    I've been contemplating doing a full car wrap but I wanted to see if anyone here has done it and can offer thoughts or advice. I'm personally leaning toward a shade of green, either satin pine green or midnight green (see photoshop mock ups). Has anyone had experience wrapping their Prius? If so...

    What color did you pick?
    Who did you go with?
    Was it well done?
    Was it well priced?

    Thanks!

    I think you should try to find folks who have had it on a vehicle for at least 3 years to see how it holds up.

    IF......it is similar to the clear "chip guard" strips that the dealer sometimes installs.......that stuff started coming loose at the edges and I had to have it removed.

    The green colors look nice - almost went with a few different green options.
    In the end I went with Rushing Riptide from Avery image0.jpeg image1.jpeg image2.jpeg

    What's the cost difference to repainting?

    Done very well.
    Pricey. Paint cheaper. But different.
    Consider your needs. Clear PPF of hood, front bumper, and maybe doors (for demon possessed shopping carts) for more cost effectiveness. Otherwise, go paint for color. I wanted OEM paint maintained. Considered just PPF front and doors. Also had the PPF ceramic coated (salt belt and other considerations) too many past silver colored cars including two past prii.
    Pictures and stuff in different thread:
    Paint Protection Film on New 2025 PHEV

    Reduced pics just for kicks since found this thread elsewhere. Also looking back, I think I came across it while searching for ideas. Love some of the other colors especially that purple blue glossy one from Shawn Mcknight. Reminded me a little of my dark cherry red 2013 Persona... totaled by rear end collision and replaced with a 2017. Someone bought the 2013 off auction, personally repaired/restored it and called me to see if I could find the lost 2nd key.
    Color on my 2025 and the color code for reference. Bear in mind and question cost of removal of wrap/film amd how long!
