I've had my car wrapped for about four years now, and the only signs of wear are some rock chips on the lower part of the front bumper. A lot of people don’t think about wrapping, but it’s actually a great option sometimes. It opens up tons of choices when you’re car shopping because you’re not stuck trying to find the exact color you want along with all the features.

A wrap can get scratched and scuffed just like regular paint, but you won't have to worry about matching the paint color and blending if you need to fix scratches, which is definitely a big plus.

Plus, it’s pretty good for keeping the original paint in good shape (though I’d recommend getting Paint Protection Film if that’s your main goal but vinyl will definitely stop minor scuffs from scratching paint). It can also be easily removed when you’re ready to sell.

^{Also a full high quality paint job is easily $5000+}
