$2000 to Vinyl Matte Black my entire Car (Pics Nov 13)

Toma · 10-21-2010, 04:41 PM

Hello all, I was wondering if paying $2,000 to Vinyl Matte Black my entire BMW 335i 2007 was too much. These are professionals who do Bentleys, Lambos, Ferrari's so the quality of work is no concern. What do you guys think of the price though?

Thanks in advance!

*UPDATE* 11-13-2010......

It cost more around $3K but it was well worth it.... More pictures coming soon....

Dumb question but I assume you mean paint and not vinyl?

Not a dumb question, I was dumb for not making it clear, sorry. Vinyl Matte Black. They will basically just wrap the entire car with a sheet of Matte Black, like a protective layer

That's cheap.. post pics when its done

Yep - that's about the cheapest quote I've seen to do this.

Yea that's a good price. A clear front end bra alone costs upwards of 1k. I know Ovechkin paid 5,000 to get his black series wrapped.

AKbmw · 10-21-2010, 06:31 PM

where is this place! i would do it for 2k!!

Toma · 10-21-2010, 07:55 PM

For all those who are interested... I will get it done, if it comes out good, I will take photos and tell you guys where it is. I don't want you guys to go there and it comes out ugly and blame me lol.... I will keep you all posted.

I am dropping my car off on Nov 11th... so expect pictures around the Nov 15th... Thanks for all the feedback!

AKbmw · 10-21-2010, 07:56 PM

About 3 days. He said 4-6 days to play it safe, but he said he can have it ready in 3 days, and they will still be taking their time.

3 Years Fully Covered, such as bubbles or wear and tear. And they take everything apart (bumpers, side skirts, etc). I can't wait until Nov 13 (the day I pick it up)

Since you asked, I think it’s a BIG waste of money.

The vinyl roof was the worst automotive fad ever perpetrated on the American public by the Big Three automakers, with all of the problems of a convertible top (fading, ripping, etc.) and none of the benefits.

Today, vinyl siding is still considered to be a cut-rate material for home exteriors, so why would anyone want to cover the entire exterior of a car in cheap vinyl? Especially a BMW?

Just my opinion though...

because it looks BADASS!!!

shockin330i · 10-21-2010, 11:06 PM

Lol the vinyl they use on cars isn't the same vinyl they used back in the day.. vinyl ftw

JhnR · 10-22-2010, 03:32 AM

i would think the material they use these days is a little better than back in the day...and you have 3 years of warranty..even "wear and tear" it says. so you can always have them redo it for free anytime there is an issue.

chumley · 10-22-2010, 08:40 AM

Just curious, how do you care for it? I imagine it can be washed with a mild car wash but I doubt you'd want to wax it or put any chemicals on it.

I was wondering about that lol, for sure I will ask them.

mds82 · 10-22-2010, 12:28 PM

how much would it cost just to get a coat of semi-gloss clear coat put on the entire car?

Sean@PYSpeed.com · 10-22-2010, 12:33 PM

How about another color in matte? Dakar Yellow in matte? This would be pretty cool
