I'm planning to wrap my whole car, but if it's cheaper to by alot of already sized vinyl than a whole brand new roll than I'll do that. Because I'm on a budget.

45 x standard roll width which is 5 feet. I vinyl for a living so I got it through my vendor for considerably less than list price. But a good consumer cost would be around $650 plus or minus for the materials.

Miiker23@ you should look into a shop doing it in the end might be cheaper then you trying to do it with cost, time, and material and of course trial and error unless you have done this before. You can find people that have a mobile shop might be able to do the whole car for less then a couple hundred.
