Don't you like the Silver? Did you have a color in mind?

i'm interested in satin black or the reventon color but I have other priorities first...

A complete re-spray done right, requires many items removed so the inside trim, door panels, under hood, etc. can be painted. The pre-paint preparation is very time consuming thus very expensive. A good paint shop doing this right will charge you $5K-15K.

The Reventon paint is a matte flat paint finish which is very difficult to apply and only shops with considerable experience can do it right.

TO get the matte finish its better to vinyl wrap the car.... costs much less than paint and looks better than most matte jobs

Is the "wrap" reversible just in case you change your mind? Also, does it damage the paint if removal of the "wrap" is possible?

Thanks.

From what I understand it does not damage the vehicle's paint whatsoever – at least not a high quality (mb) paint job.

I have watched 3M clear car bra material pull paint flakes off of a "decent" paint job.

Wraps do not damage paint unless thebpaint itself was already damaged and flaking
