No the first wrap was peeling due to bad installer. This one is nice. I just think a wrap is easier to me. allows me to change it if needed for a lot less then paint.

Agreed on the easier part I use to paint and did lots of cars and planed on doing my current one when I first got it, but now I have been really contemplating just wrapping it. Do something some what crazy and if I end up not liking it. I can just peal it off and do a different one No harm doing it that way

I agree the wrap is nice cause you can remove it easily and change if you want. I just wouldnt like my jambs and engine bay being the original color. Little things like that bother me lol.

Bay is kinda hard but lucky mine is white so it matches about anything and we are wrapping my jambs

Cost between 1200-2500 depends on color and size of car and the shop. Takes about 2-5days.

Speaking of wraps...

Had it for 1.5 years, through 1 winter and 2 summer. Kinda nice not having to worry about waxing and what not.
