Car respray/wrap cost

Featured Replies

Hi All, 

I would quite like to change the colour of my tiger cat. I had initially thought about a respray, but then though potentially a wrap could also work and be cheaper. 
 

Has anyone had there tiger(or other kit) wrapped before? If so was it expensive?

or how do able is it? 

George, My GBS zero is currently in for a full respray. Initially I wanted it wrapping mainly down to cost the bodyshop talked to me in depth about the pros and cons of wrapping v painting and I decided Paint was the way to go. Wrapping is probably less than half the price but a decent paint job will last 3-4 times longer than a wrap. Paint will always look better if you can find the money go for paint I'm sure if you wrap it now you will end up painting it in a couple of years so just take the plunge !

@LeicJim3aThat’s really helpful thank you! Would you be open to sharing how much roughly you were quoted for the full respray? If you aren’t happy to share that’s absolutely fine! Just thought it is worth asking, or if you just don’t want to post it on here, you can always message me privately!

Depends on how much needs painting. I had the 4 arches and nosecone on my 2B wrapped in 3M vinyl for around £200 including the material. It was probably 7 years ago and still looks pretty good.

Ok it can't be touched in like paint but I think it's a good option on fibreglass which does flex and crack.
