Default Matte black vinyl recommendations?

I'm hoping to wrap my hood with a matte black vinyl. Anyone have any suggestions or had a good experience purchasing it from a reputable eBay store? Thanks!

Thanks for the link, but I'm trying to go for a solid matte black instead of carbon fiber.

Anyone know what size wrap would be good to wrap the interior pieces?

as long as it's by 3M, you'll never go wrong with them.

Have you seen a black car with a matte black roof? It actually doesn't look too good.
Kinda like the roof was sanded down or never clear coated lol. Just my opinion though

What about a black car with a matte black hood? I'm not planning to wrap the roof.

I think it looks kinda strange with just the hood...either that or the wrap job look weird to me. Maybe if I could see better pictures of the entire car, I would think differently. I like matte look though.

Quick thread jack, how would a SGM look with a matte or gloss back roof or hood?
