Added on February 26, 2012, 3:17 pmWhat about the maintenance of car wrapping ? Can I use ordinary car wash and polish on it ?

if u paint ur car inside and out should be around 2.2k-2.4k...

painting lower the second hand value of the car, While wrapping don't

I agree with what Shawnzz said. Painted my ex-exora white and when want to sell it, the dealer told me that once I spray it, the value of the car drop. Btw, my hilux is fully wrapped with carbon sticker and it cost me around rm600 only cause my cousin owns a sticker shop well, i kinda like it cause its the only car in my hometown which is fully wrap with carbon sticker & from far it looks like matte black

I really like matte black.is it same as wrapping?
I heard doing matte black cost rm 50-100 k for sportscar?
I saw a video on YouTube of this 458 italia matte black....fffuuuu damn nice yo.
I've been always want to ask about this matte thing...cuz is very unique

50k-100k? No lah. My friend wrap her Subaru Impreza wrx sti v.10 matte black in SG & it cost her around SGD 4k-5k. Another friend of mine wrap his accord it cost around rm6k.

Oh cuz I saw in the supercar thread someone post the new matte aventador and say it cost nearly rm 100k.
So matte is not a paint rite?

Below 2.5k I guess I still can afford.. Thanks for the price as my guide.!

Added on February 26, 2012, 5:29 pmOic.. mind to explain why bro ? Im curious. Re-paint the car makes it looks new. Shouldn't lower the price in logic way. HAHA.. anyway gt idea why ? thanks for telling this.

Added on February 26, 2012, 5:37 pmFull wrapped you mentioned refers to full exterior body ? How much is that cost me ? RM600 for you then shud be 1.2k for me ? LOL... anyway.. can I have the contact number of your cousin's workshop ? Mind to intro ?

Other than tat , can u just simply wash it with normal car washer and polish thingy since it is carbon fibre sticker not paint. Guide me pls.

Yeap full body & for you the price should be around that. And forgot to mention that I'm from Sarawak. Sorry >.<'! I've been to the ar wash which the are using the machine & so far no problem. You can just do normal car wash & it will be good as new.

Wrapping is getting popular in Europe. Reason is simple: Especially when doing it to a new car you keep the paint in mint condition. Want to sell the car, tear it away and you get a brand new looking car. (if the buyer doesn't like the new color). Also you can buy a car with a conservative color that will get you a higher price than a more striking color, while you still get to enjoy any color you like.

Added on February 26, 2012, 5:59 pmI think the value drops cause why do you usually spray a car? Cause there was an accident. Accidents lower the value. At least that's my guess. And I'd guess that mostly applies to newer cars. A 10 year old car where the original paint is gone due to the sun but that was repainted shouldn't drop in value, I'd guess increase even.

Any more accurate pricing for both of the painting or wrapping?

Also any nice shop doing them?

And does the color of paint differs a lot from the price? Like Beige color compared with Black color.

These are my doubts too.. which shop is recommended ? If wrapping is money wise compared to painting I will go for wrapping lo..

Added on February 26, 2012, 6:56 pmOic.. that's the reason.. sounds logic..!

IMO, re-painting it will up the value compared to leaving it as it is now. But only if you pay for it out of pocket and not go through insurance. If ins pays for it, it is listed as an accident and that lowers the value of the car.

So what makes you guys think that repainting the car will lower the value of the car? If the dealer told u that, well he's making a profit from you.

Wrapping have to choose what kind of sticker also. You buy china-made sticker also ruin your car paint only when you plan to take it off..

Now 3M got brushed metal color also not bad. Few months ago i also wrap my car with matte black roof. 3M brand, so far so good.

But good sticker + good workmanship = $$$ ... just prepare..

hmz.. tat's interesting.. repainting the whole car makes value drop..

makes me think twice now.. m considering repainting my car

May I know how much did it cost u?

wad about respray the original colour of the car..drop the value as well?

Matte black does come with sticker and paint..the famous Iktikadraya matte black M5 is painted one if im not mistaken.

a good repainting + clear coat can last you years or a lifetime but rewrapping a car will only last u 3 years? max is 5 i believe thanks to the awesome sun in malaysia.

The 2nd hand salesman will find any problems with the car just to drop its value so he can earn more.

Hey bro , may I know ur ride is ? and the price for whole car exterior cost u ?

this seller provide vehicle wrapping services.

Wow I've never heard of wrapping before. Thought matte black was painted on cars.

I really wanted to see how carbon wrapping looks on ur hilux...post some pics bro...

RM500 with workmanship.

I only matte black the roof.. Not the whole body.. you wont wanna wrap a brand new lexus with sticker.. hahaha..

Why not? I see ppl wrap their whole gtr with Matte grey and green

Well, any stickers stick on GTR, It will look nice. Not all Lexus look good in sticker wrapping. Different category of car's also. If sport's car stick fancy sticker sure nice. Luxury car stick will be a bit weird..

Well, this is what i think la. My taste ma.. hehe..

Wrapping for roof only cost you 500$ ? Oh god.. I think it may out of my budget ? which shop u go for ? Getto ? haha... Ya.. if I owned a Lexus I won't wrap the whole car with sticker..

Added on February 27, 2012, 10:11 amHere is a good example of wat u said mate. http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/the...-pw-pro-uk.html

GTR in Satin Red.. Awesome wrapping!!!

This post has been edited by mysql2779: Feb 27 2012, 10:11 AM

sticker wrapping is not only limited to matte color u know

roof top rm500 for me is a bit expensive..

got clear sticker meh? i want to wrap my front la if got.. so many stones... even on the highway!

Im from Miri, Sarawak bro.. We stick at local shop here Pro-Shine. Their work are great.

i know.. my fren's GTR is using 3M Titanium Brushed Metal Dark Blue and now its so shiny under the sun.. Well, like i say, any sticker will work perfect with GTR's. haha..

You're from Miri too? No wonder the name StratOS is so familiar. Btw, I went to Pro-shine before to finish the parts on my car that my cousin havent wrap but the CF sticker is not the same as mine. So sad. From what i see the workmanship on my friend's car that they do is super nice. Blue GTR is looking goooooooood.

ewan8811 and StratOS found kaki here.. HAHA.. Getto quote me 3.4k for whole car.. OMG!!! Over budget MAX !! I can only afford 2k++

3.4k? I see. Why don't you do it one by one? For example, 1st do the roof then the hood after that go for whole car btw, just bought 100ft CF sticker. Decided to rewrap some parts on the car.

Bought 100FT CF stickers ?! U gonna DIY ? U must be skillful.. I can't do these hand works.. gambateh!

I think I will go for re-paint because of the sticker life time is too short den I expected. Around 5 years. Save money from now for repaint. Before June may be able achieve.

hmm actually diy is not very hard. unless gt many angle like bumper that need blower to blow. roof and bonnet is the simplest 1

Hey dude, sorry for the late reply. Decided to rewrap some parts on the car & this is how it looks like now.


Yeap! DIY with my cousin nahhh, I just wanna try something new. I'm not good in this kind of stuff either but after I finish wrap the car some random people come and told me that the work quality is good for 1st timer xD


True that! bumper is the hardest & that's why I only do half of my bumper. Gonna continue when I'm really free. Roof & hood is the best part everrrrrr

Damn!!that's pure awesomeness!Looking matte frm far as u've mentioned before.Nice match with those red's and chrome!

The car looks fantastic!!! Nice color.. I love matte colors~~~

Anyone know of any car wrappers in KL/PJ area?

Have you paint your car? I planning to change my car colour i want to compare the prices.

I would like to know too, I want to wrap my GTR in Matt Black
Neil

Motorsport Playground @ Sunway.
Quite a few Lotus, Porsche, Lamborghini goes there for wrap.
Would be between 3 to 5k depending on car.
Another one is AutoDetailer at Jaya One basement. They handle detailing for high end sport cars and also do wrapping.
They quote me RM 10k

Went to check on toms sticker when matte black just started to catch attention, certainly not cheap - was quoted RM3800, that was 2 years+ ago...and from what i understand, it is not easy to maintain, especially if hit by tiny stone,,could scar certain areas, especially front bumper, bonnet and lip area...worse is cannot repair...furthermore imo is suitable for certain color only....otherwise a nice paint should do a better job...as for repainted car being lower price when trade in...well..walk away then....there are certain paint job which cost up to RM5000....sometimes these ppl just wana reduce trade in amount - by hook or by crook...

Contact BRYAN 0164159056 , you can go to the page DESIGN IT YOURSELF STICKER to look for the car wrapping service , price is more more cheaper then shop lot thanks

Contact me for more info 0164159056

I would rather paint because I love a glossy / shining car.

Wrapping most of them are flat colours right?

Gen2 should cost around 1.8K also for interior and exterior painting with no added bonuses like glitter or pearl paint.

No la.

Matte, gloss, pearlescent all got.

Metallic, faux brushed steel or faux carbon fiber also got.

Dun go for chapalang brand other than 3M vinyl wrap.

wrapped mine in blue. would definitely recommend wrapping over painting

actual matte paints not cheap. meserati new car if u were to spray matte colour top up another 60k tq. lol.. car wrapping if u do 3m it would cost u 4-5k. taiwan material 2k plus oni. my cars is gonna do matte aluminium brush finishing... rough texture. oni 2.8k.

i saw a few cars that wrap with stickers, after a while the sticker will peel off

if cats (or jealous people) use their nails to do some "signature" on your wrapping, is the sticker will damage or not? bird's dropping summore?

bro.. ur car with G1M?? passing by Citibank Ampang today?

i think u saw another gtr. wasnt in ampang today. and yea g1m

Hi everyone,I was thinking to reprint my car also but I have a few considerations.here is my situation,I bought the car(waja)from my relative,the geran stated that the car is in blue color,in fact, the car is in dark green color and my relative confirm that they never repaint the car.now I wanted to change to black color.do I need to change my geran also(I mean the color).anyone can advise me?

how to maintain the car in wrapping? on top of regular car wash, how do we deal with tar which stick on the car body ?

getto in seri kembangan also can. about rm4k. very good quality.

Hello.. Wondering, will the sticky stuff stick on the body after removed the sticker?

Planning to put gloss black vinyl on my car hood, but got advise from the sticker guy not to do so... apparently it is easily scratched, he advise matte better.

But does vinyl wrap really spoil the ori paint? How true is this?

Also, then I thought of painting the hood to black paint after I saw this:

But dunno how reliable is this... like quite a cheap paint, dont know can last long or not. Any suggestions from the pros?

i also plan to wrap my front car hood with matte vinyl.. i think getto do the job great..

hi there, may i know where is ur cousin sticker shop, would like to do wrap for my car with carbon.

may i know which wrapping paper is consider good quality?
exp like 3M.........bla bla bla?

How much it cost now?

how they know its painting?

Reputable car shops will offer a few different brands of wraps

The most popular brands are

3M
Oracal
Arlon

Quality among these brands are quite similar, the biggest difference are shades of color they offer and patterns.

Bear in mind even within the brands, there are different series of wraps. Some are meant for indoors usage while others are meant for outdoors. And then there are the China or Korean wraps which cost significantly less but are also a lot less durable.

Wrapping a whole car basically starts from as low as 1k (no brand paper) to 30 to 40k depending on type of car and type of wrap. Most mainstream C segment cars cost around the RM2500 to RM5000 depending on the type of paper and design.

For people who want to save money, they can buy the paper direct from the vendor (at the risk of buying fakes as well) and have the shop provide the workmanship for wrapping. The most expensive part about car wrapping is workmanship and labor.

the value of the car will drop after repainted even it looks newer because its not the original paint from the factory and the paint quality is often softer then the one that came out from the factory. Just like an aftermarket exhaust will lower down the value of your car eventhough it sounds better.
