    I have a 2017 CMOR 4x4 in white. Considering getting it wrapped. Choices are either FDE (maybe a shade darker) or OD green (shade lighter than Toyota OEM OD). Anyone out there with a Tundra in these or similar colors? Just curious what it'll look like. Thanks.

    There is a guy on Reddit that wrapped his truck in Oracle (wrap brand) Bottle Green (wrap color):

    Before you go wrap look for a Raail AirWrap installer in your area. It is a sprayable coating superior to Plastidip but can be buffed like normal paint if it gets scratched; wraps cant be buffed. It will be cheaper and more durable than a wrap job. Even with an experienced wrapper you'll always have some issue with bubbles, lift points and scuffs, etc. When it is time to remove it peels off in sheets like a wrap.

    If you haven't had a vehicle wrapped, wraps tend to not last their advertised durability unless they are garage kept and meticulously cared for. The shortened lifetime depends on how much UV and pollution your truck is exposed to on a daily basis. You could feasibly get 3 to 5 years out of a wrap but you are likely to get ~18 months again depending on the care and environment. Some of the newer wrap products can extend the life but the surface is still fairly fragile and susceptible to blemishes from every day use.
