My '76 is showing signs of its age. I don't think the car has been hit so I would like to keep it as original as possible.
Does anyone have experience with using a wrap rather than paint? Thank you for your input! |

Thank you for your input! try posting this in the garage section of the forum. you might get a good helpful answer there. unlikely for anyone doing wraps and stuff like that to see this question here.

There’s a ton of info on wrapping a car. Just Google it or check out YouTube.

Haven't done it but know a couple of people who have... it's not much cheaper than paint, and the finish has to be perfect before applying the wrap. Just as with paint every surface imperfection will be visible without fastidious prep.

Pros will charge a couple thousand but it’s something you can diy for a couple hundred.
