The car does look very nice. Did you have it professionally wrapped?

I really want to wrap my car matte white or some exotic color but I don't want to pay to have it professionally done and I don't want to commit the time and energy.

Thank you.
The car comes from factory painted matte. All edition 1 (50 f canada) come with this color matte paint.
Properly wrapped car would look really nice.
You might want to explore plasti dipping the whole car but research on the effect of the paint, if any.

Solid advice.

My only addition would be to anyone plasti-dipping their whole car, make sure you have some spare cans lying around of the same colour! You WILL have issues in your door handles and other areas of frequent use. You will want to correct these ASAP to prevent further peeling.

I've extensively researched dipyourcar, and I was watching Fonzie's dip video's before dipyourcar got big. After dipping my wheels a few times and my brother's aluminum trim, I realized that I don't want to deal with the mess of plastidip.

I much prefer the look, feel and application of wrap. This is just a dumb dream though, I love my glossy black paint. Just such high maintenance!
