You guys ever hear of flat clear? I guess it's sprayed over regular paint for that matte look.

I like the wrap because it's reversible same as plasti dip.

Just make sure u find a place that knows what they're doing so it doesn't come out looking like crap. I saw a lot of nice wrap jobs on vehicles at sema. Although I did see a lot a crappy wraps as well. I would go the semi gloss clear coat route myself, but I'm also in the business :-P

wrap it don't paint it matte. Wrapping will give you better resale and avoids the negatives that come with paining in matte. Matte paint is easily damaged by bird droppings or someone that tries applying wax to it
