Tired of your car’s look? There are ways to freshen it up! Two ways, actually; car wrapping or spray painting. Both come with their own set of pros and cons and it’s best to be aware of them before you can make a final decision. Whether you are looking to amp up your car’s look before you sell car in Dubai, or just looking to upgrade the exterior of your used car for your own purposes, CarSwitch brings you the lowdown to help you make an informed decision.
Car Wrapping – Pros and Cons
Car wrapping involves wrapping up the car in vinyl that resembles paint or a colored plastic foil. While it’s easy and fast to install, taking only a few hours or few days, it’s never a solution for cracked paint. The good thing is, there are plenty of choices because it comes in several varieties not just a single color, including wild graphics, special effects, and matte finish, among others.
Perhaps the biggest advantage of car wrapping is that it preserves the original paint. That means when it’s time to sell car in Dubai, UAE, you can easily take the wrapping off, revealing the shiny car underneath, automatically raising its value.
However, don’t mistake it as the solution for cracked paint or rust. In fact, wrapping by an inexperienced person could actually result in scratched paint or worsen the rust situation. Then again, if you are planning to use your car for advertising a business or service, there is no better option than wrapping.
Spray Painting – Pros and Cons
Spray painting is a time-consuming process. Stripping the old paint and preparing the bodywork takes a few days. Then, before the car can be polished, it needs to dry in special conditions which again takes a couple of days. Not to mention, it’s much more costly than a wrapping job. On the bright side, though, once the car is spray painted, the surface will look as good as new and if the paint is prepared right, it can also keep the rust away.
Ultimately, if you are looking to sell car in Dubai and want to increase its value, painting is a more suitable option not only for a potential sale but also in the long run. In the short-run, wrapping can be a more exciting option if you are just looking to change the exterior or use your car as a traveling billboard.
