Why to Foil your Car Instead of Painting it
Wrapping a car in foil is an affordable and effective way to give it a new lease of life. Not only is a foil wrap significantly cheaper than a new paint job, it also looks really cool. If you’re still not convinced, here are some more reasons why you should foil your car instead of painting it.

Your new foil wrap will protect the original paintwork, keeping it looking as good as new. This will add a lot of value to your car when you are ready to sell it. Remember, the new colour that you choice for your car might not be popular among people who are looking to purchase your car. In this case you can simply whip off the foil cover and the original manufacturer’s paintwork will be revealed.

Foil wraps come in a wide range of different colours and styles and there are literally hundreds of digitally created designs available. This means that you can transform your car in any way you choose and the design of your dreams might be just one simply step away. With foil wraps, the only limits are your own imagination.
Time to Install

Protection
With a foil wrap every inch of your car will be fully protected from the elements. The original paintwork on the body of your car will be able to age naturally underneath the foil wrap and will not suffer from the effects of the sun, wind and rain. The paintwork will also be protected from stone chips and other day to day driving hazards.
Ease of Maintenance
Let’s face it, constantly waxing, polishing and cleaning your car can be a real pain. Foil wraps are extremely easy to maintain and mean that you can say goodbye to waxing your car forever. Simply hand wash the foil wrap with soap and water from time to time and you are good to go.
Long Lasting Effect
Most foil wraps last from between five and eight years and can be safely and quickly removed whenever required. Keep your car in your garage when you are not using it to keep the foil wrap in perfect condition for longer.
