I am looking at used Everests and hate the colour of the available cars so considering a wrap. Had two quotes 40,000 and 58,000 for 3m.

No idea about the longevity of this product and how robust it is to scratches.

Go for a quality wrap like 3M

Painting is not a lot more expensive and is forever. Wrap not.

 

my wife has experience wrapping cars around street lights

Wonder why the OP didn't think of that?

Have you used 3M on your car?

A B40/50k repaint of a large vehicle such as an Everest certainly will not last forever!   Doubt that it would last as long as a wrap, which is forever if you never remove it.

Why bother, you won't see the color when you are in it driving? ????

What is it that you think I can dream about?

If you do remove a wrap you may very well get quite a bill from a detailer to sort the paintwork out.

 

Maybe best to find someone who can do a quality respray… if you go that way choose quality paint.

I'll answer your question.

 

I had a Fortuner wrapped Decmber 2017 with clear coat to protect paintwork.

 

No issues to date, still in good condition.

 

Cost 30K.

You don't like any of the 6 colors available?

Maybe Everest is not the right car for you?

I think that he is looking at something not new…I wish that Artic White had been on offer when we bought ours in 2015…it looks much better than the Pearl White…..
