Vinyl Wrap vs Paint Job
ok..........So, lets hear your opinion, yes you CSS.net about
Vinyl Wrapping
VS
A New Paint Job
Lets say for example, I wanted to go....mmmmmm SUMMIT WHITE!!!
Could a vinyl wrap job EVER be as good as a professional paint job???
If I were to put a real summit white SS/TC next to a SS/TC that was wrapped in summit white, from the outside could you tell that it was different?
Would it not look as nice? Would the quality be not as good as paint..........
and how long will it last?
I ask this because it has been brought to my attention that a vinyl wrap job could be done in place of a paint job for cheaper......
NOW.......call me old fashioned but I would sleep easier at night with a good old Summit White paint job............
But..........im not counting a wrap job out yet
LETS HEAR YOURS

wrap would last about 7 years. but if you get a rock chip your gonna have to replace that whole panel.
it really depends on budget. if you can swing a paint job then get that done

I attempted to get to get my car wrapped a couple years ago, I called all around DFW to places that apply complete vinyl wraps and the best price I got was 3200. Only reason to get a wrap is to keep the factory color without ruining it.

And a vinyl wrapped car sittin next to a quality 3 stage paint job the paint job willl look a whole hell of a lot better in shine and feel. And if u do get a paint job make sure you find a good place thatll do the door jambs, under trunk and under hood, they probly wnt do the engine bay tho lol unless u want to pay alot.
I wud get a vinyl wrap jus so you have the factory paint in the future still unless u get a legit spray
