IcEWoLF Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Matte vs Gloss vinyl wrap window trim. Its a Magnetite grey color. So far the shop is telling me matte would look way better than gloss and scratches will be less apparent on matte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far the shop is telling me matte would look way better than gloss and scratches will be less apparent on matte. It's personal. I will say that matte is easier to apply crinkle-free around edges so if I were a shop, that's what I'd push you towards too. But I have zero regrets about going all-gloss. Blends into the glass. Unless you want it to stand out from the glass, which I don't. @redvenetian on Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PATS4LIFE Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Even if the front jdm grille going to be a little glossy? If that’s the case then I would go gloss Are you wrapping the roof also?you might as well go full gloss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The JDM grille has chrome on the edges the one form SMY. I’m still thinking matte would look best on my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either one one will look nice on your car,but I prefer gloss to match with the glossy grill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcEWoLF Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 Gloss it is, and I think gloss would be easier to clean! I’ll post pics when it’s done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pleiades 3.6R Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I’ll post pics when it’s done. Looking forward to it. I was considering having it done but no one in Texas would do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcEWoLF Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Just had them done, it appears the installer did not do the B-Pillars as I instructed him to, but I'll have to go back on Tuesday. Also it looks like some of the edges he did not properly cut and there were small gaps and it looks like he might have used plasti dip?... Not happy about that, only two trims were plasti dipped on the edges to cover up the chrome. Anyways I think the gloss looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PATS4LIFE Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Since I already wrap my roof glossy black ,what you guys think if I wrap the hood glossy black too? I was thinking on the hood using the Avery white carbon fiber wrap or glossy black, BTW my car is Crystal pearl white color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcEWoLF Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Here is the picture of the flaws, it seems like he messed few areas and to cover up the mistakes he might have used paint? https://imgur.com/a/Maxx6 Pissed about it, but I’m sure he will either fix it or refund me.

IcEWoLF Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Sorry to see that. Either way it’s gonna be taken care of, I will have him redo it, if he can’t do a decent job at it and cut corners like that I will have him refund me the money and go elsewhere.
