dunno how I missed this thread.
Ya Ive done a few wraps for customers, if your going to do a matte wrap I would highly suggest using the 3m ScotchPrint film, its the easiest to work, looks the best, and is made for exterior automotive applications which means it will hold up better over time than most graphics/lettering vinyl which turns to crap when on the road/sun/rain for a while. They make it black/white/olive green/silver, tho the silver doesnt reflect much and just looks gray, honestly.

its called air-release film, and its really not the good looking, up close it has a funky orange-peel texture, thats why its mostly used for the large print graphics when you see whole buses wrapped in an advertisement.

honestly, your car looks better than that satin black one. Go with satin white or 2 tone - black and white
How durable is that wrap? I'm assuming your car is a Daily Driver....

Its a 4 yr warranty, and yes its a DD. Thats a matte black paint job, so its a little different.
The white tends to "yellow" too quickly for me. Plus Im going black and red inside, so white wouldnt go.
What about the silver?
