  • Car wraps and paint jobs have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice depends on individual preferences and needs. The biggest reason to get a car wrap is to protect the original paint. Car wraps are not meant to replace a professional paint job. The main factors to consider when deciding are as follows:

    1. Customization: Car wraps offer more customization in regards to colors, patterns, textures and finishes. Paint jobs tend to have less orange peel and offer superior reflections.

    2. Cost: Car wraps are generally more cost-effective than paint jobs. While the price can vary depending on the complexity of the design, car wraps are often cheaper than a high-quality paint job. Additionally, car wraps can be removed without any damage to the original paint, allowing for easier changes or restoration.

    3. Protection: Car wraps act as a protective layer, shielding the original paint from minor scratches, UV rays, and road debris. Paint on its own is fragile and requires on other products such as clear coat.

    4. Durability: High-quality paint jobs are generally more durable than car wraps. They can withstand exposure to the elements, such as sun, rain, and temperature fluctuations, without fading or peeling. Car wraps, although designed to be durable, may show signs of wear and tear over time, especially if exposed to harsh conditions.

    5. Resale value: Nothing is more valuable than the original paint from the manufacturer.

  • If cared for properly, a wrap can last between 4 to 6 years. Refer to our after care section for more information.
