Just curious what you mean by this? My experience has been that a good vinyl that is correctly applied can look much better than a paint job at 1/10th the price(or less).
If you guys know someone who does paint, make sure you get references... It's easy to get sucked in but don't confuse inexpensive work with cheap work. A poor paint job will ruin the look of the car and cost you a LOT more in the long run. |

I haven't seen a good vinyl job yet unfortunately... i've seen a number of the guys cars up close and theres surface scratches on the first day. Also area's that have directional heat marks from the squegee pushing on the film, not to mention the sharkfins have all been piece worked together. I agree 110% if you find someone who can do it perfectly its definately a better option for those who might change their mind on the look or have to do a lease return. But as I said unfortunately i have yet to see one that looked like a quality enough job for my picky ass eye!!
