While I have seen a ton of wraps on cars , the our shop truck is completely vinyl wrapped for advertising .....you would not get a shine like paint . It would look like a satin finish and ultimately with no graphic , jus as a solid color ...would just not look very good . I would just be patient and keep adding to the money you already have saved , when u have enuff , pop for a good paint job .
DAMN they are that expensive too???....i kinda understand about not having the same finish/gloss as paint.....but i thought it might be a cheaper alternative than all the prep work and bs that the body shop would do....i guess the jambs wouldnt even be the same color either...lol this sucks.....moral of the story...dont buy a roller with shitty paint!!!!

from what i've heard from some painters on this site and elsewhere, some shops won't touch work that isn't their own. they either do all or none. so if the car has been partially prepped, they may say no to the job.
i'd go a step furthur and say to just do the entire job yourself. great learning experience, unbeatable price, and from what ive seen, you can get some great results. if i do another paint job i will most likely do it myself.

wrapping is a bad idea, it wont look anything like a good paintjob and ya it is actually a bit more expensive than paint, and it takes about the same time, reason is they have actually wetsand ur whole car to a dull finish so the vily doesnt peel, its ugly anyway, but ya, nowadays labor at body shops is wicked expensive i just did the rear quarter/hatch/wing on my car and it cost $2900....look!
that there cost $2900, well...i didnt pay for it, my insurance did but thats what i pay them for, ive never made a claim before besides this!
anyway this is how she came out

I couldn't find the link but I remember a German Company that did full color wraps that you care for like you would your paint. They had a bunch of exotics that they did including a chrome Ferrari. You can then pull off the vinyl and have fresh, protected paint underneath (the paint doesn't get wetsanded).
Flying them here alone would probably break the bank for most of us...
