I'm in the process I'm blacking out all the chrome pcs on my car

I spoke to a guy today about wrapping and so on and he advised that I should do the window trimmings in gloss black not matt black
He said the matt black doesn't flow as good as gloss
What do you guys think??

I haven't seen either in person so I don't know which way to go

My wheels are matt my grill is matt my fogs are matt

Some help is needed

OP, what color is your car? Mine is white and I will be getting the window trim wrapped today. Will mostly go for matte black.

Gloss. Matte will look like a large window seal

I agree, color of car makes a big difference. I would go matte black if you have black car for some contrast, but I really like gloss black trim on any other color, looks more classy to me.

olszowa12 is right. GLOSS. Your car is gloss so gloss black will look more professional. Matt will look out of place.

I wrapped my window trims with matte black. It flows with the rest of my trims.

why not gold chrome?..... baller look.....kidding....gloss for sure....I plasti dipped my door handles and its looks like X!it right now...planning to remove and finish it all in black gloss to align with your door center pillar pieces which are gloss black.

I wrapped my window trim with matte black vinyl tis morning. looks great. Had planned to go gloss but saw another car with gloss and changed my mind.

Gloss. When mine was white, made all the chrome matte black, then gloss. Looks better.

mr747

lol you should do yours in purple chrome i think it would suit your car alot lol


i might try both and see what they look like

so many mixed reviews lol
i was hoping this was going to be easy lol

mr747

when you had your trims gloss was everything else matt?? like grill and stuff
do you have pics??

Phorte

^ i agree with this.

even if your front grille and wheels are matte, it won't clash if the window trim is gloss - as long as it's black and the chrome is gone.

think of people with matte front grilles but also gloss/CF lip. it still works.

MaroonC63

Sorry no, all matte, then all gloss. But as others have said, i don't think the gloss will clash with the chrome you already have in matte. Pictures won't show the difference thats for sure!

SROC276

Haha my car is white too...maybe we can start a new fad...you do gold and I'll do purple....

mr747

HAHAHAH
done lol


Thanks Maroonc63

I agree with gloss

Dogtag114

Agree. I have matte grille and gloss black trim. For me, Gloss looks better near gloss for strips of color.


Imagine matte racing numbers on gloss paint... wouldn't look as continuous...

Plasti dip is cool for a temporary look but over that do the wrap just make sure they know how to do the trim correctly so it doesn't start peeling off randomyl
