MATT BLACK
« on: 05 January 2010, 04:06 »
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?

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

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

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 . .

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?
