TJ Enthusiast
I've thought about getting a wrap before. It's not permanent, inexpensive (compared to a paintjob) I've just never seen a TJ with a wrap though. Of course I wouldn't do some ugly weird color.
Nice colors, Has anyone thought about a wrap? Seems like it might be nice to have a tougher coating on something that’s gonna bash through the woods.
Wow! Nice Jeep. Love the color.Thank you for that shout out.
It's actually a custom tan the previous owner had done, but I can't stop and get gas w/o getting questioned about the color.

I came "this" close to getting those wheels this past year when I put mine on. They just fit the Jeep's look so well!
It can look sharp if done right. I saw this guy a while ago while I was out grocery shopping and I liked it quite a bit.

How hard is it it wash with the raptor line and stuff? Any issues you have noticed? Fading or anything?
the thing that always turns me away from the idea of a wrap it when I think about taking it off.I've thought about getting a wrap before. It's not permanent, inexpensive (compared to a paintjob) I've just never seen a TJ with a wrap though. Of course I wouldn't do some ugly weird color.
Really like the shade of red in your "after" photo. Looks really great! Also, do you have Savvy armor?
I would bet a good repaint will be $7500 and a full color change is approaching $10K...at least here in lower NYI realize what I’m about to ask depends on many factors, but what is average cost to paint a Jeep? Or what have you paid? Mine has lots of trail rash from the PO. It’s not mission critical but in the next 1-2 years I’m going to want it done. I want it done well, not some 149.99$ drive in paint job. Fire away
Buy a gun and teach yourself. Paint will cost about 200 bucks, sandpaper is cheap, if you fuck it up, spray it again.I realize what I’m about to ask depends on many factors, but what is average cost to paint a Jeep?

Would love to learn to paint...but I bet a good quality paint and clear is approaching $1000 for a full paint job?Buy a gun and teach yourself. Paint will cost about 200 bucks, sandpaper is cheap, if you fuck it up, spray it again.
I bet you could paint a TJ w/ a quart...There's a place out of Toledo (Ebay) I just bought a pint of my color, a pint of my kid's color, a quart of clear, and activator for like a hundred bucks. I spoke to the guys on the phone, really nice, easy to work w/. I think it's called TNT Paint and Supply, they have a website as well, family owned.Would love to learn to paint...but I bet a good quality paint and clear is approaching $1000 for a full paint job?

I like my gunmetal pearl...but, I really like desert tan, battleship grey, cobalt blue. I would be totally fine re-spraying w/ rustoleum, it's way more durable than car paint (and easier to touch up). But, my current paint has zero issues, so I'd be more likely to go cobalt blue so at least there will a degree of cohesion not having to paint the interior bits.
