Firstly, I think the cost of repainting is more than $300-400, as long as we're speaking the same language (talking about a repaint and new clear on full bumper at a reputable shop that can replicate a color such as SO) - second, the cost of PPF on the "front clip" (bumper, hood, fenders, headlights, mirrors), is about $1700-2k at most reputable install shops, depending on your area. I personally went with full car wrap in XPEL ultimate, which ran just under 5k - while, I don't think it gives you back full 5k worth of resale value down the line, but the paint will without a doubt look many times better in 10 years - obviously I'm biased, but I also I don't intend on selling it, so the peace of mind is great. I personally would recommend at least getting the bumper/hood/fenders wrapped, if you keep the car any amount of time more than a 3 year lease, seems worth it to me. The roads around here also suck. I hear you on it being a tough call if you're not intending to keep the car for an extensive period of time, but if so, I think it's a no brainer for a brand new car. |
