Hey guys, would like to ask you all about car wrapping service in Malaysia . I seldom see workshop providing wrapping services , mostly from Johor. I wanna chng my car's color. Wondering shud I go for CAR WRAPPING or PAINTING ? The price for wrapping is about 1.8k and painting I haven't survey it. Whole car for Gen2 . Any suggestion ?


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

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 tongue.gif 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 biggrin.gif
*
Full 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... sad.gif 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.

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..!

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..

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.

Last for maximum 5 years ? Oh no.. then I have to reconsider adi.. I seldom park at shaded places one.. always under hot sun.. GG!

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 biggrin.gif 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.. rclxms.gif 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.

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 biggrin.gif 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

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