There are a few things to consider when deciding whether to wrap or paint your car. The initial cost of wrapping or painting your car will be the biggest factor. On average, a professional paint job can cost between $3,000 and $10,000, while a car wrap will usually cost between $2,500 and $5,000.
The lifespan of a paint job is usually between five and ten years, while a car wrap will last between three and five years. This means that, in the long run, painting your car will be cheaper than wrapping it.
Wrapping your car will also protect the paint underneath from UV damage and other wear and tear, meaning that it can actually help to preserve the value of your car.
So, if you're looking to save money in the long run and don't mind spending a bit more upfront, painting your car is the way to go. However, if you want to protect your car's paint job and don't mind spending a bit more money every few years, car wraps are a great option.
