Went For Matte Metallic Charcoal

Decided with the Matte Metallic Charcoal, instead of the Matte Dark Grey (too light for me) and Battleship Grey (too showy for me). I left the side mirrors, door handles, roof and pillars black, for black accent... Here she is now!!! Sorry for the cellphone pix.....

I'm a regular customer of his sticker/vinyl shop, maybe my price is different from others, but all I can say it ranges from 1600-2000.

Now I noticed that you said "matte METALLIC charcoal".

Can we get a close up shot of this? Im curious about that aspect of it, as metallic usually implies sparkle, and Im curious about how it works with matte.

604 C63 - Google "3M™ Wrap Film 1080-M211 Matte Charcoal Metallic" - you'll see pics of different cars in different light as well as some closeups of the vinyl itself. Was considering this exact film for one of my P-cars.
