To Wrap or Paint?

j par said

I looked into it a little bit as well and they are going to charge more than $1, 000 likely to wrap your entire car. Especially with some kind of custom graphic wrap.
I thought it would have been my cheap way out of the paint job as well but not so much...

Depends on what you consider cheap, and the quality of the finished product. Good quality paint is expensive. The paint alone on my car was about $1,000, and that was with serious shopping. That did not include primer, sandpaper ect. If you do a primer blacked out car, it can be done fairly reasonable with paint. If you want something with color, custom graphics, then wrap is a lot less. Now for a street driver, I prefer paint, but would not blame anyone for going with wrap. I have seen some of the better wrap jobs, and they look great. If I were to do another race car, it would be wrapped.
