Have any of you every thought about Wraping your truck
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..

Re: Have any of you every thought about Wraping your truck
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.

Re: Have any of you every thought about Wraping your truck
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.

Re: Have any of you every thought about Wraping your truck
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.

Re: Have any of you every thought about Wraping your truck
I thought about wrapping my miata with pink and black duck tape, but never a classic.

Re: Have any of you every thought about Wraping your truck
I wrapped my 2007 duramax and it looked great. Got tired of it and pealed it off!

Re: Have any of you every thought about Wraping your truck
spray paint is cheap too! You could change that as often as you felt like masking things off.
