Vinyl is a type of plastic and UV breaks down plastic polymers.
So here's my wrap.

In 5 years if I'm board of it I can remove it and get another or go back to the original black. And be at the same or under the cost of paint. With paint I would be out a lot more money today and would be stuck with it for the life of the car.

Also every dipped car I have seen has never looked as good as a wrap or paint job. I'm sure it could be done well, I just haven't seen it yet.
