Default Wrapped my wifes H3 today :)

My wife got a H3 Alpha for Christmas and I wrapped it today, original color is Graphite Metallic and I decided to wrap it matte graphite metallic with matte black roof and matte black in the cents back of the hood.

Decided to wrap it to protect from gravel and crap we have on the streets over here in the wintertime. Last H3 she had I just put clear vinyl on selected areas and the paint on the doors got totally ruined so now I wrapped the whole thing.
Now I have some bushwhackers laying around that I need to install before I get the big tire for it this spring

Thanks, i like the graphite, if it was mine I would have gone with camo or nato green but the wife probably wouldn't be too happy driving the kids arround in it

Just curious on how much did that cost and how long did it take them to wrap it?

I have a vehicle wrap company in Sweden specialized in high end cars, boats, airplains and other specialty jobs.
I don't know the pricing on something like this in the states but over here we charge $2500-3000 usd. The job takes abpot two days, I did it in about 13 hours with some help from a collegue.

This one looks reallly good ithe sunlight since it is matte and metallic, otherwise the mate greys have a tendancy to look like primer

So what would be the main advantages/disadvantages of doing a wrap instead of custom paint job?
I know paint jobs like this could cost between 2500-3K USD, so just wondering because I never though of wrapping the vehicle..but now...
Thanks!

Looks nice! I thought I was the only one wrapping my Hummer on here. What material did you use? I work for MACtac and I know we make that color.
Here is mine wrapped a couple times.
