Personally, I wouldn't touch vinyl wrap. The finish is nowhere near as good as an average paint job. It lacks shine.
And as for the paintwork underneath - a buddy of mine back in Boulder, Colorado had his 6-month-old Dodge Neon SR-T wrapped in Candy Blue vinyl. A year later, when it was removed, the Pearl Black paint underneath had gone a sickly grey - most of the lacquer was stuck to the vinyl.
The leading edge of the hood, and front fenders were pretty bad - combination of highway stone chipping, and hot weather. In some spots, the bare metal was showing.
Every car I've had a color change on, it's been done properly - stripped, painted, oven baked and re-assembled.
