation process even faster and easier by having a friend on hand to help.

Can You Place Tailgate Wraps on Aftermarket Paint?

You can only safely apply tailgate wraps to factory-finished paint. Since companies don't cure aftermarket-finished paint to the same level as factory paint jobs, you shouldn't apply tailgate wraps to them.

How Long Do Tailgate Wraps Last?

Usually, you can expect your tailgate wrap to last five to seven years. However, you should always check the manufacturer's specs to see when they recommend removing the wrap for clean removal.

What Size Tailgate Wrap Should You Choose?

When you select a tailgate wrap, measure your tailgate first and pick a wrap that fits its dimensions. Remember to factor in an overhang you'll trim after installation.

How Much Does It Cost to Wrap Your Tailgate?

When you choose a shop to wrap your vehicle, you can expect to pay around $150 per tailgate. With our DIY wrapping kits, we've found most of our customers usually only pay a third of what they'd pay in a shop.
