Here's my opinion...

If you get it painted it's once and done. It'll match the car, and with proper care will last a long time. You're in San Diego... I'm SoCal, too... so that sun...

Now... if you get it wrapped it may be less costly, up front. However, you may not get a perfect match. Maybe you could go a deviated color. That said, and from what I've read... you must have that wrap pulled no later than ~three years or it begins to REALLY stick (Read: stays stuck, becomes harder to remove with each passing day), and could affect the paint, whatever color may be underneath. That's why I would never consider wrapping my car... that constant re-wrap.

If it were me I'd keep my eye out for a top. Lapis Blue may be a hard color to come by, so maybe snap up that next great deal... and have it painted.

Good luck.
