matte black cars?

Post by **Mr_Coupe** » Thu Jul 10, 2008 2:59 pm

looking around online bored and i came across this its a matte blk GTR.. but theres one thing its not painted its wrapped in some sort of sticker or warp all around on every inch of the car i was talking to Doc on another thread about what he though about getting a matte blk roof overlay and having a matte blk theme he said hes currently working on something like thit not the whole car of course but stuff like the tails which he already has done the roof etc.. i dont know who on here knows about this but its looks and sounds awsome and looks different sorry if i sound like a noob lol...what do you guys think about this heres what a guy said about the matte blk GTR:

Confirmation that it's a sticker/wrap from the owner (in the forum):"Gentlemen,First time I am posting here after being informed by the photograher Vanq that my matt batmobile car was/is being "featured" in the NAGTROC.

The matt car is based in Singapore. It took about 6 days for the car to be wrapped in a matt black "sticker".

Cost of the job was about US$1700 as compared to a full matt black paint job which would have cost about US$2300. The obvious advantage of the sticker job is that if you get tired of it, just peel it off and polish. Unlike paint which if you want to revert to the original color would cost you another US$2300.

Maintenance is super easy... just wash or jet off. No polishing.

I am happy to answer any questions if any.

heres a photo shop of it in matte blue

Matte black belongs on two types of cars - Exotics/super cars and old school muscle cars/rat rods. (ok maybe technically 4) /end thread lmao.

That GTR in matte black does look sweet though!

meh not always. But rarely does it look good on basic cars. I think on the AC it MIGHT be alright because of the cars lines, just have to see it. Anything with hard/aggressive lines can pull it off, but very few with smooth flowing curves. The only smooth car ive seen pull it off was a jaguar XKR, and that was only on NFS Carbon my own creation lol. Ive seen a few mini trucks and civics done in matte black, and it was a sad fail each time. Though on reflection I think most of those were primerd and not really matte black finish.. That always ends badly lol. If anybody did it to an AC I would love to see it though :P

Rob, from Rob and Big had his yukon or tahoe Matte black and it looked sweetbut i guess some can pull it off more than others, and the A/C can do it if done right

This is the Cinister 300 at last years San Francisco Auto show, by far one of the hottest custom paint jobs i've ever seen in person *sure if i saw that GTR in person that will take the cake.

I think a matte black altima coupe would look clean, it would have to a modded one maybe the full stillen kit and some nice rims. I think a matte black stock altima coupe would be kinda overkill and look out of place. Just my two cents

The GTR could be pink with rainbow polka-dots and still look drop dead sexy.

I can't wait till I can get my hands on one in 3 or 4 years.

I think Five-Axis IS-F is the first Matte painted car I saw. Pure sexiness.

some reason i think flat black paint only belongs on cars that are fast. flat black just looks hella mean and should have the balls to back it up. IMO

the first 3 would make a great new batmobile...

There's actually a matte blue Sentra SE-R in my area... it looks pretty good... I over heard him talking to the owner of the Car/audio shop asking how to wash it ... and then I thought... that's exactly why I wouldn't do it... After all the $ i put into something, I'd like to be able to keep it looking crisp and clean, and not have to worry about how to do something that simple

If you can do a whole friggin car in matte black vinyl type stuff like that guy did... its the better way to go... DUST scratches matte paint, vinyl not so much!

exactly Brian .. the vinyl is different it still looks gorgeous when done properly but you still have your OEM paint underneath just in case u get bored with the vinyl i think its a great idea and all you have to do when u take off the vinyl is wash it and wipe it down. like i said before if i had black or blue coupe id do this to my car with the stillen fascia and rockers on and the complex curves of or cars it would look fantastic..but each to his or her own.
