vinyl wrap

Car surface film

A vinyl wrap is a large adhesive film applied to a vehicle's exterior to change its appearance without repainting.

Wraps come in various colors, finishes, and textures—matte, glossy, metallic, or printed with custom designs.

They protect the original paint and can be removed: I'm thinking about getting a vinyl wrap instead of a new paint job.

The technique extends to boats, furniture, and architectural surfaces.
