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.

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.
