How does a vinyl wrap compare to paint in cost?
How well does the vinyl hold up?


Anyway: my boring video contribution

Yeah, I have the same questions. I would guess it's cheaper, but...well...cheaper. But maybe a quick way to do a color change? I wish it were in English...

Typical wrap runs between $4k and $5k. A regular paint job is cheaper, but an intricate job with multi-colors and patterns is cheaper in a wrap due to labor.

Interesting...I would have guessed about half of that. Thanks.
