Wrapping a car is like giving it a temporary tattoo—except this one costs a few grand and lasts years. The process involves applying a large vinyl film over the vehicle's paintwork, allowing for a new colour, finish, or even wild graphics without the permanence of a respray. Cost-wise, expect anywhere from $2,000 to $6,000 AUD depending on size and complexity. The benefits? Protection from minor scratches and the ability to revert to original paint later on. Downsides include potential bubbling or peeling if done poorly, and some wraps can fade under harsh Aussie sun. For a good wrap, hit up specialists found on Tradingpost or CarShowroom listings and avoid the dodgy backyard operators.
