That's horrible. It looks like barbeque grill paint that was applied with an aerosol can.
What many don't understand about this look is that there has to be a certain sheen, which is a satin effect, which allows flat black to work.

It has nothing to do with the fact that it's vinyl - it's too flat of a finish. There are plenty on matte/satin/flat black vinyled cars that look great.Originally Posted by Joe Z
No, actually it is because it was wrapped in Vinyl ......

IMHO the only vehicles needing flat finishes are military. I see no beauty in a flat (or satin) black finish.

My comment was merely pointing out that no matter if it is vinyl or paint, it's just too flat of a finish.Javier
