Can't decide!

peeej · 07-15-2011, 03:13 AM

Hey guys I am due for a brand new paint job and can't decide whether to just keep the original paint (jet black) or switch on over and get the matte black paint?

Suggestions and opinions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

If you want to go matte black I would suggest vinyl wrapping

Jet black is classy, but matte black just looks dirty and stealth.

+1 matte black.

Wrap it, unless you getting a pro job a la designo matte paint from Mercedes Benz.

Vinyl wrapping is becoming more prevalent so you might want to consider that. Personally, I'm a fan of red cars but I think white Bimmers are nice as well.

Anyone have a price range on wrapping an e92?

wrickem · 07-28-2011, 03:21 PM

Get both! Get it sprayed with a nice primer, which is what matte looks like anyway, drive around with it like that for a while, then save up for a nice glossy paint job in a year or so, kind of like the way umm, less fortunate people do it.
