Paint or wrap guys in TN area? or what would you do

Im hoping to be wrapping things up on my truck build in the next few weeks and will be looking into the paint situation over the next year or so.. I figure a good shop is gonna be that backed up anyways.. Im not really sure what I want to do... The paint on the truck is decent.. For being 32 years old. Its been this red ever since my dad bought it back in 1994.. Truck is factory blue so that ship has sailed.. Im just kinda over the bright ass red. A couple years after my pops passed and I have taken over the build.. I have considered a wrap.. Not sure about those... But Im not sure about a whole color swap paint job either... Im def open to opinions. Anybody ever seen a good looking 2 tone scheme on a stepside? I have thought about maybe doing the grille and maybe cab another color.. White? Also.. let me say this.. I am not wanting a 100k SEMA job lol.. Lots of guys out here doing good work for a good price.. I just dont know em lol

Where in TN are you? We have some big truck toolboxes wrapped just over the border from Chattanooga in the Chickamauga, GA area.

Can't or won't speak to the color. Purely a personal choice.
But as understand with a wrap any issues on the current paint will show up in the wrap.

Paint and body are decent.. Truck isnt to far from being just a sand a shoot..

Paint jobs now days are very expensive say $10k plus for a complete nice paint job. For the long term I would paint. If you want a cheaper and less time involved I say wrap.
