Personally, I'd give it a go.
If you were going to try wrapping yourself then buy a small test piece of vinyl, clean the panel, stick it on and see what you think.
 
The Land rover body is pretty much flat panels so should be easy enough to do. I applied satin black vinyl to the window frames of my P38 Range Rover as the paint finish had gone all grey and that still looks great 2 years later.

If you were thinking of using a professional company for the wrap, I suspect they will say no, we can't apply onto primer and guarantee the results. If it all peels off a year down the line and you then try to claim they didn't do it properly it could get difficult for them.

Personally - as your problem seems to be not enough time, I’d apply the old 80/20 rule - You get 80% of the benefit for 20% of the effort, it’s the last 20% that’s takes 80% of the time. So a perfect job is going to require time in sanding down again, maybe some bodywork repairs, undercoating, then masking all off, then painting. Days of work which you don’t have apparently.

Alternatively spend a few hours sanding down, another hour or so masking then just paint it, mainly flat panels, easy job. Result it looks 80% better than it does now with little effort. OK it’s not the job you were hoping for but by the sound of it that’s a bit of a dream for the immediate future??

I remember seeing a lightweight wrapped in some kind of camo style (not the usual Black and Green and not DPM either) at an LATP many years ago. No idea what it cost, and no pictures either sadly - but it looked rather good.

.... hmmmm

I wonder if they do chequer plate wrap


 

be careful what you wish for!

re wrap, I can envisage a mess not too far down the line, think shrink wrapped electrolytic bubbling powder mess
