  • Wrap vs. Paint, is now a common question every car enthusiast is faced with when choosing a new color. However, is wrapping really for you? Or are you better off with your factory finish? Here in this video, I'll discuss Everything A Beginner Needs to Know About Car Vinyl Wraps!
    *Note*: This video DOESN'T TEACH WRAPPING, rather it explains the "Concept of Vinyl Wraps" to someone who literally has no idea what a car wrap is and how it compares to paint.
    The Number one mistake I see beginners obsess over is the Finish!
    Whether it's Gloss, Satin, Matte, or Metallic, none of that matters if the material and brand isn't reputable! Even more so, if the application wasn't well done, than it'll just peel off anyway!
    Just like with buying cars, choosing a wrap color shouldn't be "Love at first sight". Considering how temporary Vinyl Wraps already are and also considering the few thousand you'll be spending on it, you'll definitely be disappointed if you got something that lasted way shorter than you expected!!
    So please research material, then source a local shop reputable enough to install it. If you're wrapping your own car for the first time ever, buy some spare material. Expect to redo some pieces and expect your wrap to not be perfect the first time around and peel after just a short year. You'll get better over time and ultimately, the biggest takeaway from this experience is that Wrapping should not be evaluated as an EQUAL to paint because it simply is not!

    As a professional vinly wrapper and ppf installer, I can say this is such a good video I might have to start showing my customers this. You hit on pretty much all of the FAQs and key talking points I go over.
    Instead of wax for vinyl(especiallymatte and satin), we use 303 to keep up on it.
    I tell my customers that the best reason to do a wrap is because you want a something that is a crazy color, pattern, or finish that is hard to paint. Otherwise, just be patient with picking out a car in the color that you actually want.

    So my takeaway from this video is... If I was a bit keen on wraps before, now I am all against
    Considering it being prone to damaging and peeling off, I'd rather have my car stripped to bare unibody and painted for 3x the price, and then be happy for 30 years without worries instead of 3 years with everyday stress about the wrap condition

    Please note that everything is based on how well the wrap was installed. Someone who is good at wrapping can use the really cheap stuff and have it last for a very long time. That being said the quality of the vinyl itself is very important especially because most people are not pros.
    As a side note I wrapped my car by my self for the first time over a year ago with the cheapest stuff on the market (cheetah wrap vinyl. $400 for a roll of 60ft). So far the wrap has held up for the most part. It certainly has pealing up in some areas but that is because of instal error such as not cleaning the part I’m wrapping. However I want to say that I did a matte purple and I have washed it many times and I love it because it’s easier for me to wash. I just use a wash mit and have never pealed it or damaged it and I don’t have any micro scratches. Note I live in Utah being somewhere else will have different effects. Also my car is outside 100% of the time and has been taken on multiple road trips.
    Honestly I did vinyl because my paint was crap and I didn’t want to pay for a paint job and vinyl is way less maintenance

    For me wrap is only for new cars as to not damage the paint.
    Paint is for cars that had their years.
    If a wrap job cost more then a paint job then just stick with paint, it'll come out better and won't peal overtime.
    Now if you are looking for a color for a project car and just don't like the look of your car while it's still being worked on or just sitting then wrap is a good option while you still think about what color you want.
    For me I had bought a 240sx and decided to wrap it pearl white myself till I decide what color I'll be painting it.

    I’m going to be making a track/touge car soon, what should I do for that? I know there are going to be a lot of rock chips and all of that from stuff coming off the road, so what would be better for me? A wrap or just paint? because if I paint I can just get a new bumper or just sand it and then repaint, but with wrap I have to go to the wrap shop and get more and do all that over again, I’m not sure.
