Why?

1. Wraps don't seem to wear particularly well whereas paint will remain brand spanking new looking if you take care of it. A worn vinyl wrap looks much worse than old paint.

2. A wrap is often tempting to select a wild color or graphic combination that looks good for a few months and then kind of looks obnoxious. You become "that guy in the [U]insert crazy color here[/U] car". If the car was a race car or a Lambo, the wild colors or graphics might work, but often not for a street car.

3. The rest of the car remains the original color so when someone gets in the car they see the door interior or rocker panel and say, "Oh, your car is actually insert original color here." The impressiveness of your wrap was just lost. Completely lost.

At the end of the day, its your car and your money, do whatever you think is best.
