buy vinyl, paint, replace?

I'm inclined for vinyl but I'm not sure which brand has good quality

I used plasti-dip on the front V. Has held up for about 4 years now and pretty easy to do. Easily reversible also.

As I'm sure plasti-dip is fine, I elected to go Vinyl wrap (Avery). I wrapped roof, spoiler, rear diffuser, sides accents, trunk trim, front badge (only Circle part) door handles. Guess you can say once i started I can't stop. I watched a ton of YouTube videos. They didn't prepare me for what I had to do tho. So let me give you some advice I had to learn the hardway if you gonna do yourself. Be paitence, (really take you time), If you fail learn from your mistake. I'm doing the rest of my chrome very soon. Hoping to lower, and get new wheels in the future. Hope this helps

Thank you all for replies. I decided to go with the wrapping method.

It will be pain in the **** to do so but it will be worth

I started to vinyl wrap the chrome around the windows but the weather got bad. I plasti-dip the emblems. The front end i started to use wrap and it was a pain plus it looked cartoony, the black vinyl really stood out against the black front end (plus the whole car is Super Black). I'm thinking i might plasti-dip it or try another vinyl.
