Repsray, vinyl wrap or polish?
My car is the one you see in the photos.
The color is 904 (midnight blue) . It is afflicted with spiders, stone chips, and scratches.
I decided to do something about this situation but I want your opinion:
1. The quotes for a full respray I got are at about 1800$, amount that is beyond my budget.
2. The option of repairing minor damage and "refresh color" will reach 800$
3. The third option is the vinyl wrap solution. I m very keen on that because of the fresh look. Cost about 1200$
What would you do to an 11 year old car that you do not intend to sell, which actually is turned into a project car?
I also want your opinion on the color change. If I choose respray I think of trying another color (blue again) for example Capri blue. And what do you think about resale value of a freshly painted car and what about a car with a color condition as described above.

I drive the racism out of BadDebt. ;)
Pick up a Porter Cable, Menzerna Power finish and a selant....spend a day playing around....you're keeping the car...so might aswell learn to keep it looking flawless.
OE paint always has better resale value then a respray.
