5 Great Reasons to Vinyl Wrap Your Car Instead of Painting It

Tired of your current car? Want to shake things up? Rather than running to the dealership to buy a brand-new car, many folks decide to transform their vehicle’s appearance by either wrapping or painting it.

While both of these options are great ways to customize your car, there are some significant differences between vehicle wraps and paint jobs. Namely, wrapping your car is more affordable, longer lasting, and easier to personalize.

Want to learn if car wrapping is the best choice for you? Here are five reasons to vinyl wrap your vehicle instead of painting it.

1. More Affordable

When it comes to keeping more money in your bank account, wrapping your car is the way to go. Car wraps offer cost-effective customization. While a high-quality automotive paint job can cost as much as $10,000, a full color change wrap package from Alphawerks starts at just $4,000. This makes car wraps a great choice for financially-savvy individuals, as well as small business owners who want to save money on personalizing their fleet.

2. Endless Design Options

Want to design the car of your dreams? Car wrap customization options are almost limitless. You can choose from a wide variety of colors, patterns, textures, and designs. Whether you want a sleek matte black exterior or bold holographic effects, these can all be achieved with a vehicle wrap. You can also add logos, lettering, graphics, and images to further enhance the look of your ride.

Some automakers, like Tesla, offer a limited number of color options. In these cases, vinyl car wrap is the best way to get the color you want. Our technicians will offer guidance to help you pick the perfect color for your car.

3. Stealth Matte Finishes

Matte finishes are extremely hot right now. You might have noticed a sexy matte finish on a Mercedes parked in an upscale restaurant’s valet lot. If you want to achieve that same stealth look on your car, a paint job alone won’t cut it. Luckily, wrapping your car can.

As we mentioned before, vinyl wrap is available in a wide array of colors and textures, including lustrous matte finishes. Your car will stand out from the crowd, and you’ll feel like a celebrity when you’re behind the wheel.

4. Increased Resale Value 

When the time comes to trade in or sell your car, quality car wrap ensures you get more money for your vehicle than paint ever will. Many buyers crave cars that still have the original manufacturer’s paint. It’s even better when that paint is in good condition. Surprisingly, basic car colors are far more valuable than exotic ones.

With an automotive wrap, you can transform the look of your car without compromising its paint. Better yet, vehicle wrap also preserves the paint’s integrity. That’s because car wrap protects your car paint from chips, scrapes, and even fading from exposure to UV rays.

Do you lease instead of own? If so, you’re expected to return the vehicle to the dealership in the same condition you received it in. That means you cannot change the look of your vehicle with a custom paint job. A car wrap is a smart way to personalize your ride without losing money. When your lease is up, you can get the wrap professionally removed. Wrapping your car also protects the paint. When you drop the vehicle off at the dealership, it will look as good as when you first picked it up.

5. Long-Lasting Quality and Paint Protection

A quality car wrap will last for years. At Alphawerks, we stand behind our work with a minimum two-year warranty. However, our wraps often last much longer than that.

Vehicle wraps will also protect your paint. As we mentioned earlier, car wraps can prevent chips, scrapes, and fading. Your car will look just as good when you take the wrap off as the day you first put it on.
