Re-painting a car vs vinyl wrap?

If you do the sanding or find someone to sand for you you'll save most of the painting labor cost.

I'd probably do wrap. I've heard bad things about repainting.

Would something in the middle last a good wile for a car that wouldn't have a lot of weather exposure? If it's about 2500 I think I could stomach that.

After my parents died, I inherited my Father's Toyota which was old and sort of dependable. But every time I saw the car, I saw my parents in it. It wasn't working as my second car because of the angst.

So I went to a local car shop in Houston and explained my problem and asked if they had a really slow time of the year, and if they ever had paint left over from other jobs. The answer was yes to both.

So just after Christmas, the Toyota Station Wagon went from tan to pickup truck blue. And with that change many of the memories. This was a couple of decades ago, but it cost about three hundred, and kept one of his workers employed through Christmas.

Not a great paint job, but good enough. (Great expensive paint job would probably have been wrecked the next week.)

I was planning on keeping the same color anyway so that sounds reasonable enough
