jwallen543 1 Posted November 15, 2012 Ok i need some help. i have a company wanting to wrap the elevator to cover the old 70's look and color of it. It will be done with Brushed Aluminum and some printed vinyl. The total job is 242 sq ft and wil take about 8 hours to install has some rails that will not come off that i will have to hand cut around. It is about 50 sq ft of printed and the rest 192 sq ft of brushed aluminum. What would you price this job at? thanks for your input. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vinylmotivations 143 Posted November 16, 2012 Really depends on your cost of product as well as time installing and overhead.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bayshorecreations 30 Posted November 19, 2012 I have to agree, I would be at around $200-$2500 A new elevator would cost them $20-$30k Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markk077 21 Posted November 19, 2012 You're on your own on this one, pal, and don't call me in an emergency. Kidding, but this is a special one. I believe you have to go strictly "Cost-Plus", because of all the unknowns. It's scary to a customer and protects you, but limits are also set to protect the customer. This is definitely a contract job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markk077 21 Posted November 19, 2012 I do wish you well, and it sounds like a good project for you, and the customer, to win from. Both of you play cards fairly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Compnerd88 9 Posted November 20, 2012 Cost x 2 + $2.75 a square foot to install. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jwallen543 1 Posted November 24, 2012 They had me do a few signs for the out side on each floor and total came out to $3025. They were ok with it and we are setting up dates to do the other three. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xpaperman 719 Posted November 27, 2012 Would love to see some pics of this project Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markk077 21 Posted December 2, 2012 Yes, when you have time, some photos. A wrap is a big deal, even on a square, flat surface. I'm going to pay for training before I do my first vehicle wrap, all though I've done enough vehicle letterings. I understand that wrap vinyl is more "forgiving"?

brtw 0 Posted August 17, 2015 I realize this is ancient, but any chance of the OP being around yet? Pics would be cool for this one... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted August 18, 2015 Doubtful. However, this video might keep you amused in the meantime (elevator outfitted with video screens, and we get to see the result on the passengers who are pranked) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
