As an airbrush artist and a painter the biggest difference which no one mentions is the long run of it and how it can be fixed or not fixed. With vinyl as soon as you get a scratches, chips and dents and, you will. You're stuck and have to pay to have it all redone. With paint it can be touched up. And since I do high quality art, I can also spot repair the art and reclear and cut and buff it to a perfect mirror finish. That's the difference.

I choose wrap any day because you can choose and customize any combination of colors or design and install at ease as long as you have patience, I do my own wraps. In addition with wrap there is no sanding polishing mixing or any of that bs that you have to do with painting, clean prep install done. With wrap though say good bye to automated car washes and leaving your car out in the sun without a car cover.

Orange peel with vinyl is irrelevant now because many companies have created wraps that look more clear than paint. Biggest issue i can think about between vinyl & paint for a diy’r is that if you don’t have patience than you’re not gonna be able to get far in wrapping the car yourself, but with paint anyone can take a sand paper and sand, paint, sand, polish.

BeaKhan, Thank you. This is a terrific comparison. I feel like I understand the process so much better now.

If I had to wrap my car and I have peeling clear coat would I have to sand the whole car down?

How long wrap last and how u know when to change it????

[nickuvarov]

Problems with vinyl come in a year or two. When you have small scratches, of really hot hot weather or winters with chemical roads. If you paint your car with GOOD paint and GOOD hands, yes its gonna cost around 8k, but you will have your car look perfect and shiny waaay longer and also if something happens, you paint it locally without rewrapping the whole part.

what a great, short, BIG Info video. Great points. BeaMan. Thanks. From an old guy. Also with painting we might be inhaling a lot of bad crap. But I been inhaling bad crap my whole life, yet I'm still good. Anyway, great to have these 2 options, and your video really puts out the important points. Thanks. I'ma stick with painting.

I just sold my Focus RS and picked up a JDM evo 8, looking to maybe wrap it or paint and I’m still more sure

I wanna make my 3rd gen acura black but I don't have much money as a teen in high-school. So I've been considering getting someone to wrap my car for me since it is a cheaper option

[hubesjonathan]

Can you still power wash your car if it is wrapped?

[TrustSilence]

Yeah im really liking the new garage look. Fix the skyline already so we can see it in there too
