Default Going all Black! Wheel wrap

Did some experimental wheel wrapping. Used vivid matte black. I’d have to say that it’s a very easy product to work with. Takes some getting used to but fairly easy.
Wrapped the polished areas matte black. So far, I’m very happy. Will see how this product holds up.

I'm not a fan of black wheels but it looks good on your black RX.

Thanks Skygc & mikemu30. I've always been a gunmetal or bronze wheel color guy myself. Black is growing on me.

Hi MakaRX350, Black with gunmetal wheels looks great, what is process called, what kind of coating does it have? Will it work on the silver trim of the front grill?

sorry for such a late reply.

Bought the wrap from eBay.
It should work.
I did also get all my silver trimming wrapped also, been busy with work so I paid a shop to do it.

Looks awesome!!! I have a 2018 RXL satin cashmere.
I want to wrap wheels, front grill and lights with black. I see you are in LA, can you please share the shop address where you did this job?
also please share the cost incurred.

Thanks! I do appreciate the comment. I actually did the wheels and tinted the head and tail lights, but due to time constraints, I got my buddies at Prestige Films to do the rest of the chrome/silver delete with Matte Black.

He did a package deal for me, I had my 4Runner tinted also. Call them up and let them know that Maka sent ya’ they’ll get you a good price.

Prestige Films (337.380.0219)
Lafayette, La.

Hope that isn’t too far for you.

Good Luck!
