About Wraps
I can't speak for this (really cool) bus, but I can tell you a little about wraps.
We are actually sign makes first, transistioning into framing. So finally!! a question I am qualified to answer!!
First I would suggest doing your research and finding an experienced, trained company that uses QUALITY materials. We like Oracal, I feel they are the best on the market. ALWAYS look at wrap examples up close. Some companies do what I call "frankin-wraps" with lots of seams and splices. I am very pickey. On a van we did there would be one splice. Some companies do it differently. It's harder (and usually a little more expensive) to do less splices, but to me it LOOKS so much better.
The process should be fairly painless. What we do is have the customer bringus the vehicle, take photos, talk to them, get an idea on design, take a deposit and get to work. I usually prefer to do most of the designing, but love it when the customer brings good quality art that they want to incorporate.
The design process can take anywhere from a week to a month. It just depends on what it takes to get everything just right. Then the appointment is set and the vehicle is brought in. Depending on the size of the job, we like to have them for 1-3 days.
A quick "ballpark" price on a VAN (not a bus like this) would be about $2000 - $4000 + tax.
I hope that helps you! I am in LOVE with wraps and I can tell you from experience that they get ALOT of attention. It does take a while to get use to people staring at you everwhere you go!
Happy framing!
