I was quoted $4k. Not that hard to remove, although lots of work to put it on. I might do this some day. I love my car and intend to keep it, but I'm going to need to do something to keep it fresh.

I was quoted $3500-$4500 from different companies. I went with Impressive Wraps - they were running a 50% special for L4P members on the website.

It took just under a week to do my 430 but I had them do special parts such as my rear diffuser.
Taking it off is just a few hundred $'s.

3 - 4 grand is much less than a paintjob, but much less permanent also. I don't imagine taking it off would be hard, also cleanup should be easier and take less time. Wash and go no need to polish, wax, or use sealents, etc...

I love the slate blue on my Aston, I dunno if I would get it wrapped but I've never seen a matte slate blue, maybe get a matte clear film overtop the original factory color... hmmnn

My thought is to do something really different from what you have to keep things new. For me, this means going with a bright color that is in stark contrast with Quantum Silver. Hmmm, maybe a blue metallic. We'll see. I just got my stripe removed so I am going to keep things stock for now. After having the stripe on for so long the car looks completely different (naked!).

Eric H. is infamous around these parts
My best advice when it comes to wrapping your car, don't base your decision on price. Look at the quality of work and what they do in terms of disassembly, tucking the wrap etc. The last thing you want to do is find shoddy work and realize they are using a razor blade cutting into your window trim/paint.
