Pete Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I was in London over the weekend and amazed to see loads of really high spec Matt black cars around. There was a big pimp type Range Rover, Bentley, BMW 3 series in the showroom of Park Lane, BMW 6 Series amongst others. They were generating a lot of interest but I have to say the streaky wash marks were quite apparent. I think I prefer shiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themodifiedkid Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Does seem to be getting more popular. But imo only certain cars are able to pull it off though. When on the right car does look the business. As said martini's pic of the porshe looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbryant_knight Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Why Wrap a car to protect the paint though? I mean, with a wrap on you can't even see the original paint? (Unless you use the Ventureshield clear wrap) I think the only cars that look good matt are military vehicles like a jeep and american muscle cars like the Matt black dodge charger that's in our club.
