every wrapped car i have seen in person you can clearly tell was wrapped. I'd personally opt for paint, but thats just me.

Looks Great!

I recently saw an SL65 AMG vinyl wrapped in a Pearl White color...had a sheen look to it....Was incredible.

Zerafian · 07-21-2011, 01:24 PM

eh...use the money on a nice kit and just get a 3m clear bra on it if you want to protect your paint.

b1adesofcha0s · 07-21-2011, 01:29 PM

Kit + clear bra = way more expensive

Someone with a nismo in LA was getting his car wrapped in matte gray, I don't know if he ever posted pictures..

I like it, but its to close to flat black and probably will not look as good if it is ever put next to a flat black car. Wraps like that are pretty expensive for a giant sticker.

whats the price of wrapping a car? i dont think i would do it on anything i wanted to have look "high-end". while it can look great in pictures and from a distance, dont think for a second that it will look any better than a crappy paint job up close where you can see all the nasty edges!

b1adesofcha0s · 07-21-2011, 06:12 PM

I think it's around $2-3k for a full car. A full paint job would cost anywhere from 2 to 4 times as much.

Zerafian · 07-21-2011, 08:06 PM

Iv heard it done for around a grand...not sure how pretty it looks though heh.

cost of wrap enough for 1 1/2 car is 500$, over here labour ranges from 200$ to 1000$, I paid for mine 400$.

Vinyl does not act as a clear bra. I install both and can tell you that a rock will g oright through vinyl. It will stop sand and other small praticles but not rocks. Paint protection film is much more durable and is designed to stop rocks. Vinyl is cosmetic.

We have a satin finish film by Xpel and another by Prestige called Satin Guard that will make the paint look matte. It will also protect the factory paint from rock damage... but it will not change the color you already have.

Cost for wrapping vehicle in the states to do it right will run you around $3500-4500 depending on the vehicle. Some are harder than others and require more material/labor so the price can fluctuate.
