It a Wrap, Paint me into a corner or is it a Warp? Options

To start a thread on paint verses a wrap here is the quintessential Gambini. If your paint is ok but not spectacular is it better to spend x-thousands on a full and beautiful paint job or is it wise to consider a current day technology wrap in the color or pattern of your choice allowing you the ability the change the "visual" three to five times verses the life of a paint job.

I went with a wrap when I faced this decision, since I decided I would rather throw 10 grand at an engine and exhaust set up right now, and 2 grand into the wrap vs. 10k for paint and 2K for the engine.

That being said, do NOT try and go cheap if you get a wrap. You get what you pay for. I didn't know this first off, and got some lower end wrap from a high end manufacturer. I ended up getting the good stuff and paying someone to wrap it for me. I recommend 3M or Avery, and their wraps look as good as a paint job, and if you have the gloss wrap, you can even wax on it down the road.

I love having done it this way, and get a ton of compliments when ever I am out with it
