Have any of you every thought about Wraping your truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

i just want to know if any of you would ever wrap your truck instead of painting it... a wrap last about 3 years and you can change it when ever you want and cost about $700 - 1300..

The body would have to be perfect or have body work done and primered at least.. if the vinyl even sticks to primer... it might not. It is pretty cool how they can make it look so good.

I have never seen a wrap that had that deep mirror reflection like paint does. I am sure with technology these days it is close but I prefer paint on metal myself.

original-71 · 02-21-2013, 04:58 PM

ive never been a fan of wraps period

All our service trucks are wraped. You get about three years out of one up here. I like them. They hide a lot of flaws.

shawno72 · 02-21-2013, 05:45 PM

Saran wrap is cheaper than that
