Cons:

  • Durability Concerns: Some wraps may peel or fade faster than paint, especially in harsh climates.
  • Complexity: Wrapping requires skill, especially around complex curves and edges.
  • Limited Coverage: Some intricate areas might be hard to wrap completely.
  • Cost: While sometimes cheaper than painting, high-quality wraps can be expensive.
  • Average Cost: Depending on design and quality, wrapping your Golf Cart typically ranges from $300 to $1,500.
