Wrap or paint spoiler?
Hi guys! Is it better to wrap or paint small jobs like spoilers, trims etc? Does wrappings take high pressure car wash well?

None
I just wrapped my spoiler myself a few weeks ago. Quite happy with the results. I like that I can change the colour and redo anytime in the future. I would recommend it.
I haven't been through a high pressure wash, but don't imagine it would have any issue. The adhesives for vinyl wrap seem pretty strong.

Depends on if you're controlling the pressure wash or not and how powerful the pressure washer is. In general, it's not advisable because if the pressure washer is aimed at the edge, you have a potential for lifting on the film. After all, pressure washer can damage paint if not used properly.... thin piece of vinyl stands no chance.
