For some time now, Julie and I have been debating on whether we should repaint or wrap the exterior of our van.
Since we purchased the van used, it came with a few scrapes and dings that have started rusting over the past year so we've been discussing on how we should address it.
Should we spend an arm and a leg to have it repainted in a color of our choice? Should we roll the dice, rent a large bay and repaint it ourselves? Should we spend a kidney and an eye to wrap the whole thing? Should we just wrap certain touch up sections with a specific design to save money? Or should we snag some bed liner and spray it ourselves in the driveway before the weather gets too cold?
The last option had us thinking about weight because if we end up going that route we would inevitably be adding a few more lbs to or build. With that in mind we finally took the van to be weighed in order to see how many pounds we had left to work with. Sadly it wasn't as much as we had hoped...
