Flat Gray
I REALLY like the look of this colour. The closest I have seen is DOCAAM's Matt Silver, which is slightly lighter.
Has anyone seen this available in a 3M wrap, or would I have to go with paint to achieve this colour? I like the idea of a wrap so that after a year or two I can go back to black. On that note, how long can a person expect to get out of a Full Body 3M Vinly Wrap? What do you guys think about this colour for a Z?

My car is a DD, and I'm totally happy with the performance.
Every mod from here on in, is going to be visual. Did you like the colour?

If I have to paint the car, I will clear bra the entire car. If I can Wrap it, I don't need a clear bra.

We have a satin finish film by Xpel and another by Prestige called Satin Guard that will make the paint look matte. It will also protect the factory paint from rock damage... but it will not change the color you already have. Cost for wrapping vehicle in the states to do it right will run you around $3500-4500 depending on the vehicle. Some are harder than others and require more material/labor so the price can fluctuate.

That's slightly darker then what I HAD. Go for 3m silver it's just perfect shade.
Some people are using Oracal normal shinny wrap then a clear matte wrap also from Oracal. That case you have more colour options and pricing is slightly higher as matte roll is very cheap |

I had my roof vinyl'd gloss black and it's held for nealy a two years as my daily driver. As long as you take care of it like you would any other surface it should hold up pretty well. Worst case if your bumper or mirrors start to peel off from daily driving you can just get those areas re-wrapped again. |

I've got the Matte Black TE37's, I'd maybe get them PC'ed Gloss Black if I went Matte Gray, what do you think?

I also helped wash a friends car when he had a matte wrapped roof and it was the same thing. |
