I love how you make these videos that other content creators don't in regards to pricing etc. This is a really difficult part of anyone wishing to start their own business/side hustle. Not knowing prices or how to price a job. You're a badass CK.
Man! This is such a great and knowledgeable and informative video. Thank you for doing this videos for people like me and my friend who’s leaning forward to this industry. Like you said we are very lucky to have videos to watch and not just figure it out ourselves! Please continue making videos. God bless you and more blessings to come! Congratulations to your new shop! P.S we are on the process of wrapping my friend’s camaro using avery’s satin flip psychedelic and we already spent more than 24hrs doin it and we still need to wrap the front panel, front bumper and roof but so far we loving it. Not perfect when it comes to cutting but we getting there! It’s our first time.
I feel like you read my mind. Thank you for being generous with your experience and wisdom. You get that sharing still leaves many people who would never attempt. Others think there gonna loose customers and thats not the case
I just want to thank you for your videos and tutorials. I haven’t wrapped in years and had a job this morning to wrap a roof on a Mercedes C class and because of your explanations and videos I had a great time doing it. thank you! 🙏🙏💯
Hi Christian! Greetings from Germany I started wrapping about this time last year with your videos to guide me. I used to dismantle parts of my car and wrap them in my kitchen. I wasted so much material trying to learn on my friends cars. I was so ashamed when first customers called me, saying that the wrap is coming of. Now things are good. I want to thank you for making these videos (the way you make them). They were always there whenever I was in doubt .
Man I needed this. I just started wrapping an e46 m3 in hexis purple chrome. That material is seriously hard to work with, but that's what the customer wanted.
Hell yeah ! Quality RUclips video(s). None of that wasting hours and days on pointless videos. These are the kind of videos this mega platform should be used for. Good job, keep it up.
Thanks for sharing this, great video! I give a lower price when it's ok to cut the vinyl and expose a thin line of the background paint where a recess is on commercial vehicles etc. Which I know is not as critical as the jobs you do.
I do mechanic work, everything from passenger vehicles to mining equipment. When I give an estimate I do a high-low, so a minimum and maximum of total cost for the work done. One thing I do that most don't is a variable rate dependent on the income of the client. Some people can't afford much but need a running vehicle. I don't make as much on the lower end jobs but I really enjoy helping people. I do not warranty part failure but if it's a failure because of something I did it's repaired for free.
“Variable rate dependent on the income of the client?” I’m assuming you mean you give people a break if they are in a tight spot. Otherwise, that statement sounds really problematic for me as a customer. Also, that brings into question your remark about the high-low estimate. That could be appreciated if you haven’t diagnosed it yet, but if you have, it could come across as letting a customer pay for your uncertainty.
Hey man love your videos! Keep up the good work. Can you try doing a 2017+ honda CRV? The tail lights are super aggressive to wrap and I was interested in trying it myself. Thanks!
Hey Chris, thanks for sharing your invaluable information. Not many people out there being as transparent as you are - so thank you! Question, I see you're in Ottawa, and I'm going to be picking up a brand new ride from the dealership soon, and want to drive it straight into a wrap shop (to avoid any finish damage) - BUT, I live in Toronto. Could you recommend any wrappers as honest as you are in the GTA? Any insight is appreciated! Thanks :)
Hey Christian, what's the best way to reach out to you directly? I assume you work out of the shop in Vaughan? I'm exploring a fairly unique custom project idea, and would love to discuss what are realistic possibilities. I can come to the shop (and socially distance) if that is easiest too. Look forward to your response. Thanks
When I need ANSWERS, I listen to HIM! Sir, can you tell me how to put a PHOTO of my Granddaughter on my VViVid MATTE BLACK Warp, we did my Outboard Motor Warp, and now I would like to put her PHOTO on both side of the Cowl! Or is there a process that can copy her Picture into another piece of Vinyl? Or, put her picture on the matte Black Cowl, the cover it with 3M Clear ? Any help is like really appreciated! THANKS
You're the best as you said stay home and wrap that's all I've been doing I'm in Australia and I have to be locked in for safety for this Corona anyway.. the point is all I do is wrap wrap and wrap quite enjoy it I'm having difficulties with gold Chrome at the moment from China.. I don't think it's vinyl wrap lol it won't curve it won't do anything you want it to do it's a test that's why I purchased it for next to nothing you pay for what you get in wrapping definitely 90% of the times I would say you're the teacher I'm not I'm guessing this video help me a lot so I think you if you want to see my WRAP City HQ on Instagram I suppose you can have a look nothing spectacular because I'm starting your the man that taught me a lot you have multiple videos but this video is a great video because it's one-on-one with the customer and reality is it's just not all wrap it's good customer service to if you talk professional look professional you wrap professional you'll get the job thanks Chris keep up the videos love your work
I do screen enclosures my minimum is 175 the customer is always understanding about it over the phone but when i get there to do 2 screen and im done before they can finish the have you live here long question i asked when i started they are like wtf but sometimes the call is a door kit replace some metal and a small screen witch is way longer so the minimum is good just wish the customer could see the jobs like that
I've never wrapped anything. I drive a FedEx truck lol. BUT after binge watching half of these videos I now find myself looking at cars in traffic thinking to myself "Yeah, I could wrap that. I'd use an inlay there and there... a little heat and boom! Done" hahahahahaha as long as I never try, I'll never fail. (EDIT: This is because you make it look SO EASY)
Have you ever had any issues wrapping over parking sensors? Thanks for all of your content. I've used my 'stay at home' time to wrap my entire subaru thanks to your winsdom, but the parking sensors in my rear bumper think there's something behind it when there's not. The only thing I can think of is that I wrapped over the parking sensors. Do I need to wrap them separately? Or is there no way to wrap them and not have this problem. Thanks.
Hi Chris, I am an inventor of whatever I have issues with and I'll just make something up most of the time it works, I made a heat gun holster, and I wanted to send it to you, how can I send that to you?
@@CKWraps yeah ..pricing is like shooting from the hip in the Installer community. I make most of my money off fleet anyways. I do wrap quite a bit but I don't find it as profitable. IMO
Doing color changes is done partially for money and partially for the sheer pleasure of it. It isn't for everyone. If you want to just make money then there are many other options available. But if you strive for quality, excellence and meticulous dedication then color changes might be your thing
I wouldn’t compare yourself to a car dealership dude. Car dealerships are all crooks. I doubt you are taking advantage of people like they do. You seem pretty transparent and honest. Just don’t think that’s the image you want in your customer’s heads.

Always Super helpful with all your videos!! I love this content especially because you break down each variable on how much to charge for a wrap.

The detail you provide is amazing! Thank you so much for these awesome videos!👍
awesome instructional speech, now i feel like trying to go and wrap something on my car, you make it sound so easy, funny and cool to do wraps
This is a great video for you and for your customers to watch to kinda learn both sides of what’s going on. 💯🎯

David Whitten that’s also a way for people to get more work for you and also return to you in the future...props my dude.
David Whitten Min/max is the way to go. All my favorite suppliers/services do that. 👍

Im in the UK. I got quoted £2500 for a wrap on my BMW F30 in the new Inozetek Mamba Green. I think that works out at just over $3000 in the US.
I love ur channel ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Mazda 3 Hatch - Roof Wrap Gloss Black -> what cost should I be looking at and what’s the difficulty at for that car? No shark fin. In the GTA
Did that on my 13 Mz3 hatch with sunroof. Did it myself, spent $80 on material

how do you deal with projects that took you longer than estimated time like you needed the vehicle for another day or two how will you deal with it?
So where do you buy wrap from?
Premium is rt. I am 42 with >25yrs experience. I know what happens 10yrs after install. 20yrs on some installs. My work lasts
Avery gloss black easy film to work with in the world
I’m wrap bmw 520D after two weeks front bumper some place remove what the reason
You didn't prep right and some dirt was left
I have a 2019 GMC Savana Cargo Van. How much would it cost to wrap it? Thank you

150$ per hour includes preparation time too? Or just wrapping time?
Austere Graunt he explained that in the beginning

where are guys located?
Hi Chris, I am an inventor of whatever I have issues with and I'll just make something up most of the time it works, I made a heat gun holster, and I wanted to send it to you, how can I send that to you?
Hi Marvin, I've never tried a heat gun holster before. If you'd like to reach out to us you can email nav@ckwraps.com and he'll look after you.
What about mobile independent installers like me that install for other shops but don't supply material. What should hourly rate be?
You get to make up whatever hourly you believe you deserve for the quality and type of work you do
@@CKWraps yeah ..pricing is like shooting from the hip in the Installer community. I make most of my money off fleet anyways. I do wrap quite a bit but I don't find it as profitable. IMO

Is that $150 U.S. or Canadian?
CAD but it's relative to where you live
Pro

loved everything except the promotion of the phoney croney CK :(
So I’m gonna pay you more but you never went to school to wrap. Wraping takes no skills
Skill-less like post man
This fool definitely on the high side you can get a full wrap for 2000$ with material in Southern California dont know where he at and dont care lol....
Toronto, Canada, which is more expensive than Southern Cali!
He is talking about running a business, not paying illegals under the table.
You called him a fool for what reason?
@RRY PHILL hes from socal, some people use fool like people use dude
