Cost to apply wraps in NJ

Well I recall reading that Slate would be able to source any wrap color you desire from their New Wrap Center in Louisville KY.

This leads to more questions. With pre-cut wraps, how will they handle extra material? If you make a mistake, will the wrap center sell you just the cut you need?

Great question. I never thoght of that.

I asked Slate to offer 12” wide rolls for people with crafting vinyl cutting machines the ability to create their own graphics that will adhere as well as theirs.
When I searched for the Vinyl that has the correct properties there was a limited number of colors available.

Perks of getting an early delivery window: I'm sure some Slate fanboys on this site will happily travel to you and do free work on your truck, just for the chance to see it and work on it.

Oh sure.

From the FAQ.

How much are wraps? What about installation?

Our Classic Wraps are available in dozens of colors and are priced just under $500. Professional installation is targeted at under $500, too, so you can get a full color wrap installed for under $1,000.

Can I use a third-party wrap or do I have to get my wrap from Slate?

Our wrap is engineered specifically for Slate's body panels. The adhesive is proprietary, designed to bond correctly with our unique panel material. Standard wraps won't adhere the same way, which means lifting, bubbling, or peeling down the road. We want your Slate to look as good as you imagined it, which is why our wraps start as low as $500 with a targeted professional install cost of $500 or less.

I assumed $500 for the wrap, $500 to have it installed by RepairPal, or at the factory before i take delivery. Voila! $1,000. But I'm sensing I assume too much.

Totally agree 500 seems way to low.

I think $500 install for the wrap will only happen if it’s done before delivery by their wrap people. They probably have applied enough wraps by now they have a step by step process that simplifies and speeds up the wrap application.
Repair pal or independent shops will not have that advantage of already having applied a bunch of wraps specific to the Slate. So I believe their costs will definately be higher than $500
