What's annoying is people hyping up these "cheap" Slate trucks because they don't realize they don't even paint the fucking things so you're replacing a $3k wrap every three years and calling yourself frugal and environment friendly.
The wraps are dirt cheap. They start at $500 for a basic color.
And you don’t have to do anything at all to them. You could leave them with the base coat. They’re a composite panel so it wont rust or degrade.
They’re one I’ve priced out is a gloss purple wrap and that’s $670.
The whole point of the slate is getting as bare bones as possible and being able to do it all yourself. That’s the selling point.
You don't have to wrap it if you don't want to
Yes, you do, because wraps are the default "paint"
The default body they ship if you don't pick up a wrap will degrade over time and cost you even more if you like that "ugly gray plastic" look.
Ah ok it looks like you're right. I thought I'd seen a video where they said they designed the panels to be able to withstand the elements. Full wraps start at $500 though.
