One of the biggest proponents is because of the paintisdead network enthusiasts not understanding it is a community who is promoting the vinyl wrap product versus the latter thought of the community trying to be.
Is vinyl wrap better than plasti dip.
Paint is the question.
The upside is that a dip can be repaired because it adheres to itself very nicely.
Vinyl wraps can be custom colored and printed to add just about any design to just about any part of the exterior of a vehicle.
Autoflex is not a vinyl wrap.
Many garages and individuals can offer a full plasti dip job for as little as 250.
The vinyl has been known to crack in extreme temperatures.
I did a metallic blue and it looks amazing.
The main advantage that a dip has compared to the wrap is the cost.
Both a vinyl wrap and plasti dip will be less expensive than a conventional paint job which explains why they are the two options most commonly compared.
A custom designed vinyl wrap can be used for more than just one vehicle it can be duplicated for an entire fleet.
It s not exactly plasti dip or any other removable coating products we love covering our cars in either.
Plasti dip also has the capability of fading in the extreme heat or if mud gets on the plasti dip and or if bird poo lands on the vehicle.
If anyone is seriously deciding between a five figure paint job and a vinyl wrap or plasti dip they ve already decided money is not a factor and will lean toward the paint job anyway.
But it sure is pretty.
Yes i said bird poo.
The vinyl is stronger and can up hold the daily use of the vehicle a little better than plasti dip.
If you scratch a wrap the entire body panel will need to be redone.
It s definitely not paint.
