Nice wrap and video! I'd also mention that wraps are much quicker and cheaper than paint jobs. Plus, unlike a paint job, it's easy to remove your custom look (which may not appeal to all buyers) when you want to sell your car.

It doesn’t last the life of the car, it depends how long it’s exposed to the environment specially the sun. The roof lasts the least about 2 years, the rest of the car about 3-4 years. You have to remove it and re wrap it afterwards.

I worked with vinyl in a sign shop for ten years. Vinyl doesn't last long. The best premium vinyl is only good for eight years. The color will fade much quicker than paint plus it will shrink. And you can't retouch it like paint. It's a very temporary material. There are plenty of cons to it.

Pros: Never replaces the factory color. Cons: Costs just as much as a professional paint job if you get the car wrapped by a really reputable shop, won't hold up to rocks and daily road use like paint would, Can't be touched up at all. Summary: Spend some time thinking about what color you want and get it professionally painted. It only cost me just over 700 to get the ENTIRE side of my car resprayed silver (it was a used car and i wanted to clean up the look of it) Granted that was without having to sand down and re spray but still not too bad. I've heard these wraps go for upwards of 3500.... I can get my ENTIRE car painted a totally new color for around 2500-3000. Maybe cheaper if i use our family friend who works in a body shop. I would go with a proper paint route but for things like motorcycles, wraps are really neat and if its on a car that is only driven for shows and meets i would say maybe go for the wrap route because it wont see daily use and there are colors you can get with a wrap that's not really possible with paint. Like the chrome gold, silver, green, purple, or even like street speeds rainbow tye dye wrap he did on his Vette. At the end of the day it is your choice. For me? For my motorcycle i'd consider wrapping it as i take VERY VERY good care of it and it doesn't really see any severe weather elements. And only gets around 2000 miles a year. For my car? I'd go professional paint job. That's just my opinion though. Everyone can do what they want to their own stuff. They do own it.

Familys been working at a very reputable shop for 30 years, doesnt recommend wrapping a car, cause it can look like shit but also says, when repainting a car its hard to perfectly match some colors that are on cars like 3 stage silver, Getting it painted is very nice but it never quite looks the same as factory if u have very good eyes.

Bike Life Motovlogs- Thats because most painters are idiots that get hooked on "brand" bait. They think if it is not fancy Diamonte paint and expensive Sata guns spraying it then it wll be a shitty paint job. I have painted for years and most people just want their car painted to make it look good at an affordable price and with skill, prep and application I have done lots of paint jobs on ordinary cars that look every bit as good as alot of the "fancy" paint jobs available. Most of those people paid me $500 total. I bought the paint, the clear, masking and prep stuff and the rest went in my pocket for labor. So thats how much an awesome paint job costs- $500. Unless you want to listen to a fancy shop guy that will dazzle you with some fancy spray gun with a digital meter on it.

you are faaaaaar from good. i can unwrap a hood or a door 1 hour and re wrap it in 30 minutes. you will be in and out in less than 2 hours. good luck with that when it comes to paint. The wrap also protects your paint. No need to sand or polish the paint. I had damage on my wrapped doors because people in parking lot swing out their doors on mine and when i pulled off the wrap there was not a single light scratch on the paint. Tell you better. I hit someone from behind and his exhaust cut a hole in my bumper(!!!) yet when i pulled off the wrap where it was all torn the paint was perfectly fine under! Of course, I changed my bumper because of the big hole but still. The wrap's protection was pretty impressive.

The car in this video is in Pennsylvania where the temperature fluctuates almost monthly! Chrome paint is actually less durable than a wrap and equally if not more expensive. It is also safer for the car in the long run, no worries of harming the factory finish or paint over spray in inappropriate places.

Nick Smith you may be right but from experience I prefer paint. imo its easier to repair paint than vinyl. if you get a tear in vinyl you need to replace the entire segment of the wrap for example say a rock hits the hood. if it's painted it could be filled in and smoothed to match the rest my car is wrapped but still id rather paint it. If vinyl is done right it looks good but left on for to long it will peel paint when you remove it maybe not as much where this car is but I'm in california and the sun does get warm enough to bake it to the paint. May not be the case with every car but for my Subaru it took pretty good chunks all the way to the primer. like I said it may not be every car but those with thin or older paint it's likely. I'm not hating on wraps but this guy is dumb, he is salesman and a promoter simply cause this is his business. I would never paint or wrap my car chrome imo it's tacky and trashy looking.

ALL vinyl graphics will fail if left outside 24/7/365. PERIOD. The sun bakes it all day long and it ever so slightly expands. And the cool/cold nights contract it. Wrap vinyl is a high energy surface & it has to be for the job. This is why it's important to: 1) KEEP IT CLEAN and protected. (Wax or after care products are good. I'm not sure about ceramic coatings or the F11 type products. I have yet to test them. But I plan on it when I get freed up to re-wrap my SUV which is in progress. But business comes before my pleasure so... you know, priorities.) 2) Garage it and it will ALWAYS last YEARS longer. I've had wrapped vehicles last 5+ years and are still going strong because they are well maintained. Others are history in 2 years due to UV exposure and lack of maintenance. It ALL depends on the owner. 3) If you can't garage it, at least rotate the direction it's parked for long periods of time. The southern exposure is the toughest on a vehicle. Even though paint isn't a high energy surface, ALL of the care & maintenance applies to paint as well. I can always tell which side of a vehicle is the constant south facing side when parked. Paint will oxidize on the side which is habitually facing south. Vinyls will become brittle and begin to crack. If you have graphics that are starting to crack, it's time to remove the graphic!!! REALLY! It WILL damage the clear coat and eventually the paint if left on too long. Look at any surface that faces upward for cracking as that's where it will begin. Vinyl Removal: Again it depends on the care and maintenance. I just removed a wrap from four years ago and the finish under the graphic looked as good as the day we wrapped it. The surrounding paint however, was a different story, the clear coat was a bit dull. Well maintained graphics will remove easily. Poor maintenance results in difficult removal and all too often I've witnessed razor blade scrapes and gouges in the paint because it was done improperly. (Please, do yourself a favor and have a professional to do it!) And last, but not least. I stopped wrapping hoods unless the owner agrees to remove it within two years, OR it's going on a working fleet vehicle. Why? Because the vinyl gets baked from the top & the bottom CONSTANTLY! How do I know? Because I test this stuff on MY vehicles before I attempt to do so on a vehicle which belongs to anyone else... Just being honest. With all that being said. The wrap graphics industry has evolved a LOT since the materials where first introduced around 1997. And they continue to improve year after year. Color selections and finish options have really exploded in the last 3 to 5 years. Wrapping may not be for everyone, but it does work well on a vehicle that doesn't need body work, but the paint is fading or the color isn't what you want. And a vehicle can be customized and back in your hands pretty quickly. If you have any questions, call Lance @ 719-574-5938.

I'm thinking about possibly wrapping a car I haven't yet purchased. I'm looking for a site that's not going to give a tutorial on DIY, but a Concise, slow and understandable talk about what to expect in a wrap, what's normal VS. what's a Hack job, how it does in high heat, full sun, cold or wet environments. Cost as it pertains to a 'Quality' shop doing just an average wrap, nothing overly fancy (I don't mind paying a more for the job if I'm getting my monies worth, too many businesses wants premium pay without delivering premium work). What needs to be done as far as bodywork is concerned, not necessarily how the body work looks but what is needed for a successful wrap, Etc.,Etc..

Cost is a con for a number of reasons: 1. The majority of people don’t have $2-5k lying around for them to blow on a wrap (most people’s cars cost that much) 2. It’s not going to save you money on trade in, like at all.. (salesman 10 yrs) 3. Painting your car is actually cheaper & will last longer 4. It’s a rip off really. Cost of vinyl is relatively inexpensive. You can wrap a whole pickup truck or suv w/ 3m for under 500 if you know how to do it yourself. And 2-300 for cars 5. Most of your purchase goes towards labor. That’s what you’re paying for...labor. So if you think about it, you could wrap it yourself for 500 or less, or pay to not have to deal with the headache of breaking down the vehicle, being extremely meticulous when laying vinyl wrap, and most likely will need two, if not 3 people to do the job. So 2500$ wrap minus 500 materials leaves 2000k that needs to be broken up between the 2-3 guys working on the car plus the shop. That’s not that much money for them when you think about it. That’s why they charge so much *my opinion...wrap it yourself

He is correct, IDK who would paint your car for under 10k. Like he said you get what you pay for. I'd much rather save my DuPont paint any day. Painted tons of cars and wrapped tons. Paradigm shift made the wrap a success. But hey if you'd rather spend the 10k vs the 5k I'd charge you go ahead. Nice video.

Great awesome looking chrome wrap and great video as well!!! The only thing that I have a concern about is the prices that you mentioned that can cost you for a wrap, which you said anywhere from $2000.00 up to $6000.00 in some possible case's!!! Now if you stop and think for those possible prices you can do a complete color change paint job don't you think??? But then again like you said you get what you pay for!!! I guess you just have to weight and measure your options and your money to make a final decision as to which way you want to go!!! As far as the life span of the wrap well that's something to think about also!!! Once again great video!!! 👍👍👍

A clear bra has a better cost/value on protection if you're considering to trade-in or lease. Nearly invisible if done by a professional and is only applied to the areas of a vehicle that suffer the most. Micro swirls in the paint are hardly gonna be considered when bringing the vehicle to a deal for a trade/lease, and if you're really trying to hide them, nothing some polish couldn't hide during the paperwork. All in All a Clear bra would be a better deal if you were looking to protect without having or wanting to go with a full wrap custom or not.
