^^ Agreed!
matte black wrap is a good way to make your nice car look worthless.. only very few cars can pull it off and still look good imo.

i've seen supercars that looked like kit cars after a crappy wrap, but i've also seen cars that were completely changed by it, so it depends on what car its going on.Generally,newer cars are going to pul it off much easier than older cars.

I want matte red. Unfortunately, it would fade into matte pink...which wouldn't look as good.

matte wrap. make an ugly car, uglier.
if you don't own a supercar, you can't pull it off.
its like Brad Pit's messy haircut. good looking guy bad hairdo. still looks good.
a hot pr0nstar. you can cover her in cow shit and you'd still want to fuck her.
Civics and Cavaliers need not apply. don't fool yourself. you can say shit about how its your car and how original you are, but its still looks like shit.

What's a good brand for wraps, I see 3m, hexis, and oracal from eBay. I heard oracal stuff is bad. What's about the others? I'm planning to get some gloss black to make my car 2tone

$400 for material? that's bullshit. Where did you get your vinyl from?
my cousin wrapped his Toyota Previa in Matte White, $50 for the vinyl (ordered it online, probably made in China vinyl, but the quality is great), $25 for the tools, $35 for the heat gun.

There's 2 kinds of cars that can pull it off..old school muscle cars and some newer high end exotics. Even then, it's pretty played out.

Hexis offers a large variety of color choices. I just looked through my sample set, and I don't see one that is exactly Pearl White. There are a few that are similar to Pearl white. Have a look at their color chart on site, or if you have any questions, you can PM me.
