I got what I was looking for, and Ive decided that even though it would pretty much look sick, im gonna stay gloss. thanks for the advice guys!! <3

damn bro your car looks sexy as **** (assuming that's it in your signature). great choice of wheels to match with the color and all IMO.

That was probably due to the poor quality of the vinyl used. If you use high quality vinyl, it will come off with no residue.

This guy's car was done with flat black vinyl. Not matte but flat so it kind of gives you an idea on what the other shades of no gloss will look like. Looks great if done right.
