The cost of the color change vinyl wrap is a fraction of the cost of PPF. The lifespan isn't as long either. The installation process of both are very similar and take about the same amount of time. Some vehicles need more things removed to do the color change that isn't needed for the PPF, like mirrors, lights, reflectors, door handles etc.
They each have their challenges during installation, so I wouldn't say one is "easier" than the other.
"Printed" color change wraps are definitely different than a solid color change too. The "camo" pic above is a printed design on a white material. They tend to fade quicker and are also more common for advertising a company's logos and such.
Depending on the color and brand, color change wraps can last 2-7 years before they fade or start to look "weathered". Printed wraps can last 2-5 years or longer if they are maintained and garaged/shaded during the daytime.
The PPF materials have a 10 year lifespan. I cannot stress enough, there is a massive difference between a "Guarantee" and a "warranty". A guarantee means "if/when the product fails within certain perimeters, the manufacturer or shop will give you an amount of money back."
A warranty means "if/when the product fails within certain perimeters, the manufacturer or shop will REPLACE the failed product. Often times the manufacturer of the failed product will compensate the installation shop either with store credit or with actual financial compensation for the labor and/or product.
