Default Matte Vinyl Wrap

Has anybody done one of those black vinyl wraps for their car? I'm thinking it would be cheaper than respraying it. Anyone know an approximate cost of vinyl wrapping my EF would be or know anyone in Sydney? Cheers.

I saw a Benz done in matt black yesterday, and it looked woofull

personaly though (and this is just my personal take) I dont like matt on any thing newer than 1970

Not sure on complete cost but i know a bonnet costs about $300.
Carbon Demon does some good work.
Not a huge fan a matte black. It's been done to death and is on the way out. Your car really needs to have some nice clean lines for it to look good otherwise it just makes your car look 'ghetto'.

you would be looking at a few thousand. most signwriters should be able to do it though some are better than others.

As a signwriter myself & have done a few wraps, I would not view a full wrap as a long term option. I would give them around 2-3 years before some sections like hard corners wold start to fail & have to be replaced.

If you want it to last a while, pay the extra & paint it
