Paint job/Vinyl

KratikosG37 · 05-25-2015, 05:50 AM

My wrap was 1/3 of the cost compared to a paint job and I had 0 issues. My suggestion is bring it to a good shop that back their work. Yes peeling will happen, but if it's done right shouldn't have issues. No fading up to 10 years if you don't DD it will last much longer.

Story time: While I was eating at a restaurant few cats living down the alley decided to ruin my roof/hood. The repair was $3000 to repaint wrap didn't even cost $2500 and if you did it yourself $800 or less.

People ask me all the time where I got my car painted, and how I like the primer. lol

You want a weekend warrior face lift wrap.

You want a DD in hard conditions paint(there's not telling how long that paint will last un damaged).

Look into wrapcon that is happening next week, if there's a shop in your area going. Than that's where you should start looking for professional assistants.

Sounds great. Yeah so far all i've heard and read about wrap is good news. Some even said that the vinyl is more durable than the clear coat of actual paint. Thanks for the advice. I'll look into it
