Should I partially or fully wrap my hatchback?

Vinyl wraps that cover all of the external bodywork of a car, and sometimes even the bumpers, are called full wraps.  Partial wraps just cover the most prominent, flat surfaces of a vehicle, such as the hood, doors, trunk, and back windscreen.

A full hatchback wrap is significantly more expensive than a partial hatchback wrap because it requires more vinyl material. If you are on a tight budget and are looking for the biggest bang for your buck, then a partial wrap is a great option. A well-designed partial wrap can still make a huge impact.
