Some areas are easy to do, especially with large sections of available wrap, but large areas can prove... challenging.
Which wrap were you looking at? $200 seems like a really good deal. Cheapest roll i could find would set me back about $500 with tax.

I thought about that, too. Given my schedule it could be done in a week and, as already mentioned, might require driving the car partially wrapped for a while.

very nice... now some small finishing touches it will look even better. This post about vinyl wraps brought me to a questions.
What would you guys think about a black vinyl wrapped roof for my slate blue sitting on the sport wheels it has? will it look sketchy? ... I've noticed a lot of hard water spots on the roof and I am thinking about blacking it out. Anyone have any pics of a slate with blacked out roof?

Automotive vinyl will last anywhere from 3-7 years when exposed to the elements (i.e. non-garaged), depending on the type.
Some are also designed so it can still be easily removed after 3-5 years of the same kind of exposure. Other brands will require a release, while others clean-up after the vinyl is removed (due to residue).
Overall, your paint should remain intact that entire time, so it's like putting the existing paint condition in suspended animation.
I've been thinking about doing this for a while, but every shop i've been to wanted upwards of $3k for the whole car.

Pretty good deals on clearbra film though, like 60 bucks for the entire bumper & hood w/ squeegee & apllicator. I might use Dr paintchip then try this stuff.
