Vinyl wraps are popular on the railways as it is cheaper than repainting. However I understand they are now discovering it also causes considerable corrosion underneath the vinyl.

I've been able to closely inspect a few vehicles that were vinyl wrapped. I don't like it. Great for advertising or crazy design for a laugh etc but I really didn't like it close up as a paint replacement.
