Full Vehicle Wrap-- Group Buy

This might be a stupid question, but i always thought you get the car painted matte black, since its basically a huge sticker does that mean you shouldn't do that

The vinyl is professional grade and is rated to last 6 years from what I was told. Their are lots of people who wrap their cars, from ferraris, to mercedes, etc.

The benefits of using a vinyl wrap as opposed to painting the car include a significant cost difference and also the fact that you can remove the wrap whenever you choose and go back to stock. I want to wrap mine becuase it is cheaper than painting, and when I sell the car later on, I can remove the wrap and have the fresh stock paint underneath.

The wrap will not peel. You can wash it like you would your normal paint. However, Do not use machine washes.

Never seen a full wrap in person, if my car is white and I get a black wrap. Would the insides of the doors, hood, trunk still be white showing?

Yes your door jams and trunk areas will show white in most applications. However you can have those areas wrapped too.
