No, wrapping the whole car will cost more.

I looked into wrapping, and it's the same as a complete/full respray - if it had been cheaper that's what I'd be planning on doing on the mustang due to the paint issues it has.

The grandson bought one out in Texas and he had problems with the paint.
Known to be very thin, they said come back in 6 months and it will be fixed under warranty.
He chopped that one in for the bigger engine one. First one was black, the new one is white. He had that ceramic coating put on the first one to help the paintwork.

Small steps. Tidying wiring and getting gauges sorted. Will need to replace them as not weathered well, protective film has bonded itself to the dial face. 
Fresh RON98 added as ran dry. Starts on the button now, what a lovely noise!

Little update.
Front jacking points wire wheeled, degreased and Bill Hamber Hydrate 80 applied. Looks so much better and not as bad as it looked before. Requires a plate both sides to reinforce the area that does beg a question as to why it was designed as a water trap!
Front suspension legs cleaned, painted and refitted along with fresh fixings.
Both driveshafts rebuilt with new cv joints and boots.
Braking system refreshed and bled with RBF600.
Prepping to get the cover on for winter.
