wrapping a car has it's place at times.
after I closed up the restoration shop and then opened our race shop I did wrap cars for a few years for the people that raced.
if you wrap over any imperfection you will see it through the wrap.
a few problems with wraps is they are not a forever product to leave on a car. If you leave it on a car for to long it's will become total hell to remove.
There is also the fact that if the car gets damaged and you need to wrap a panel or more it may not match the original wrap in the car.
this happened to me on a few jobs. the same manufacture of the wrap and the same color number but from a different dye lot. the worse one was a BMW we did that the customer damaged the front end and the color was miles off after I re wrapped the nose. so far off I had to replace the wrap on the back half of the car also.

to wrap the inner panels of a car is not the best idea. it's best to just paint them.

using a primer with out a top coat ( paint ) over it is not a good idea. primers are not designed to hold out moisture so it will rust under the primer unless you paint a top coat over it.
