    Trying to count how many scratches are on my truck is like trying to guess how many jelly beans are in the jar...

    Not when you can wreck the vinyl wrap and then peel it off to have pristine paint.

    Doesn't vinyl tear if something like a branch or rock catches it?

    You know, I haven't fully looked into it just tossing idea's out there for the op. My 6 month old truck is pinstriped so I obviously don't care.

    Ahh okay. Just wondering.

    I was thinking about wrapping my car as a temp color change from the gray that it is....But it would cost a few thousand and I am hoping it would last a while. Not that I would take my car on the trail or anything, but at the car shows not everyone cares and sometimes rubs up trying to pass with strollers and such.

    I do my best not to let it get deep scratches. But it's got it's fair share of "Nevada pinstriping"

    It's a truck, it happens... like others have said. Yesterday I slapped a tree and a stump in mine. I've been off roading 4-5 times (first experiences ever wheeling) and I'm surprised it took this long to damage it.
