Hi guys,
I have seen this in www.avus-performance.com (German car's tuner). They offer this "matt black" finish on their car. They have done it on a TTRS & it looks real mean. Cost is Euro 2,000. Can anybody tell me what is this "matt black" finish & is it some sort of vinyl coating on it? Maintenance wise, is it a pain?
Appreciate very much for your input & have a nice day to you all!

Looking at the website I think it is a vinyl wrap. Especially when you look at the cost. As for maintenance I don't know. IMO I think it looks awful.

It is vinyl wrap and it does look awful. Why would you want to spend £2000 making your car look like a blackboard?

'cos it's what the cool kids are doing :wink:

They get the matt finish by adjusting the amount and type of lacquer the put on to car after the final paint is applied

matt black is huge in LA, i saw matt black lambos, bently and Rolls Phantom. IMO such a waste :(
-
I can think of so many better things to spend £2k on but if you like the finish then go for it. Each to their own and all that, I think its horid . .

Matt black? :sick:
How long would you car sit in a street before some joker got the chalk out and drew naughts and crosses on your bonnet? :laugh:

i like the vinyl wrap but in small amounts, and certain colour cars there are a few mk5's ive seen that have had the roof done etc and look :cool:

+1 for black roof or bonnet etc, or for advertising. Or even for paint protection with clear vinyl. Having a matt black car is a bit like having black wheels - to make it a bit different.

matt black will be the "bling colour" this year like the white was b4. it aint no black board- think more stealth bomber and you're there. it aint for normal cars, only fast motors. check out the audi rs5 -leeked pics which are pretty cool imo. i think it only works in certain cars. a ferrari 430 may look a bit faeces i think, so would a golf.
i bet in the future the "in " colour is aluminium...

Is just the "in thing" at the moment & don't know how long it will last. I posted this because I was just being curious. Best is just stick to what ever colours they offer & choose one you fancy. Yes, this matt black colour would only suit certain cars. For 2,000 Euro, I think is better off saving the $ for something else.

I absolutely hate matt black paint on a car. :sick:

'in thing'? It's been done for years.
