It would have to be considered wrapping because you're doing something very large and also because you're going over curves, bumps, seams, etc.

but - if you say that this requires more than some practice with regular decals, big or small, i will pass on it.
I would say it does require quite a bit of practice. I used to work at a sign shop, and even the staff who had been applying decals every day for months or even years still had not mastered wraps. They always had help from the more experienced people.

It's certainly a skill worth learning if you want to do it for a living, but otherwise I would say leave it to the pros and save yourself a lot of headache.
