New Paint or Wrap?

[RockTrooper]

I have been thinking about changing the color of my Jeep. The research I have done, it seems I have a few options, so I wanted to get some feedback from the Jeep community and see if anyone has some background information.

1) New Paint Job
2) New Paint Job with Kevlar paint 
3) Get the Jeep wrapped

Has anyone had experience with the Kevlar paint? I'm digging the function and the durability, however I have heard issue with it shipping off easy. 

How about getting it "wrapped"? I know this is not a permanent solution and I'll have the ability to add designs and really create a custom look.

looking for any and all feedback. Thanks in advance!

Wrap it. Ive seen some really cool wraps Rebel OffRoad up in Laguna hills has some great wrapped jeeps and they hold up well.

Wrap. You can do cool stuff like digital camo or custom designs. It's also cheaper to repair. Let's say you scratch a panel. You can re-wrap the one panel. With paint there will be additional blending the will be required for a seamless repair. I've been in collision repair for 20 years. Paint is great for show cars. Wrap is the way to go. Plus, it's cheaper. A good refinish can be close to $10K. We have a saying in the body shop business. Good work isn't cheap, cheap work isn't good.

Yes, "wrapping" the rig will allow a lot of customizations to be done!

Good question. My guess is that it would range based on what I actually want to do and how detailed I would get with the customizations. There are a few places I am going to reach out to and get estimates.

Great info, someone in the business who knows. Thanks! Do you know if any reputable companies I could reach out to and get quotes?

Yep, I have seen the same, which is how the option to "wrap" the rig got added. I need to do some research of what the lifespan on a wrap is, if heat has anything to do with it and anything else I just don't know about yet. This is gonna be fun! Lol

I'll have to say "Wrap it!". So many color options, cool designs, material quality and at a fraction of the cost compared to a paint job ('cause men, body work and a paint job is SUPER expensive here in Cali).
