Matte black wrap my NSX

I'm wrapping my black gloss paint NSX matte black. I plan to only leave the mirrors, fin and cut out side breathers on the door gloss.
Attached are some pics thus far. Not gonna lie, I'm not really feeling it yet. It seems the more I cover the glossy paint, the more the sleekness goes away. :/

IMO, matte black would go better with a really aggressive wide body. here is an example..

Yea. Your probably rite. I do wraps for a living so I had to try the matte black on mine. Let's see what it looks like when complete :) I'll post pics tonight
 
It's a lot of work to make your car look like its in need off a quailty paint job:confused:

Any tips pointers are sections to watch out for? I've heard you can't do the front bumper in one piece but need to make cuts. Did you make any cuts and if so where did you put the seams?

Anyways I think it looks good.
 
Here ya go. A few more pics :)
I really like it now. It's a mixture of black gloss paint, matte black and silver carbon fiber paint.
I'll post completion pics tomorrow!

Use a good heat gun. Not a blow dryer. Try to get two people to help you so you can have the vinyl pulled in all directions while you apply heat and squeegee... Get 15 yards of 60" 3m vinyl and make sure you have felt tipped squeegees!
You can get all this for @ $700 from someone you know that is willing to hook you up at cost that does wraps.
Id be glad to ship it all to you if need be.
It really looks so much better in person. I'm going to take some nice pics tomorrow
 
Here ya go! Finished product ;) YouTube united alliance car wrap matte black and see video

You can do it all in one piece.

I like it but not sure of the random spots a different color. I think it breaks up the lines of the car to much..

Matte looks good though!
 
I like!!
I'm planning on doing my car in satin silver, have you done any on that finish ? I
would like to see it if you have!!

Have seen the Satin Silver done. If people do not know better they think its just a primer. I am having the same comments on the orange widebody. People think its primer..
 
Yea. The silver isn't so hot. The black actually looks more like a dark charcole but I really like the finished product now.
So, do you think I should remove the silver carbon fiber on the top roof area and side above the door handles? Should I leave that gloss black paint or wrap it matte black???

Wrap it matte black Mark :biggrin:
 
Go all Matte Black and get some gunmetal wheels, that would be badass. I understand the reason for the logos but I'm not feelin' those at all. The one on the hood kinda reminds me of the Big Chicken on an old Trans-Am lol. Nice work, though---

Here is the final pic. I removed the silver carbon fiber from the top

do u have any pics that are bigger than a postage stamp? Lol

What other colors are available? I'm very interested in this even tho the GB is expired.... hit me up!
 
Nice wrap work! I like the look with the gloss black roof exposed.
One thing I would change is just remove the side reflectors all together.
Just lay the wrap over the entirely fenders and q-panels without them for a cleaner look.

Haha. I'm making the crest logo on the hood all black gloss with just the co name in red as we speak. I think it's gonna look sweet! You would be AMAZED at what thus car has done for my business. Just last nite alone I had 4 different people roll there windows down at red lights and ask @ it etc

Yea. I agree now that you guys have mentioned it. In doing it today. I'll post new pics
 
Here is a pic with the carbon fiber vinyl removed from the bottom. Should I leave it gloss or put matte black in place of the carbon fiber that was on the bottom? I'm pulling the carbon fiber off the door handles now as well as the matte black off the roof top so the entire top part of the car is gloss black paint and tint while the bottom is all matte.
Thoughts?
