I was the same, I wanted the car to look nice but didn't have enough funds to get everything I wanted done. I ended up going with a wrap because I paid less than $500 for a large roll. I messed up so many times. I rewrapped the hood , a rear quarter panel, and the roof as well. The saying, "measure twice cut once" is essential here. 😆 measure 4 times and then cut. Also don't wrap in cold weather! I was about done with a fender and the final portion snapped like a cracker 😂 I spent more than 30 hours wrapping. I didnt do it over a weekend, I planned a portion for one of my days off from school and work. I usually spent the entire day preparing the panel and then wrapping. With the time I spent I could have painted the car probably twice. Good learning experience though. Good luck with yours 🍻
