Ok, so you\u2019ve got this car in your garage that you\u2019ve done a butt-load of bodywork to. It\u2019s straight as an arrow with a quick primer coat on it. The interior and gauges are installed and mechanically your baby is ready to roll. There is however one small problem. You\u2019ve put so much money into the car already to get it to this point that you don\u2019t have the capital for the paint job. Now it\u2019s springtime and the car you thought would be ready will now just be taking up space in the garage unless you find an alternative. <\/p>\n

A good paint job, at least up here in the Northeast is going to cost you at a minimum, $10,000. Now I know some of you will read this and say you have an Uncle that has a barn in a field where the uni-bomber was found and that he could do the job for $6.99\u2026 and that\u2019s great. Here in good ole\u2019 NYC a good painter charges big money, it\u2019s just the way it is, so lets not argue about it. <\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have the funds for paint keep in mind that there may be an alternative. Vinyl wraps on cars are nothing new. They\u2019re relatively inexpensive (2-3 grand) and have a pretty extensive lifeline\u2026 somewhere in the neighborhood of about 5 years or so. You can get any design or color and have the whole thing done in about 3 business days. From 3-feet away onlookers will have no idea that what they\u2019re seeing is not paint. In fact 99.9% of the population won\u2019t no. Is it an ideal situation? Well, it really depends on how you look at it. You can either drive around for the next 5 years in a primer gray car or wrap it so that it looks pretty damn good to the untrained eye\u2026 who knows, it may just be something to consider.<\/p>\n
