3M Matte Wrap

I know 3M makes matte wraps and what not but do they make GLOSSY wraps like a glossy black wrap?

They sent me this pic of my car. They just pulled it outside for me to get a look. I'm told it'll be done Tuesday.

looks incredible Matt white. I'm guessing the black parts are carbon fiber?
Brabus E55 body car correct?

What did you pay for getting your car wrapped? I've been giving it some thought when my car is finished.

Thanks for the info. By the way have you seen one in real life with the glossy wrap because I say a couple of 1080 series gloss jobs on YouTube and I got the impression it was still a little matte. Maybe the lighting was to blame though.

Did a 2 car deal for $3500- they wanted $1950 for just the 55 which included doing the wheels.

I liked it better original. TBH, I thought at first glance, it was a 2003 3 Series the way it was shaped. I'd definitely do the strips to match with the car. If you love it tho, enjoy it

3 series

.... BRABUS BODY E55 looks like 3 series? that's pretty odd
Strips are CARBON, how else would you make them MATCH matte white? pretty sure leaving the original chrome/color on wouldn't have been a good idea.
You need contrast on matte colors. I'm quite sure anyone who has seen the car in person think they look great.
I liked the car glossy white as well but wanted a change, always thought matte white looked great.

2 Car deal? What else did you wrap in your stable?

Can't wait to see it in person. I want to wrap my s2000 maybe I'll take it to your guy.

Should have wrapped the car with Xpel Stealth Film. IMO the matte white vinyl makes the car look kind of ghetto.

Sorry not a fan of that look or Xpel brand. I like the 3m- Oracal and Hexis brand films best. My buddy did his Lambo like that and pulled the "stealth" stuff and black film off in the first month. 3k down the drain. Those black type wraps seem to give the car a "primer" type look. The whites/grays are much better because the change isn't so drastic. IMO.
I kinda dig the ghetto look.. thanks cuzzy

I've never like the matte look, but the matte white looks incredible. Don't care for the white wheels though. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

But, did you enjoy the Gameboy when you first got it and did you spend countless hours playing it?

If we live by your line of thinking there is no point in ever changing or adapting, since in a few years it'll be obsolete, out of style, or "faded".
