Looks like a really nice shade of red docaam!

+1 on curiosity regarding why you didn't just remove the vinyl?

Vinyl was damaged from the front bumper because of a hit, this happened while car was in a workshop so they in return offered to fix it with a FREE paint job which later turned into a full respray in a different shade. I actually dont like that much the stock red shade as tends to get darker in the evening. That was the reason to go for a vinyl.

The vinyl I had is not available in Dubai needs to be ordered from US, as I was no mood to invest further, paint job worked out cheaper for me.

Are you happy with the outcome? If so, I'm pleased for you! I'm guessing they are not paying for the full respray though?

Anyways, I'm glad to hear they are a stand up shop, and are taking care of it.

Not sure if I posted, what exactly happened was I left the car at this workshop for some suspension work, and when I came to pic it up after a day the front bumper had two cracks and number plate was a bit bended, the owner of the place also saw when I pointed that out. To fix that 3m wrap was supposed to be ordered and some fiberglass job was needed. Then they offered me a free respray and fixing rather then ordering a new bumper and vinyl roll from US which costs a bit more. They prefer to compensate by their labour rather then spending money on parts and shipping.

As a courtesy I bought some paint parts like clear coat cans etc. I am very happy with the outcome it hurts a bit that I couldnt keep the wrap for a bit longer as initial plan was to keep till end of the year but I am happy with the outcome.
