I'm vinyl wrapping my Lexus.

The only kind I would bother with is Oracal 970RA. Matte black takes six weeks to arrive from Germany, however, as it's a european market color.



If I had seen this earlier I could've helped out a lot more.
 
Not sure if you're entirely opposed to the idea of paint or not, but I did the paintjob on my '77 Mercury Monarch with John Deere Blitz Black paint.



Here's the writeup:

$44 paintjob = teh hAwtness. - CICENetwork - Forums







Not sure if the pictures will show up as a guest, so here's what the final result was:

Congrats. It will look terrible soon just like any flat paint job / primer. ;)

It's the same paint that's used to coat the fenderliners of John Deere tractors.







It's resistant to almost everything (dirt, water, mud, poo, agricultural chemicals, gasoline, oil, etc.)







I got bombarded by a bunch of angry pigeons, that seemed to have had a case of the splatters. The whole car was covered in bird poo, and all it took was the 20 minute thunderstorm to wash it all off.





John Deere Blitz Black??





I'm not saying it won't ever fade, but considering how fast I go through cars, I'm not too worried about it fading in 3-5 years.
 
nah, flat black jobs suck IMO, you cant polish them and they always look dirty to me...



and I would definitely outsource the job on the complete wrap since you have zero experience with it. Maybe try it out on a curvy bumper first and decide if you want to go through with it on the whole car????



good luck with whatever you do
 
This is interesting.



It provides alot of protection, right? Besides the fact you can change the color (well exterior) of your car.



How much does this run?

I think for $44 it looks pretty damn good! Once you get the trim back on, dress the tires and rims....you can't beat it! Iv'e seen a few muscle cars done this way and they just have a unique look about them!
