Is it cheaper to get a car wrapped or painted?
A custom paint job on a car can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000, based on what color you want. Based on materials and how difficult the wrap job will be, a vehicle wrap only costs $500 to around $4,000. Custom vinyl vehicle wraps use high-quality, cutting-edge printing techniques that can give your car a new lease of life. You can choose anything from solid color finishes (such as matte, metallic, high gloss black colors, for example), full wrap animal print patterns, to anything you can think of. Carbon fiber vinyl film is one of the most popular treatments, and when properly applied, it looks like the real deal.
