    Didn't know where to post this at, so figured this would be my best bet, so sorry in advance if this is the wrong spot lol.
    Long story short, a few weeks ago, I was unfortunate enough to have my door hit (witch smacked my fender) by a state trooper! While I was fishing.
    The insurance company called and said we'd settle on 1500 bucks. My truck already has some hail damage, and some scratches. I'm split between getting the truck vinyl wrapped, witch seems sketchy and like waste of money, or just getting the door and fender painted. What do you guys think? Just paint it? or vinyl wrap the whole truck?

    If it seems sketchy and a waste of money to you, then why are you still considering it

    Option 3: if you can live with how it looks leave it as is and put the money into repairs and upgrades

    Id probably just paint it. Wraps last a few years, some have good luck with them some don't. Plus they are about the same price of a paint job aren't they?

    Yeah man, its almost even cheaper for the vinyl wrap. Crazy huh? Thanks for the input though! I'll probably just paint it and get it back to where it was before.
