Plastidip vs Vinyl Wrap vs Normal Spray

[sp0rky]

Hi guys. I am considering to change my car colour to matte white.. There are so many options so I am unsure which is better?

I do not park in sheltered carparks. I wash car myself once every 1 or 2 week...

Please advise on the affordability of each option and which one is easier to maintain.. Thanks!

Spray better but more ex than wrap
Wrap doesnt last, afterall its a sticker
After 1-2 yrs u will see here one hole there one hole
Need to go back patch up but will look abit ugly after patched

Not much shops doing it
Wrap is the trend now

I plastidip my car rims diy, not that tough. Just need to be patient and do a few coats.

Haven't tried ripping it off yet though but it did survive those power sprays at car wash. Just need to let it settle down for a few days.

Plastidip gives a a rough surface not sure if u wanna have a rough car.

Spray -
Paint work no protection.
If job not well done, have to spend $ to rectify.
Have to maintain on a regular basis of do a PPS.

Vinyl -
Protect the paint work.
If there is adhesive used, it can affect the paint work which will be not shown until removal.

Plastidip -
Protects the paint work. No adhesive is used thus safer.

Of course spray will have the best appearance.

My choice will be Plastidip.

That's somewhat true. Those I come across usually do parts like emblem. I guess it depends on what you want and the cost involved. Like I said earlier, if spray, I have to do maintenance. If vinyl, I am concern if I remove it, will the adhesive cause havoc to the original paint.

Agreed... depends on what is your budget, preference and how long more to end of COE.

In FB, came across a wrap shop in JB , offered plastic dip whole sedan car at RM1000. Matt colors only.

plastidip can only last up to 3-4yrs?

That's a good price.

If I get a new ride again, I am very likely to plastidip the bonnet which is where most of the stone chips are.

checked with one "workshop" who does plastidip
the cost almost the same as spraying
got some advice from freelancer as well that many workshops do not do a proper dip, as in they will do minimal coats, end up difficult to tear off later, do more coats = more $$ but thinker and easier to peel off
they also cannot guarantee the color effect even if you show them pics, and they have no sample, you had better confirm the mixture, amount of pearls, number of coats, etc yourself to achieve the color you want
