What gives it away as being a wrap? I would have guessed it was just a cheap $1K paint job.

That’s a reasonably well done (in terms of consistency) matte finish. An actual matte finish job that good is at least $7-12K. Cheap $1K paint jobs don’t look like that. There’s also a couple hints when they open the door.

Most non-factory matte paint jobs are actually wraps these days.

Or rather, it’s matte look. There is a gloss on top of the matte that is characteristic of a lower end vinyl wrap. If you go to a shop that does wraps and you look at a sample of the wrap material of that type, you’ll see it. It’s pretty distinctive.
