I wouldn't pay more than $100 IMO, wraps are cheap nowadays and it'll take you less than two hours. Just get a heat gun, razor and squeegee and have some fun wrapping random things around the house, practice makes perfect.

True! DIY is the cheapest way! It also takes skills / practice though!

That's painted or wrapped? Looks good as well.

Mine are painted. I never even thought of the wrap until I say this thread.

I asked a company that does wrapping about doing my calipers but they just quoted me on painting them. They paint them for $250, is this a good price? I would wrap them but I worry that the wrap won't last long and that it will look weird quickly.
