Flat Gray
 
1 Attachment(s)
I REALLY like the look of this colour. The closest I have seen is DOCAAM's Matt Silver, which is slightly lighter.

Has anyone seen this available in a 3M wrap, or would I have to go with paint to achieve this colour?

I like the idea of a wrap so that after a year or two I can go back to black. On that note, how long can a person expect to get out of a Full Body 3M Vinly Wrap?

What do you guys think about this colour for a Z?

My car is a DD, and I'm totally happy with the performance.

Every mod from here on in, is going to be visual.

Did you like the colour?

I think the color and the Porsche both look sick! :tup:

A darker flat gray, like the 40th Gray, would look even better IMO.

actually a vinyl wrap has a great side effect to protect paint. :tup: so not only is it a cosmetic mod, it's also a full car bra perfect for dd's.

EXACTLY!

If I have to paint the car, I will clear bra the entire car.

If I can Wrap it, I don't need a clear bra.

That's slightly darker then what I HAD. Go for 3m silver it's just perfect shade.

Some people are using Oracal normal shinny wrap then a clear matte wrap also from Oracal. That case you have more colour options and pricing is slightly higher as matte roll is very cheap

I think it would look fantastic

I believe it would look nice. Need a nice pair of shoes to go with it.

+1

I had my roof vinyl'd gloss black and it's held for nealy a two years as my daily driver. As long as you take care of it like you would any other surface it should hold up pretty well.

Worst case if your bumper or mirrors start to peel off from daily driving you can just get those areas re-wrapped again.

For vinyl wrap, do you wash the car as you would normally or do you have to take some special precautions?

I can normally wash/dry/use quick detailer for my glossy finish.

I also helped wash a friends car when he had a matte wrapped roof and it was the same thing.

I've got the Matte Black TE37's, I'd maybe get them PC'ed Gloss Black if I went Matte Gray, what do you think?:ughdance:

Gunzero 06-22-2011 03:12 PM

if you have the money then yes do it! the color is nice, but matte black is nicer
