BAY AREA PRICES GOING CRAZY 👀 | DIY vs. Mediocre Paint Job 

I agree... those high quotes were because of the body work involved, which it needed A LOT of.

I agree

6k sounds right to me for a complete paint job that requires more than a lay over. Agree with you all.

As in the body kit and car was thrashed needed hella work

6k for paint and body sounds way too cheap to fix all the issues seen in the video. 6k for paint or 5k for wrap I'm going paint everytime.

Thanks! It’s a very hard bumper

LMFAOOO

I have never tried to wax a wrap before. Maybe it helps prevent sun damage? I might have to test this out

@@ParadoxTheWrapper It’s all about UV protection and most waxes have a LOT of UV protection built in, but it degrades over time. I’ll gladly spend 20 minutes after washing every time to keep my finish looking great and save me from unwarapping/ rewrapping 😎

@@ParadoxTheWrapper Ceramic coating is basically a fancy wax coating (yes I know it's more complicated than that) that needs less replenishing but it degrades over time as well. Most people don't wax their cars often enough, especially in CA where there is little cloud cover and cars are exposed to UV twice as much as cars in other, more northern, states.

why ru gay foo? lmfao

No one paying you 5k not even Cali area charges that

5k my ass

I get what you mean but no. Wraps are over price because they wanna make it seem like it's hard to do when it's not. The film is very flexible and could be moved to fit almost anything. And removing a bumper or door 2 people at a time is no problem. They just wanna always up charge.

@@PatrickGotHands5k for paint

Thanks!

Thanks! It’s not so bad when you get use to do long them

Thanks!

​@ParadoxTheWrapper wanna share the price.. for this wrap please

yeah man those rivets being shiny is not the move... smooth or nothing.

Thanks! It was definitely very hard

That’s because everything looks good on cam. Wrap is shit

😂

That's what I'm saying but even taking a class I don't have the patience for even doing that.

1st don't underestimate yourself ...RU-vid is the best school for free look for some on how to and just do it.....

Cars yes. Trucks it depends on how big the truck is, you need to measure to be sure

@@ParadoxTheWrapper I have a 2008 bmw x5 wide body & was wondering if it would be enough

Dm me pics of your car on instagram @paradoxwraps

Dm me pics of the car to set it up

Best to keep it covered or garaged when not using it

Clear tail lights

California. It's illegal

​@mobility63 doesn't stop anyone tho

You literally heard him the first few seconds. I know many shops that give fck off quotes just because they dont want to do the job. $5,000 is definitely a fck of quote. For that car thats $3-4K minimum-maximum not $5,000.

@@thisnewcreatedaccount5286 Very true! It could have 100% been a fuck off quote but I’ve done a good fair of Tesla’s (Simple 2-3 Day turn arounds) for $4500 minimum with 3M vinyl because I can back up the install and have quality more than paid attention too. My shops in Santa Clara and probably the price of Two mortgages in the valley. My PPF full body starts at $7500+ (3/4 day job) but we come back to quality and piece of mind not just because of wanting to have your car be in a video. I love what paradox does but he can’t compare his prices to someone who literally went to school/training and has paid/sent out employees to get certified to keep the quality and business going. Yes it’s expensive (for you) but there are levels and levels of people that can easily afford a $6500 wrap job

"Easy" mode tf 😂

Yeah for sure. Those who can afford that price wants perfection. I’m just in into wrapping cars in any condition because it makes great content and just wanna inspire others to try ur themselves. I can never give the guarantees like you guys do, much respect to you for that.

@@ParadoxTheWrapper 100% And I like that you always say that in your videos, I remember you saying that you are not a professional but you do it for fun, You’ve been doing it for hella long so you’re basically a professional haha, I also do know you have a brand to promote/ a brand that is made for people that do DIY, Not hate against that, that’s a W because who wouldn’t want to do that 🤌🏼

Thanks!

Yeah that’s why you should learn how to wrap it yourself. Once you know how it’s only a couple hundred and you can just buy a daily instead

Damn near impossible. Then when the wrap is off you have to battle the baked on glue. Ask me how I know. I got my duramax with a blak wrapped hood in the vegas heat. once the shows visible crack lines your fucked. Even if you get it off the glue is almost impossible to remove.

What does foot wear have to do with wrapping skills
