It is slightly more expensive, but have you considered wrapping?

Spraying a car different color is a very worrying sign when you decide to sell the car off.

Vinyl wrapping? More expensive by around how much?

I did not know spraying it a different color would affect selling it in the future. However its not gonna be like bright orange or something, just wanted a gray color like the original one but couldnt get hold of one. Thanks for the heads up tho!

This does not happen with all the people. But, some people if they see the car is in a different color compared to the original registration color during a 2nd hand purchase. They might get suspicious and think the car has been involved in a major accident and has been resprayed over.

I have heard of such arguments and there is no logic behind it. But, there are just such people in reality. You might need to have a good argument on why there is a color change on the car.

A full paint job for exterior and interior is also by far not cheap.

Vinyl wrapping prices highly depends on the quality of the wrap and also the workmanship. A real quality wrap is usually very expensive, in the regions of 5k and above with 3M wraps and those special texture or colors and partly also they do some minor detailing on the paint of the car to prep for a better wrapping job.

But, i have seen it as cheap as sub 3k if you are not really picky on the quality of the job. Sometimes there are worries of edges peeling or they cut corners by using half length wraps just to join some long or wide pieces which will result in seams

The good thing with wrap is that if you don't like the color, you can always change it. If you decide to sell the car, you can decide to peel it off. Also heard of some horror stories after peeling off the wrap.

So, each options does have some concerns. My 2 cents

Thanks for the info bro. Have you personally done any of the above?
