If your Hilux’s paint is in bad shape, you have two options: repaint o r wrap.

Repainting
Pros: Long-lasting 10+ years, restores factory appearance.
Cons: Expensive $3,000–$7,000 for a quality job, time-consuming.

Vinyl Wrapping
Pros: Cost-effective $1,500–$5,000, protects original paint, allows for unique designs.
Cons: Less durable 5–7 years, can peel if poorly installed.

If you want a permanent fix, repainting is better. If you want a temporary style change, a wrap is the way to go.
