[QUOTE="Daryl, post: 1550255, member: 24538"] MY OPTIONS AS I SEE IT: I “gotta guy” (he recently did my front bumper fascia) so I’ll ask him his opinion about a respray vs wrap vs full-on professional detail with maybe a few small paint corrections. OPTION 1: The first wrap quote I got was $3,500 and 1 week. The second, from an acquaintance source with 10+ yrs experience $2,600 2days. Obviously half or less than half the price of a full body touch-up + paint job, but I’m still not 100% sold on wrap being the easy way out. I’m finding out that they require as much attention, usually with products specifically for wraps, and can suffer the same blemishes (ie, swirls) as paint. Starting to appear that the primary day-to-day advantage is maybe you don’t have to wash it as often because the satin finish of the wrap hides the dust a bit longer? OPTION 2: The full paint job with light bodywork touch-ups (even from “my guy”) I’m figuring he’s gonna quote me $6k+ He always hooks me up with a good price because we’ve done business together for over 15 years, 2 resto mods and DD’s. Plus, I always pay in ca$h. ;-) OPTION 3: just have it professionally detailed, leave the few blemishes, learn to get over my OCD knowing they’re there (ie, ignore them)and be done with it, Or, OPTION 4: I could have “my guy” do the light blemish corrections then have it detailed professionally . Probably end up killing $1k [/QUOTE]
