matte black?

[girlonfire]

so this summer im thinking of matte black vinyl wrapping 03 SR5 my self for fun. i did a lot of research on matte black, some cost around 3 to 5k for professional job with different coat and uv layer stuff like that and they are not even around the bay area.

i seem this person did it himself for his BMW M3 cost around 150 for supplies. I am in love with Matte Black cars i want it black murder out!

Im thinking of getting supplies from this site. What do you guys think?

That is a HUGE task you are taking on, the video makes it look easy but they are professionals and have had a lot of practice.

Take lots of pics or vid!

good luck!

Seriously, this is really tough to do. A friend got his company car wrapped, and brought it to a place to have it done. The company let us watch them put it on for a bit, and even the professionals who do it for a living screw up and have to reprint and redo. Bottom line, it may look easy, but its really tough to do.

Doing the Matte Black

New here, but I have been thinking about matte black for a while. I need a new paint job, so I am getting a full one stage matte black job next week. I'll post pics when it is done.

There's a thread over in the 5th gen area (with pics) of someone that did this. Very Road Warrior look to it

Matte black makes your truck looks less classy! Especially the newer trucks!

I just had to replace a door and fender on my 2nd Gen and decided to test out a rolled on paint job using Rustoleum satin black. I like the looks of it. I say, use satin black instead of matte black. Gives it a silkier look.

Id say take it to a paint shop and have them do it... the vinyl is a pain in the ass and if you mess up then what ? waste more money to try again or have it done right the first time? .. SEM makes a hot rod black its about $80 a kit and for the truck youd probably need 3-4 but its a satin black not matte it has uv protectant and holds up well
