The most important factor that determines the cost of pasting a car is the type of protection that the car owner chooses. There are such types of anti-gravity film on the market:
- vinyl;
- polyurethane.
Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages.
The vinyl film does not pass ultraviolet rays, due to which the pasted areas of the body may differ in color after a while from the unprotected ones. Also, vinyl is afraid of frost and becomes brittle at low temperatures. The main advantage of this type is the price. It is 3-4 times cheaper than polyurethane film.
Polyurethane passes the sun's rays and the car body will not differ from the parts covered with film even after many years. Also, this type is more wear-resistant compared to vinyl: it can withstand both low and high temperatures, does not crack.
The car can be pasted completely or use a pattern for the bumper of the car
or only the doors. Covering individual parts (which are more susceptible to damage) with protection can significantly reduce the cost of the procedure compared to full pasting.
Also, the car model plays a significant role in determining the price. For example, to paste over the body of a Nissan Juke car, you need to disassemble the body almost completely. At the same time, cars such as Shkoda Fabia, Hyundai Gets can be covered with protection without difficulty and with less time.
In addition to anti-gravity films, decorative films and advertising films are also distinguished. The first ones are used, as a rule, for tuning the car and are colored, glossy, matte, with an individual design, the second ones are used for advertising the company.
Professionals recommend pasting a new car from the interior (as long as there are no scratches, dust, cracks).
