Car Wrap or respraying of the car?

[ahn]

Hi all, reviving this thread as I have a few questions about car wrap. I bought a 2nd hand car that has been wrapped since the car was registered 3 years back. Some parts of the wrap is scratched or bubbling and the handle area is slightly peeling. Do you guys know how much does it cost to remove the wrap? And which Workshop offers such services? If I intend to re wrap again, is there any particular LTA rule that dont allow certain finishing or colours? TIA!

Just to let you compare, I'm doing scirocco at $1700 before gst with Wrapstyle (from salesperson Ben). Getting this Cranberry color shift 😊

I'm a first time car owner (+female) so I'm not sure if I'm being shafted haha

Yah lah like everyone here says

Respray and then wrap.

This is the correct way to do it.

Come to my workshop for a good price.

All the wrap shop will help u to remove for u. Charges will depend on the workshop itself though. What I heard is those chrome colour not approved but still a lot ppl go ahead.

Anyone got tips on wrap maintenance? Like need to wash with a specific soap or something?

Just normal maintenance like using those pH neutral car shampoo will do. I have been using Meguiar’s Nxt car shampoo for many years.

Sorry for out of topic & i cant find any relevant forums, i recently reversed into someone's car at very slow speed. There is no dent but got scratch / scarring. I told the guy i pay him money settle but he insists to send to shop for repair. 

 

My question is, can simple polish fix this?

 the scratch looks bad too, I think a respray  is required.  But the car looks old or it could be the photo? Would he respray ot if this is an old car ?

I have never resprayed or touched up my car over the last 20+years but it didn't affect the performance of my car in any way😃😃.

The only one time I visited a workshop was to respray my side mirror because the mirror was defective, the replacement mirror I bought was in black, so I have to spend $50 to respray it.

Would you guys recommend wrapping on brand new car or do it after a few years?

Partial wrapping of just the roof and side mirrors to get the two toned style.

hi guys, if want to change car color. which is cheaper

1) Wrap or

2) Spray paint?

i am always skeptical when it comes to full car wrap whether that little blade will cut the car's original paint
