For kicks, I called around to a couple of body shops in virginia to just ask how much for a complete repaint of a Model S in the original color (which would mean no labor associated with painting door jambs and such.) Quotes ranged from ~$3900 to $5800 total if no body work was needed. Just basic but complete prep and shoot paint. high end Private shops not Maaco/Chains.
I mean, for that price, one could get a complete respray in a few years and come out with a brand new looking car for cheaper than PPF wrap. (Also, as someone who had PPF on a bumper before, PPF can get nicks over time. Not 100% of all PPF nicks "self heal" perfectly. So you end up with visual imperfections along the way. Now admittedly those nicks may not make it through to the paint, but still, you are looking at them..and unlike a small stone chip in paint, you cant touch up small nicks in PPF..
Many years ago I had an older car (BMW) fully repainted in factory OEM color. Was a really good job. When I went to sell it? Got top dollar. No one even asked (nor cared) if it had been repainted. Maybe because it was an original BMW color/the original color.. (as an FYI, its the only car I've ever had fully repainted. All of my other cars I simply clean up really well, take great (if flattering) pics, and sell myself. Not a single buyer ever raised a concern over small stone chips. And Ive always gotten top dollar)
