Booked in for a Wrap

PurpleMonkey · 04-22-2010, 08:32 AM

booked my e90 in for vinyl wrapping, having her done in full matt black on the 17th of may.

Before the wrapping im fitting a carbon fibre bonnett & Boot lid which are also being wrapped so the whole car is matt black

BMW style 260 alloys should be landing next week

errrr why bother with c/f and then wrap it????

MEGA · 04-22-2010, 08:40 AM

Hmm. Not sure. Matt black is a little done to death now imo.. I'd opt for Alpine white personally..

It will certainly stand out though

So all respect to you..

This forum is a little bit "Mods are for chavs, and we is a sales rep" kind of a place

So you might get some negative responses to this topic. Just a warning

I can only assume you are talking about yourself......???

I think he sells himself on the weekends only Chris.

Because these wraps never look as glossy and the real deal, I think matt or satin black works the best.

No but i will have a look, being thinking about having it wrapped for a while, was thinking of having it white but after visitin the company that are doing it & seeing a subaru in matt black & there photoshoot pics of a matt black m3 they had done, decided Matt black was what i want

craig2859 · 04-22-2010, 09:25 AM

what sort of price are you looking at for this - did you get a decent deal.

I'll be interested to see the results - before and after.

I saw one a few months ago in Camden Market - and it looked very nice in the flesh, pics don't do it Justice.

Would love to see some pics of this actually being done in the workshop aswell

True though. When you see a matte blacker you expect to see something epic. It's standout and mean for a reason.

To OP this is not a slate, just my opinion as always.

chrisbin · 04-22-2010, 09:49 AM

I saw a matt black X5 the other week, with black wheels etc and even my 10 year old son agreed it looked rubbish.....

But each to their own. World would be boring if we all liked the same thing....

Jay_Jay · 04-22-2010, 11:04 AM

Looking forward to seeing the results

KadeSdad · 04-22-2010, 11:16 AM

Each to his own mate, you go for it!

It's good to be individual and not to follow the crowd (or sales reps

)

im booked in for satin black on the 5th

fitzgeme · 04-22-2010, 01:39 PM

Personally I think matt black looks totally utterly crap, each to their own I suppose.

toxicnerve · 04-22-2010, 02:47 PM

I like the matt black look, probably wouldn't do it to my own car...but I think it looks great on the cars I have seen it on.

PurpleMonkey · 04-22-2010, 03:29 PM

yeah im not 100% sure i want matt black, but my car is black & the paintwork is looking a bit old, lots of swirls, so was thinking of having it detailed, but dont know where to get it done near me, so have decided vinyl wrapping.

The colour i should have it is a bit of a pickle for me, was thinking white at first but with the natural paint colour of the car being black if the wrapp was damaged the black under the white would show through, with the matt black it wont look as bad as its black

any colour suggestion welcome, pics would help

jimmylimmy · 04-22-2010, 07:10 PM

I look forward to seeing the results

I wouldnt worry too much about damaging the vinyl if you chose another colour other than black, its an easier repair than paint

I personally wouldnt go for matte black with black wheels, if you want black, go for

Satin Black

Matte Grey
