Most motorists who want to update the look of their car have a choice between paint and a special film. SSPDaily told about the difference between these two methods.
Durability
Car wrapping guarantees additional protection for the car paint and can withstand such negative factors as exposure to the sun, road debris, and weather conditions. On the other hand, automotive paint chips and fades over time, requiring refinishing and repainting to maintain its appearance.
Cost
Wrapping a car is more cost-effective. Usually, the film is installed faster and requires less effort than repainting the car. In addition, it allows you to make your car design unique without the high costs that can be associated with painting.
Appearance
Automotive coatings offer a wide range of colors and finishes, including matte, glossy, and metallic, which allows you to create a unique look that is not easily achieved with conventional paint. In addition, car wraps are easy to remove, allowing you to change the look of your vehicle more often.
Maintenance
Car wrapping requires minimal maintenance compared to painting. It is easy to clean and protects against daily scratches and minor damage. In contrast, paint requires frequent waxing and polishing to maintain its shine and level of protection.
