What do you think? its something different, I personally think the matte style is played out.

We have a NICOnaut in the vinyl wrapping business (Phenom), and he does nice work. I'm not a big fan of matte or chrome finishes, but fortunately not all vinyls are matte or chrome. For example, for the Carlisle show, Phenom wrapped his black Alti coupe in a snappy green color that looked really good. :dblthumb:

Although the green color changing vinyl did look cool though. Its just not my style all my cars will always have paint..

Oh my. I really thought the Plastidip craze was going to stay in the Altima Coupe section. Guess not.
