Thanks!
With the crazy prices shops are charging now, getting it painted might be cheaper lol
Got quoted $350 for my roof, but I could get it painted for $500 by a quality shop...
Only thing is commiting to the color, that being said, gloss wraps have more texture to them plus bc its technically plastic/rubber it’ll attract more dust, bc of the texture its slightly more effort to clean
Also its vinyl so if something somewhat sharp gets snagged or rubs up against it, bye bye wrap

Yeah I hear what you’re saying. I actually got in touch with a body shop but they said they can only paint it gloss, but I’d like matte tho. The prices that they are charging are outrageous! Got quoted by a shop the other day for $900 to wrap my interior trim!! Like I’m really going to invest that much money into a ten year old car?!!

$900!?!?! Yeah wrap shops are waaaaay to expensive for what they do, material is the same at worst only increased a little, as for the labor they’re charging more than $40 an hour at that rate...
As for getting the matte finish, I highly doubt its impossible and you could find another shop to do it with that finish, hell even save some labor by taking it out yourself (I can help with that, I remember we went to the lirspy kreme bimmerfest caravan and you said you were close to my area), or before you drop any money on it, its worth a try sand and paint it yourself first, you could even pick uo a used set of trim for under $150 if you don’t wanna use your own

still looking or no? If you are, I live in LA and can wrap your entire interior for pretty cheap.

How much are you looking to spend? With brushed material you're likely looking at no less than $300 from anyone who can solidly wrap
