Vinyl wrapping my entire car in Matte white

[popejp41]

I was thinking about wrapping the entire car in a Matte white with some matte black accents, I want to lower the car and put the Eurotech CF lip and some Turbine style AMG wheels on it, has anyone ever seen that that color? what your opinions on this? if someone can find photos let me know.

DO IT! cheap alternative to painting and if you dont like it, pull it off. ive seen a bimmer is that color that was wrapped looks sick! you'd be the first thats for sure!

i was going to do this as well... different colors.... but everyone else in the shop told me that.... its going to be a absolute nightmare taking the vinyl off...

I have had to remove vinyl decals before and sometimes it comes off in very little pieces and leaves glue everywhere.... So, do i want to risk the finish on my near perfect car... and take possably quite a few hours or days removing all of it??? I Dont know...

I've thought about doing the same, except in matte black.

The pros use satin clear. A quick grey scotchbrite of all panels, mask, and shoot. Not too costly. Often used on show cars.

I've seen pics of the vinyl and way too many edges to peel is day-to-day use so probably a waste of money.

Nor sure if the satin clear will polish back to high gloss.

lol at the cheap alternative comment.

I asked about this at SEMA as this company that was doing demo on a F430 doing complete vinyl cover up on how much it would cost. They said basic single color job would usually be around $2000-3000 depending on what type of car and the difficulties.

this is when I wish we're in Asia or Europe where it can be done at half the price.

good vinyl such as Avery products or 3M goes on in one piece and comes off in one piece. glue residue are minimal on those. my friend had the matte black roof vinyl using Avery vinyl for a year and 3 month and the vinyl came off completely clean and left no residue.

i have been doing some asking in Germany, where all Taxi(s) are vinyl wrapped, runs about 1500-2000 euro on average. was interested myself, on matte blk, but seems like there are few that want to do the same, so i might choose a different matte color to go wit.

here is a link for those in Germany

I've seen their clear bras before, and a few of their advertisment ones done and looked quite good but I have not seen the entire car done in a different color.

I think vinyl wrapping is a great idea
but I'm not so sure if matt white will look good.
IMO I think it make your car like you only sprayed primer.

I'd go for matt black or dark grey. just off inspirations of an US ATF
