I'm really digging teal lately...I hope more come out. Would look fantastic on the Miata agreed.

Wrap is expensive as hell though and just a sticker, so it's easily damaged. More easily damaged than easily damaged paint :doomed:

Wraps also don't look great up close. Perfect for photos or a track car, kinda blah in everyday life.

Wrap used to be cheap...now they're basically the same as paint.

I mean I’d wrap a car at like $1k or so. But at over 3 grand that’s one expensive sticker.

Exactly. Just buy the right color car at that point.

It's insane how wrap shot up in price. It's why kids have jumped onto that plastidip train.

I hate that shit so much. Here's a nice painted surface, let's make it look like bedliner but without any of the resilience.

Might I suggest a can of orange spray paint for the Meowta?
A can of good paint will cost more than tree fiddy for that. I'd have to resort to airboating some satsumas from someone's backyard and grinding the rinds up into a paste and combining it with a JB Weld epoxy and smearing it onto my body panels like some Betty Crocker icing. It'll be a hard shell similar to a Rhino Liner texture.
