Thinking of matte black wrap... Thoughts?
 

So I have just about had it with the soft stock paint, and really like the matte black cars that I have seen. Anyone have personal experience with a complete vinyl wrap? How long does it last? How does one wash/protect it? I'm open to any opinions too just trying to think it through before I drop all of that money.

I like the matte black look. Can't really give you tips on a the wrap being that I have never done it. I know there are a couple of pictures floating around with a Z that has been completely wrapped. Maybe the owner can give you some more insight.

Wrap material is becoming more readily abundant and more advanced. Average life is 5-7 years.

Thanks for the replies, I guess one question that comes out of this is if the lifespan is 5-7 years what does it look like from year 4 to year 7 if that makes sense. I don't want to have to drop 2 grand every 3-4 years to keep it looking good...

I wouldn't do it. I think matte black is played out and everyone should stop doing it now. :)

Thats why I may wrap mine in a different color ;)

I say do what YOU like not what everyone else does. You just better like it enough to live off the bad comments you might get. The life correct me if im wrong bat is mostly based on fading and discoloration not the actual material? So it will still look better then a car with 4-5 years of paint damage IMO.

I would eventually like to wrap my car matte titanium or grayish. That to me looks sick!

As long as you take care of it it should last a good while :). We have roof overlays on cars for 3 plus years now, looking good still:).

I went to a local shop here and he has satin black from Oracal vinyl supposed to be good quality and wanted to do my car in satin black as part sponsorship, I didnt felt like it at that time but now im thinking :) it might look good, specially when i will have the amuse kit on by December

Nooooo Solid Red is soo hot!

thats exactly I told those guys, but the cost was same as cost of clear bra so now thinking why not get it done for a year or so :tup:
