What did you end up going with on the outside paint or a wrap?

It looks like paint with seamless body work lol score! You did it yourself? Was it a spray or film?

I did it myself. Its a vinyl film that 3m makes. Wax it and keep it inside and it last as long as paint. Im 16 and its simple to put on. Do any monkey with a heat gun can out it on. Pretty cheap too.

That's very cool. Where did you find that wrap at? How much was it to do the XJ if you don't mind me asking?

Frantic-wrap and tools to finish the job was $500. Heat gun and a squeegee. Like I said, im 16 and find it very easy. You learn very quickly. Tons of videos on how to do it!

Not bad at all. And say if, you scratch a fender, peel it off and re-wrap it. No taping off, no over spray, and $30. And most of all, no damn body work. You should have seen how bad my cj was before we got done. Never doing body work again.
