so doing the wrap, if you would take it off, would there be any problems with orig paint..

 

I don't think so. It would be like just removing a decal. Difference is that all the paint was covered, so there are no faded spots like when removing a really old decal.

 

Yea, I would imagine a wrap would easily collect dirt in between the paint and the vinyl and slowly peel back...

I really want to my white crew to be flat white... Wonder how messed up it would look if I didn't have the door jams and under hood (unseen spots) left gloss? Think it would save me on the long run?

Also isn't matte and flat basically the same thing?

 

I want to do my truck a gun metal grey instead of flat black then powder coat my wheels black. I think that would look sick. I hate following trends I would rather do my own thing.

 

Flat has zero shine to the finish.
Matte is the same as a semi-gloss.

I've seen 1 or 2 people on here, and from what I can remember they've both been Matte black. Rarely I have I seen a complete flat (and when I do it's usually a 16year old pizza driver with a Civic and a gift card from Home Depot... )

 

Wrap your truck like that:

 

I follow... Thanks man...

I feel you on being different... But, to me and around here matte white is different... matte gray would be absolutely awesome... Wonder how a blue would look?

I am out on vinyl if my truck was an asphalt queen I would hesitate but I use my truck and don't want a reason to not go off road... I'm thinking it wouldn't require a tear down to paint matte white on the outside only and wouldn't be too hard on my wallet or difficult to take back to factory... Cause custom paint hurts trade-in or selling unless you find the right buyer...

 

I agree in that 2 years would just not be long enough. Why does the gloss last longer? I have heard from folks who had it that it actually works as a great paint protector. Good luck Ray and keep us posted.

 

I wouldn't do a wrap though I would get it all painted. I saw a pair of oakley sun glasses that were the color I would want my truck to look like. I would leave the saleen grille, vents, and rear tail gate cover black and then do the rest in the gun metal grey color. I think it would look sick and I have never seen it done before. Then when I re-do my seats and interior I will have a nice contrasting color to work with. I'm just worried about how the paint will hold up with no clear and how hard it is going to be to keep her clean.

This is the exact color that I want! Tell me what yall think

the shop quoted me $1600 plus taxes with a 5 year warranty

 

Yeah i would be looking for atleast 5 years, paint might be an option.

gun metal would look pretty sick with black wheels

Thats a good hunk of change there, i wonder how much it would be to linex your 2 tone

 

Your truck would be one off.... Definitely do it!!!

 

What's the place called in Florida?
I'm down in Miami and am interested in the satin black look.

 

If your serious about doing this, you should haven it painted flat/matte black instead of using a massive sticker.

 

any idea what it would cost to wrap just the bumpers? im thinking i want a change with my truck and the possiblity of black bumpers is there if its just wrapped
