Wrap vs Respray, an Honest Cost Comparison
A proper full wrap and a proper full respray sit in a similar price band. The wrap comes off in five to seven years, the respray is permanent. Want the colour for life, paint it. Want your factory paint back one day, wrap it. For the wrapping side of this decision, see Car Wrapping → For the paint side, see Spray Painting →
Why the Price Lands Similar Despite Being Different Jobs
Wrapping is priced by the metre and the hour, respray by the panel, prep and paint system. At a full-car scale they tend to converge, which surprises most people expecting wrap to be the cheap option.
The Real Difference Is Lifespan, Not Price
A respray is permanent, for better or worse. A wrap is a decision you can reverse, which matters if you’re not sure you’ll love a colour in five years, or if the car’s leased.
Which One Actually Suits Your Situation
If the car is a keeper and you want the factory finish preserved underneath, wrap. If you want the new colour to be the only colour, forever, respray.
