looks great!

F1Bobby · 11-05-2009, 01:14 PM

That's is pretty cool! Well done!

RW C55 · 11-05-2009, 01:23 PM

Wonder how much it'd cost to do the whole car.. There're lots of matted cars in vancouver lately, (white db9, black r8, cl63 and lots more) and they're looking gorgeous. Didnt think it'd look good on our cars until i saw ur photos.

That is *** sick Gary!!!!!

02C32guy · 11-05-2009, 01:59 PM

Looks great. Thanks for posting pictures. I've been wondering how it would look on a black one.

AlanG · 11-05-2009, 04:13 PM

Looks great! Is there any extra maintenance involved with vinyl or you treat it as if it was regular paint?

1qikctr · 11-05-2009, 07:34 PM

Looks great! too bad my car is all the way in west coast.

SUPR C · 11-05-2009, 07:58 PM

Looks amazing.

C32AMGSC · 11-05-2009, 08:01 PM

Plain sick!

How much it cost you man?

advans · 11-05-2009, 11:50 PM

Thanks guys!

I'm just thinking if I should matte out the whole car.
The Matte Black E36 //M3 I'm working on is basically... a quick detailer and wipe down. Matte black vinyl is the easiest to clean. no need to "wash" the car!

I'll be posting more pics of my matte projects up!

what?

madC55 · 11-06-2009, 02:43 PM

Looks nice, have always wondered what that would look like. I have a peweter C55 so it'd be much more a contrast....anyone have pics of what it'd look like on my color car?

ZAHANMA · 11-06-2009, 02:52 PM

Very Impressive.

I think my SRT6 would look pretty amazing in flat black.

How much for teh roof matte? I'm very curious.

aho · 11-06-2009, 03:15 PM

That looks awesome, I love the two tone look. IMO just leave it how it is and done matte the entire car, just my $.02. Great job Advans!

C32AMGSC · 11-06-2009, 04:23 PM

Advans, I assume you purposely did not put vinyl on the trunk. I think it'll look good if you matte that portion too.

how much? for those of us that could get to your shop....ball park$$$???

advans · 11-07-2009, 02:51 AM

Thanks guys!

Since I'm not a sponsor here, I'm not selling anything!
I can forward you guys through PMs, with the shops info.

advans · 11-07-2009, 02:57 AM

Currently, the shop doesn't offer any custom colors yet.
I did a pricing calculation, as per hourly rate and at hours, wrapping a FULL car, say, a E46 coupe, would cost about $3500 (that's just MY estimate)

I didn't vinyl the trunk top mainly because it'd look weird on eye level. it'd only look good in photos!
