These ones are made by oracal. I also used Oracal 970RA in matte black.

Few questions though:

1) Does rain damage it?

2) How do you wash it?

3) Was it difficult to apply it?

1) no
2) Just car soap, I use plexus when a want more of a satin finish, it dries very quickly, small scratches can be buffed out with a finger. Nothing abrasive.
3)On the C63 the front bumper was tough, rear bumper wasn't easy, doors, roof, hood, other panels were easy BUT time consuming.
Biggest tip is to use 50/50 isopropyl alcohol water to prep surface and 3m tape primer in deep concave areas.

Haha, for me vinyl wrapping is kind of like cleaning a babies poop diaper, I do it for my baby but not someone else's.

In other words it's kind of a pain in the butt to wrap because it takes so long but when the end result is your car it's worth it.

Well then my poor baby is going to be going around with a pooped diaper. LOL.

There are a lot of places that do it. If you live in a big city there is likely a signage/advertising place that does car wraps. If not there are also some places that fly people out to you and do it.

I think I prefer to do it myself & spend the extra money on the car.

You can order the designo MAGNO Night Black as a PA1 special order for the C63. Cost is about $7k CAD.
