I've been waiting for the matte look 'to fade'. I suppose this is the next craze. Not impressed. What a waste of several thousand dollars.

What do you think of the latest look in vehicle wraps?
|
I could do that. Just for the last week of October. Then it would have to come off.

HaHaHaHaHa..... this explains why I like it..... after 40 years of marriage it's what I am comfortable with. All I know now is the weathered look!
(I am lucky my wife doesn't look at this site)

Whoa .... thousands of dollars. Yeah, I enjoy the look, but not for that kind of money.

Yes, wrapping a car will cost $2,000 - $4,000. Quite cheap when compared to an equivalent custom paint job but still expensive enough that its not something that you'd do every 6 months just for fun.

this seems a bit high to me... I know more than a few people in the Chicagoland area that will do it for 1-2k on a boxster. I was thinking about wrapping mine matte grey a while back so I was shopping around and the most expensive quote I got was 2k

Like paint, wrap prices span quite a wide range. I was quoting a high-end custom graphics wrap like the ones in the photos.

My car already has real racing patina - no need to fake it.
