Ken4555 1st Gear January 20, 2010 Share January 20, 2010 hi all, i have always liked a full matt black car... think its very cool... but a couple of things have prevented me from doing so... they are; -car will become TP magnet... true? -look so ah beng.... true? -my has a couple of dents, will show on the sticker... true? -if all matt... and car no performance... damn sia suay man... haha... true? however now that i am no longer able to park my car covered at my work plc... my car is subjected to the weather, acid rain, and my stupid next door that contributes to saw dust flying everywhere... haiz... just 2 full weeks and now my car has lost its smoothness and is sooooooo rough.... sob sob... that is why i am considering matt black or the 3M carbon fibre car skin.... heard JB can do much cheaper.. but SG easier i guess.... any comments? or anyone knows the latest price? should i do the whole car or just bonnet and roof and boot? sigh.... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangoElite 6th Gear January 20, 2010 Share January 20, 2010 full matt black is nice for certain cars with certain shapes n lines not all cars do well in full matt black ur ride is a sunny?? generally sedans not easy to pull off such a look any bodykits or spoiler? sawdust might be more obvious on matt black, but also might be easier to wash off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respraying the car for CNY, ive been quoted 1200. I dont think its the best price though. Need help from bros here to input bro... trust me i've been through re-spraying a few times on my other cars previously owned... never go hunting for cheap re-spray... bubbles... layer too thin too thick... lots of shitty work will show in a couple of weeks... go for dupoint paint and MUST be good reputable workshop... 3M bonnet car size last i saw $150-$180.... matt black i think i saw $80.... whole car pre pare abt $1k depending on your car bumper shape all... Malaysia MUCH cheaper and plus conversion rate EVEN cheaper... but you need to wait there lah... Edited January 20, 2010 by Ken4555 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bighappyjer 1st Gear January 20, 2010 Share January 20, 2010 i'm also tempted to go matt black.. my poor black ride parked outdoor most of the time - dings and dongs very obvious, plus tree sap/bird s--t stains... Other than sticker, is there any matt spray available for reasonable price? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than sticker, is there any matt spray available for reasonable price? matt spray will cost same like regular spraying... maybe more expensive abit... i sprayed my bonnet matt black years ago on my previous honda... nice... by the way if your car is full of dents... it will be very obvious on a matt car.. and black cars get dusty within a day... if you park in the open... if you purpose is to wash less often... silver is the less obvious when its dusty... for me i wash my car every other day and whenever it rains... so i dont mind matt black...

Inxs Neutral Newbie January 22, 2010 Share January 22, 2010 Mine is an rx8, galaxy grey. Im intending to sell it so im intending to spray the same color before doing so. Its been under the sun so often, the aesthetics is pretty.... how would u put it, .... seen better days... So which would be an option? Sticker it or spray?

Zyrofillica 1st Gear January 22, 2010 Share January 22, 2010 full matt black is nice for certain cars with certain shapes n lines not all cars do well in full matt black ur ride is a sunny?? generally sedans not easy to pull off such a look any bodykits or spoiler? sawdust might be more obvious on matt black, but also might be easier to wash off agree. generally, i feel cars with sharp contours and sleek profiles do well in matt black. Rounder shaped cars look extremely unsuitable for a matt black finishing. sunny is considered quite round and even with aggressive bodykits to break up the smooth contours of the car and make it more edgy, im still not too sure about it being in matt black.

Acevin Clutched January 23, 2010 Share January 23, 2010 In terms of quality, nothing beats original painwork. While going for wrap, u still can remain your original painwork if in future u want to restore. Also u can no need to wash car tat frequent liao. Mayb once every few mths as those decal can protect ur actual car body against rain, sand etc.. No need detailing/wax/polish anymore... For me, I will go for car wrap..

Route88 2nd Gear January 23, 2010 Share January 23, 2010 3M CF sticker is much tougher than vinyl Matt. But cannot imagine full 3M CF on your car jadi or tak jadi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
