Had cpl guys tell me a wrap would be better than paint job for few reasons. Mainly tougher and probably less expensive.

My questions are. How much shine do they normally have?
Would it be cheaper second time around since art works done and they should have on file?
Anyone running one or have freind that does? Thoughts on them

Biggest question anyone near NC that you know of who does them that I might get more direct answer from?

I inquired about a wrap for my dragster when I was in middle of getting a couple dents repaired. I was told I needed an complete paint job with clear coat and not just smooth primer with old paint. I’m a single color kind of guy, so my thought was just paint it and not worry about a wrap. My heads up buddy on the other hand, has a mustang. His wrap about ten years old and looks great and has been tough.

My Beretta is wrapped and everyone thinks it's painted because it's so shiny....I bought the car already wrapped and the guy told me it cost $2800 at the time.
I personally like a wrap because it's so durable.

A high dollar paint job will always look better that a wrap, if you're after a show car look then that is the way to go...………..but wraps have come a long way and they come close, and to me make much better sense for a race car. Plus they are more durable and can be repaired or changed easily. I had mine wrapped, then changed part of it to include FTI's logo. The cost is much less and you can do just about anything. My suggestion is that you go with someone that has lots of experience and has been around for a long time, you need someone that will be there for you when you want to change or modify it or repair parts of it.

I would highly suggest The Wrap Pros/BB Graphics here in Ocala, but that's probably not an option for you because the distance from you.
