wrap vs paint
 

Does anyone here in Maryland have their boat wrapped? I'm thinking about having mine done and would really like to see one in person.

wraps are sh$t... you will be disappointed unless you look at it from 100' away

And you are baseing that off what?

Ouch! Right to the point. Lol bad experience or just from what you've noticed and seen on others. I'm only curious myself as I'm looking at repainting this winter. And had a small thought about wrapping.

I loved my wrap and would do it again.

Wraps are only as good as the graphic designer and the installer. Have had wraps on my boats, trailers, and tow vehicles. I also have custom painted bikes, cars and a boat. Each has its pros and cons. For a bold, cost effective look its hard to argue that a wrap is chit, as long as its applied right!

This is all wrapped and I don't think it looks like $hit! Paint can look as bad if also not designed or prepped correctly! It's o different with a wrap!

Looks great 502! Really brought your boat up to date.

That is really nice looking.

I think there is a argument for both. If you have the coin and you have a high $ boat, by all means pay the $ to paint the boat. If you are on a budget, like the flashy look (not the basic classic hockey stick look) and not a high $ boat, do the wrap. Yes the paint is more durable and might have a bit of depth, there is a huge difference in price. A nice wrap might cost $3500 and the same wrap in paint might cost $25000. One thing to to remember is that you have to be gentle with the wrap it is not nearly as durable as paint.
