Reniassance Red is not really red, so I don't like that color as much as an actual "REAL RED", like on the IS300.

Oracal vinyl has several red colors to wrap your car with. It has a custom laminate already applied that acts like a clear coat. I bet a 60"h x 25 yard roll will be around $600-800 wholesale. Just throwing it out there in case you don't have $3,000+ for a good paint job.

Does the vinyl look just as good as an actual paint job?

Looks pretty good to me.
Didn't know the car was wrapped until my friend bought it and I got a closer look.

i wish mine was red too. i had a red 400 but it was a piece of **** so i sold it. i was putting way to much money fixing it up. now i have a black 300 thats in better shape but i rather it be red. wish someone would trade with me, color changes are too expensive lol. at least when theyre done right. i hate to see the outside of a car one color then open the door and the door jams are another color
