Can't afford to paint my car right now and I was wondering as this for an alternative, my only question is my car has clear coat issues and I'm not going to paint my daily driver because people are ******** and ruin everything, does the wrap stick well to peeling clear coat? I would think it wouldn't but I don't know anything about the stuff, any help?

plasti dip would be a better option than wrap IMO

I think the raps are just as expensive if not more expensive. just get a crap cheap paint job with a single coat and run that until you can afford something better.

Yeah, I think you'd be paying as much, or most likely even more, for a wrap than just a cheapo paint job at MAACO, or some other cheap shop.

I've seen plenty of shops advertise on Craigslist paint jobs for under 500 bucks.

Or, as Tweek said, just get a few cans of Plastidip and get spraying. It'll look like ****, IMO, but at least it is somewhat uniform, if that's what you are after.

I have nothing to add to cost benefit or ability of a wrap to stick to a surface that is peeling. However, I would go against to grain and lean towards a wrap before a cheap paint job. Cheap paint jobs overspray on everything and mess up all kinds of stuff. Everytime I see a cheap paint job with pain on the muffler, under the hood, window trim, etc it makes me cringe. A wrap won't do that.

I actually ordered a plasti dip kit and gonna do the car silver, it's pewter now so I figure it won't change it tooooo much. I used to think that plasti dip was only in black but you can make pretty much any color you can think of.

I am the same way man, I would rather have a faded factory paint job then a new cheap after market. Runs, overspray, paint texture looks like elmers glue

A good wrap job or "WJ" would run in the thousands.So plasti-dip FTW.
