So I had to un-dent my car and touch up on some scratches that I made last week.

I went to this area and there were so many spray painting shops! At first I went to one but the boss wasn't there. So I went to the shop opposite called

Victory Spray Painting Work
Address: No. 57, Jalan Wawasan 4/6, Bandar Baru Ampang, 68000, Ampang, Selangor, 68000 Ampang Jaya
Phone: 010-777 7353

and the boss was there. His name is Sonny and he's a one man show and I felt comfortable with him.

I showed him what I wanted done and he did it all no questions asked. It was easy. Dropped the car off in the morning and could collect it at the end of the day. And he didn't charge expensive. I thought it was reasonable.

He was old-ish but I prefer him to foreign workers because from what I could see, he did it himself. I don't want to see skilled workers lose jobs to unskilled workers. Please support him.

After few years, the sticker became faded.

My advice to you bro, consider my advice before wrapping your car.

There are things that the wrapping shop will not tell you. You will learn from real life experience.

Before you wrap, they will tell you fantastic thing about wrapping your car: protect your original paint.

Let me tell you: this is totally wrong, it did the opposite way, the wrapping sticker destroy your original car paint.

Just imagine, the sticker has strong grue under layer, you wrap ii on top of your original car paint, in Malaysia strong sun light and weather, what will the grue do? it will melt into your car paint. When you remove the sticker, your original car paint will peel off together with the sticker glue. So the paint protection myth is just a marketing tool.

I really regret wrapping.

Expensive. It is better get the car respray every few years = cheaper = look even better.

Side Note: wrapping is actually meant for temporarily purposes like road show, advertisement, photo shooting, difinately not for long term usage.

Thx for the advice. Some forumer did mention that every 3-5 years need to rewrap. I think that incur more cost because ripping and re wrapping requires more labor.

I thought branded ones like 3M or Oracle has better quality automotive glue. Maybe it does not apply to our hot weather.

Agree that repainting is cheaper but the cons is that it requires more maintenance, polish, wax and alot of elbow grease flex.gif

I used Oracle.

No matter 3M or Oracle = max 3 years.

Rewrap = your original paint will be gone, you either rewrap or respray. Rewarp in more expensive.

Maintenance for paint is easier in fact cause once the sticker start fading (after 1 year), there is nothing you can do about it. Not like paint, when fade, you can polish and wax to bring it back to life.

If you die die want a black roof = then spray it black or any color you like (my service adviser did ask me why I did not spray it black instead of sticker? I newbie to sticker that time thought it is cool).

Ya polish and wax could easily make it shine again. Don't think it can be done on stickers.

My white roof generates tons of watermark after rain cuz park outside most of the time. Don't have the energy and time to remove it every 1 or 2 weeks, the marks are so stubborn. Tried to kept water off the paint but its hard sometimes. Thts y wanted a black roof to make it less visible.

Guess have to ditch the idea of wrapping. biggrin.gif

Whats the market price for painting the roof thou?
