Default Liquid Wrapped A5

I run a small shop (
Facebook Post
) and decided I needed to protect the factory black paint, wanted something different so did a custom mix! Wanted a anodized denim look!

Looking very sharp! How much does a wrap typically cost? Does it vary depending on the wrap itself?

Default "...decided to protect the factory black paint..." ????

I'm afraid I just don't understand. If you don't want a black car, why did you buy a black car? Also, if you don't want a black car, why the need to "protect" the black paint that will no longer be seen?

Some people just want a non-factory color and sometimes a car is perfectly optioned except the color. Black cars seem to be the better choice to wrap due to all the places that do not get wrapped being black (door jams, engine bay, etc). Those areas typically just look better black if they are not going to be the same color. The parents of one of my daughters volleyball teammates wrapped their white Range Rover a dark color and it looks weird when they open the doors. They also have a few chips in the wrap that stand out due to the high contrast between the wrap and white paint.

point of wrap is to add a new look/ protect paint. I own and operate a liquid wrap business so it is also advertising for me. Black is perfect base for wraps! Also, I am protecting paint because when I go to sell car in a few months, paint will not be chipped up in the front.
