I was considering a vinyl wrap for my 09, which had kinda rough paint, but I decided having the car repainted instead is worth it. I did all the prep work (took 3 weeks working 10 hours/day) and dropped it off at Maaco for a PPG base/clear system (cost = $1100 for epoxy sealer, factory color paint, ...
