Vehicle Wraps Vs. Paint: The Advantages of Wrapping Your Car

At Wrap Guys America, we understand the advantages of wrapping your car with a full vehicle wrap far outweigh the benefits of a custom paint job. Vehicle wraps offer a wide range of benefits that paint cannot offer, especially in the long term. That is why we offer a wide range of vehicle wrap services that are designed to help keep your car looking pristine for years to come.

The Advantages of Vinyl Vehicle Wraps

There are many different advantages to wrapping your car with a vinyl vehicle wrap that a custom paint job cannot offer, including:

1. Cost and Installation

While vehicle wraps may not always cost less than custom paint jobs, as prices change from shop to shop, vehicle wraps end up being a much better investment in the long run. This is because vinyl vehicle wraps are designed to last for years on end, while paint jobs only remain pristine until getting scratched. Vehicle wrap installation also takes less time than having your car repainted. While custom paint jobs can take up to two weeks, car wrap installations only take two to three days to complete.

2. Durability

Vehicle wraps are designed to be extremely durable, as they are laminated to offer protection from UV rays, chips, and scratches. This means that your vehicle will be better protected against most types of abrasions from all natural hazards and weathering, including prolonged sun exposure.

3. Little to No Maintenance

One of the best advantages to wrapping your car is that vehicle wraps require little to no maintenance. Since car wraps do not require waxing, you can simply wash it with soap and water to keep it looking brand new for years to come; however, it is important to make sure that you wash your wrapped vehicle by hand, as power washing can list the vinyl along the edges.

4. Resale Value

Custom paint jobs can often decrease the value of a car, especially if the car is painted in an untraditional color. The best way to get around this problem, if you are thinking about changing the color of your car, is to have it wrapped with a vinyl vehicle wrap instead. Wrapping your car can help preserve the original paint color, as the wrap can be removed at any given time without damaging the car. This can also help increase the value of the car as the original paint job is maintained.
