Should I get my car painted or wrapped ?
So my car is still looking good paint wise just small scratches here and there but nothing to noticeable, I’ve been thinking about getting it Matte white but I’ve been told about it being way easier and cheaper to get it wrapped than overall painted, the way I look at it, correct me if I’m wrong but I see it like putting a sticker on a car it will eventually peel and all that, I’m not sure how long wrap lasts on a car I hear it needs to be replaced every so often but is it overall better to go thru that process or just get it painted completely

A vinyl wrap is the medium of choice for vehicle advertising because it costs much less than a custom paint job, and it offers significantly more design and finish options than paint. But with prices so reasonable, wraps are now becoming the preferred method of “repainting” for private vehicle owners, as well

small scratches happen. You live with it. Paint can be touched up and you won't see the marks. It is not like YOU are perfect. That is the way I look at my car (I am not perfect so it kind of matches) Besides less chance of it being stolen.

Get the existing paint touched up and professionally polished by someone who knows what he is doing. That will be cheaper than a respray or wrap and won't adversely affect the value of your car.

A good paint job is $1000 or more, so you have to weigh that cost to the overall value of the car, then compare that to taking the car to a detail shop for touchups or getting a specific vinyl wrap or protective poly products for your car. Anytime you use a vinyl wrap or poly scuff item you have to worry about trapped moisture and eventual fading/replacement. Had a friend who used a hood anti-chip poly shield, but it yellowed over time. They make colored poly products that might be available to you.
Personally, I'd hesitate to paint a newer vehicle because there is zero value in doing it just for minor cosmetics.
