i have looked into vinyl wraps and they are crazy expensive...for a single color wrap i have been quoted anywhere from $2500-3500! i know, rediculous huh? i called every place that did them in my phone book thinking that it was just a crazy few that was charging that much...

satin vinyl is only 100 or so that would be ton of labor cost to equal 2-3k. i'm not sure what kind of paint you can get from napa but i don't think it would be top qaulity.
