Wrapping an entire car is not a do it yourself project :-) Just my opinion. Good luck!

My nephew is a professional car wrap guy and I've watched him in action. There is no way I'd do it myself. 2 of the main necessary tools required are not things I want to be using anywhere near my car. A razor blade, and a torch.

Second, unless you go crazy with costs, the best paint color to wrap is black. Otherwise where ever you stop the wrap you see the old paint color. Imagine wrapping a red car with blue wrap, or vice versa. Open the doors and see red door jams. I've considered having him wrap my white Z for years but always balk because I don't want green wrap / white paint / black interior. Wrapping black isn't so bad since it's wrap color then black paint then black interior.

Once my car is back from the shop I'm now considering having him wrap my pearl white paint with Avery pearl white gloss wrap. Will be like getting clear bra all over the car. Still debating it.
