    To Plastidip or Wrap is the Question?

    I've been looking around at both options and the only place I've seen near to San Diego (with good reviews)

    Rolotech (Wrap)

    Anyone have thier entire car done?

    Any and all advice is welcome. Thanks!

    Plastidip is more fagile and won't last NEARLY as long. You are also limited on colors and finishes. A full wrap is more durable and the designs and colors are only limited by your wallet. You can't really go wrong with Rolotech. They have the best prices and I've personally seen quite a few entire cars done by them.

    if your going through a face that you want your car to look different just plastidip it because when your over it you can just pull it off. If you want something that's going to last a couple years wrapping it is the way to go but you are paying 3 times to amount of money rather then dipping it . Ive head alot of good things about rolotech also

    I used to plastidip little stuff like badges ... its fine if the stuff you do is small and you can always redo it easy. But anything bigger than that will cause too much preparation. And after hours prepare you might see BAD results(uneven paint, air bubbles and whatever dusts/dirts.). and Redo it seems FOREVER lol.

    Wrap is good, last longer, easier maintenance (still have to be careful).

    But you still needs to find people with real skills to do it for you! and believe me

    ROLOTECH is probably the BEST IN SOCAL (PRICE/QUALITY/FLEXIBILITY wise).

    No offense, but the dude in this video completely failed at applying the product to his vehicle. His troubles were direct results of not following instructions and not failure of the product.

    I agree with thee other fellas.... Wrap will last longer and look better. Rolotech is the place to go! I'm going to Carbon fiber vinyl wrap my roof on my X!

    I just recently finished wrapping my Evo ix myself. Took me a lot of time and patience but I saved a shit ton of money and got to know how to wrap! Came out pretty good everyone said! I wouldn't do the plasti dip, just heard a lot of bad things about it

    There's a guy that plastidipped his motorcycle. After he left it on for a few months when he pealed it it removed his clear coat as well. I'd only plastidip small things like emblems and stuff (wheels at most), but I wouldn't do a whole car.
