Get it wrapped instead of painted.

but why

[$trinick]

Wraps are sooo pretty.

Not sure if it comes up just for me, but looking up wraps all turns out in San Diego

[$trinick]

Well, one of my good friends actually holds the patent to the wrapping process so that could have something to do with it.

EasyE, are you willing to drive to San Diego for a wrap?

I kind of want to get my car wrapped. Wraps are so much better than paint, they require much less manicuring and when they get damaged over time you can just peel it off to reveal pristine paint. My paint is already starting to deteriorate because I can't garage my car, so water spots are forming on the car where it gets hit by rain and sprinklers.

Actually, just remembered there is a place like five miles from me that does them.  It's a tiny garage that is privately owned (I know where the owner lives because I saw a mailbox with the business name on it) called LogoDaddy.  They do all sorts of vinyls and designing of many different objects including but not limited to:

- Cars (pretty sure, since the company car has all of the same vinyls as everything else)
- Clothing
- Mailbox covers apparently
- Bumper stickers

They are actually pretty good.  All of the senior attire and Northwest Lions merchandise is designed and made there.

I don't really want a wrap. It's probably more expensive though?

Well can you get a wrap that looks just like paint would or is it always like it looks in that picture you just showed?

Im really clueless about wraps, i thought they were just those things monster energy did and what not

Wraps can look just like paint, I showed you a chrome wrap so it looked like chrome.

How much is a good full body paint job?  My dad got one done on his Mustang (obviously years ago) after he destroyed the front end when he hit a deer on the interstate in 1997 and it is still visible (looks horrible, probably a thrifty move that my dad is known for).

Could anyone recommend me some nice 2 door cars from around the 90s ish.
Something relatively fast, with decent mpg.

Pfft, like at least 2 grand. They have to sand off all your existing paint, apply a primer level, apply paint in layers, then clearcoat. It's tons of labor and materials.

Toyota Supra. Too bad that's probably out of your price range.
