Pretty standard to have full wraps at $2500+ for most cars. If they have to take off body parts and wrap behind the panels, it is even more.

How hard can it really be? Wrap itself is about $600+ give and take..

Have you ever wrapped anything? Its not that easy, especially when working on the larger surfaces. Throw in folds, curves, convex and concave surfaces and you're in for a treat. I've done plenty of interior trim wraps on different cars but an exterior wrap isn't something I'd take on lightly.

There are plenty of youtube videos you can look at to see what's involved. I will take on almost anything, and am about to clear bra a 640 MSport front bumper, but I don't think I'd tackle wrapping a whole car.

It isn't easy. You will make many mistakes and the whole swath of vinyl will be trashed. So you material costs will probably be a couple thousand, not to mention the DAYS it will take you to complete the job. Surely your time is worth something as well. If it was my time, it would cost me >10K to wrap my car if I did it myself. And even then, it would look amateurish.
