Don’t Paint Your Car, Tape It!
August 8, 2008
Normally when you get bored with the colour of your car or it needs repainting, you would send it to a paint shop where it could take weeks, thousands of ringgit and no guarantee that you’ll get back everything as it was, except with a different colour of course. That’s what you and I would do, but when a BMW 335Ci owner in Munich Germany got bored of his black coupe, he sent it to be wrapped in white tape. Two days later he drove home in his refreshed “Alpine White” coupe, coupled with an M3 lookalike black roof.
Apparently the German military has been using the process for some time now. The idea is also popular with race teams and taxi companies where a continuous change of colour is part of business and respraying the car could prove to be very costly. Available in a wide choice of colours, the tape is thick enough to protect the paint underneath from stone chips and other scratches. It can also be left adhered to the surface of your car for 3-4 years without damage. Peeling off is not a problem either as the tape is able to withstand an automatic car wash.

Like the blurdy door dings you get at the supermarket car park and stuff…
tats really nice…
how long it can stand???
I doubt it would cost RM1000 unless its cheap sticker. Mind you a high quality 1 metre length by 1 feet width good quality vinyl will cost about RM30 already.
p/s : jz only 1 sticker branded can found this sticker…
at Pandan Indah have done this since last year. Not just the plain sticker, u can even decorate ur car to get better look.
The cost is quite expensive and nearly same with the cost of new paint.
But the good thing here is, it can be done within one day. It doesnt affect ur original paint. So by the time u want to sell ur car, u can remove the sticker, and the ori paint still there.
for how long the sticker will last i’m not really sure.
but i saw they doing this on several car, flat black, champion white n etc.
flat black or champion white…whole car…how much it will cost?let me know asap yah!
