Why Is Vinyl the Best Option?

As you do further research into the world of DIY, you’ll discover that there’s never just one way of doing things. Another option to change the color of your furniture, walls and appliances is to paint them. Depending on the item, you can either use a can of paint and a brush or an aerosol paint can.

Unfortunately, using paint for these types of projects comes with several downsides:

Paint offers no protection: While you can use paint to change the color of most items in your house, it won’t protect the underlying surface. Paint can easily chip, break and scratch, meaning you’ll have to paint objects again in a few years.
Paint doesn’t come off: Unlike wraps, you can’t remove paint easily from a surface — unless you’ve got some serious chemicals handy. You can paint over a surface that you’ve already painted, but more layers usually lead to more chips and breaks in the paint. Wrapping is temporary — painting is not.
Paint is messier: Depending on the type of paint you use, it can cause a serious mess around the area you’re trying to cover. At best, you’ll have to use painter’s tape to protect certain areas. At worst, you’ll have to cover everything close with plastic wrap and open all the windows to get rid of the paint fumes.
You can’t use paint on windows or glass: No matter what paint you use, you can’t get the same effect on glass as you can with a vinyl wrap. Paint doesn’t offer any variations in opacity, so you can’t use it on your windows — unless you never want to look out of them again.
