I'd be curious to know the difference in price of a wrap vs paint on a new rig. In our case with the multiple colors and swirl designs, a paint job was going to be 50k vs the 10k for the wrap. We expect 7 to 8 years on the wrap before we need to do it again as we keep it under cover when not using it.
Paint will definitely last longer and just doing graphics is the most reasonably priced way to go. Looking forward to hearing which option the op decides to do.
If you are taking an old rig that requires a lot of heavy duty prep work and then you are painting the entire rig...not just graphics, that's a totally different animal. Realistically, most times it more than the rig is worth to do a full paint job.
But since the OP is talking about a new rig, assuming they didn't wax it or otherwise mess things up...should just be a quick clean and prep where the graphics are going, then paint.
