Also, unless the car is garaged, those vinyl wraps only have a shelf life of about 2 years on any surface that's in direct sunlight.

Really, that's not what I've heard/read. I've heard most can get 4-7 years out of wraps. Maybe those are garaged cars though?

Everyone i talked to about it told me just 1-2 years for non garaged vehicles on surfaces such as the hood, roof and deck lid. Especially the hood. Double especially if the hood doesn't have any heat shielding underneath, such as aftermarket hoods (which mine is). After that you can expect fading. My plan was to do a Carbon Fiber wrap and then spray it with clear.

My car is already Satin Black, but it's painted via SEM's Hot Rod Black single stage. But i two-toned it....Satin black base with a Gloss black top (hood, roof pillar, deck lid). But the Gloss black has cancer now. Sherwin Williams gave me the gloss black/clear for free so i can't complain.
