When painting there is the problem with blending the new paint into the old paint to achieve the same even look. Computer printed graphics can be adjusted by printing strips of the graphics and making modification to the output color before printing the entire panel needing to be replaced. With a well thought out design, on your first vehicle wrap, changing out logos and ad messages is as simple as replacing the strategically designed panel. As for fading due to uv damage, 3M has products that are designed to last as long if not longer than vehicle paint.

As long as somebody has the smarts to remove the wrap before it looks like Cr^p. I have seen wraps used on everything from trains to buses and they are very cool until they wear out, UV damage ect.
