I know matte finish is becoming more popular. Hell, even the Mercedes SL has it. But I prefer the shine after I wax my car. I saw a Matte Black SL at the auto show and my buddy remarked it looked like primer. I agreed, but to each his own.

If you don't mind me asking, what is the going rate to have a whole car wrapped these days?

GSTony: If you wrap it - I'm driving out to check it out. And yes, also curious on the price to wrap the car.

I personally don't think Matte Orange would look good on a 4GS.

Matte White or Silver would probably look better!

last i checked, here in socal it's around 3k to wrap a car

for color? matte orange might look pretty cool on the fsport i think. matte black is old school, matte white is pretty neat though it seems like you want more pop

A buddy of mine got his GTR wrapped in matte purple for around 2,500. They said the color means a lot in price quotes because if you want a special color, it'll definitely cost more. Black and white are the cheapest.

I would imagine garage kept vs outside all the time would affect the life expectancy.

I started this same thread in the SC430 forum...so below is the link. I'm posting it here because it shows some different cars with different color wraps on them. I personally love the BMW wrapped in satin black...it reminds me of the bat mobile!
