I would assume that the person who quoted you is wrapping it (meaning it's not paint). Where do you live? Might be able to suggest a place (assuming that car is still at the shop) to show you a display.

That is a good question, not sure if its a wrap or paint he quoted me on. It was a quick conversation over the phone and we did not get into detail as something came up for me that minute. I will need to call the dude back and ask him if it was paint or a wrap. At this point i am 100%sure i will be going with a wrap as i want to keep the original paint of the Maserati.

By the way i live both in OC and LA depending on where the day takes me. Do you work for a company that does this type of work ?? I would love to see a display and can drive to your shop to see it.

I think the guy on the phone quoted you for a wrap. Doubt the guy will be thinking about painting. No I don't work for a company that does this kind of work. But I know James at ACG does it and he does good work. The guy who psoted before me. The other shop I go to is in Torrance. They had a matte black car that one of the guys was working on a couple weeks ago, dunno if it's still there. I'm gonna be there tomorrow or Saturday so I'll keep you posted.
