What happened to PAINT?
I have trouble applying a protective cover on my phone, but this is nuts. I never heard of a "wrap" on a car. Lots of questions come to mind like how long does this last? Is it easy to fix? Getting all the air bubbles out.

wraps have been around for a long time, Nascar was using them 20 years ago.
No personal experience with them. You should see what can be done with Plasti-Dip. |

I'm curious about the condition of the paint after the wrap is removed.

Yup, wraps have been around for a long time. Taken care of they'll last many years. And, unlike paint, when you get tired of the wrap you just peel it off.

I had a clear bra attached to a new car about 20 yrs. ago. It has cracked, yellowed some, etc...just looks awful. Trying to remove it is a nightmare! I've tried heat, etc...just a total PITA. They now say...maybe I should have known, but didn't....you were suppose to wax it like paint over the years....and I didn't. Trying to remove it without damage to the original paint is a PITA now.
