Car wrap black ZL1 to white or red

So I bought a used black ZL1 back in June, after an accident with my previous SS. When I got it I thought black on black was the best color scheme for a Camaro. But like many other people, I realized keeping it clean is difficult and black shows EVERYTHING (I hate swirls). So I'm now considering getting a gloss vehicle wrap to change to either a red/black scheme or white/black scheme (see below). I do have some questions though in reference to vehicle wraps though since I've never had one done before.

1. How long do they last and towards the end of their lifetime is it very noticeable that the wrap needs to be removed/redone?

2. What should I expect in cost for a good wrap?

3. Is cleaning any different then with the original paint?

That's an option too. How long would the full body protective film last?

Or trade my CRT for your Black! Lol! I should have bought a black Z not a big fan of the CRT.
On a different not I believe Xpel paint protection has a 10 year warranty, could be mistaken though.

No less then if you wrap with a different colour

I like white, but if you are considering a full correction and clear wrap done by a pro, black is the best color all the way, its classy and mean.
