Matte vinyl wrap

Thinking of vinyl wrapping my car a matte black or dark grey. To anyone that has had matte vinyl before, how's the maintenance of it and does it still look good over time?


Thanks!

wraps are good for cars but have to have a great shop to do it, some spots do a. bad jobbed starts to peel. if done correctly last many years and maintains original paint pristine, im going to do a wrap 4 years in change the whole look of the car. matte black, red, navy blue are my favorite colors grey I haven't really seen. easy to maintain . when the job is good is when they take all pieces off the car and reassemble it after everything is wrapped. but make sure u research the place u take it to see reviews and what not

Awesome, thanks for the response. I'm actually going to do it myself. It's definitely going to be a challenge but I'm up for it. Rather know everything was done right no matter how long it takes in the end so when it comes the day to take off I'm not surprised by any hidden scratches on paint etc if done incorrectly.

Garage kept - OK, if its going to be out in the elements 24/7 go with traditional gloss. Bird etchings, sap, etc. are more unforgiving on matte and satin finishes.

If you are hell bent on doing it, look at the satin finishes, they look way better, more high class, and are a little easier on maintenance than full matte.
