If you’ve been looking at getting a custom design on your vehicle, you’ve probably come across a few different options, the most popular being car wraps and custom paint jobs. Making the choice to get one or the other can be difficult, so here’s a few comparisons which should help you make the right decision.
Affordability
For a single vehicle, having a custom paint job applied to a car can cost anywhere between $3,000-$10,000. A professionally installed car wrap, using premium materials, can cost a fraction of this, and with a life expectancy of 4 to 10 years, they offer a perfect means to boost your visibility at a much lower price.
Resale value
Business is good, and you’re ready to upgrade to a bigger or better car or van. But first you have a problem: you painted your car, and now resale will be a nightmare. With a car wrap, maintaining the integrity of the original manufacturer’s paint will ensure you’re maximizing the value of your car. A car wrap is even easier to remove than it is to install, and will leave your car looking as good as the day it was applied, allowing you to get the maximum back when you’re ready to upgrade.
Speed and ease
If you’re looking at getting a custom paint job for a vehicle, one thing many people forget to consider is how long this takes – up to two weeks for intricate details! This lack of transportation can be a real nuisance. A car, van, or truck wrap can have your vehicle completely transformed and back on the road in just half that time!
Easy upkeep
Waxing, washing, and buffing a car can be a time consuming and draining task. Vehicle wraps are easy to clean: just give it a wipe down with soapy water and it will look as good as new!
Protection from the elements
Chips, dings, scratches, and scrapes can damage the factory paint, leaving a car looking unprofessional. With a vehicle vinyl wrap, a thick coating of vinyl up to 3mm acts as a weatherproof guard and a shield against sun damage.
