The New Company Carby `dangeruss

Digital Art / 3-Dimensional Art / Vehicles / Terrestrial (for land)

To celebrate the launch of the new site, we commissioned this custom matte wrapped Bentley Continental GT from Platinum Motorsports (yeah right). The light was just perfect, so I took this (fake) photo outside of our remodeled Mediterranean offices (complete BS).

I LOVE the matte paintjob. I wanted to get my EvoX painted in matte black, but they wanted $13k to do it.

thirteen. thousand. dollars. ?! What does a car wrapping place charge to wrap it in vinyl?

~JoKeR0720 Jun 4, 2012 Professional Filmographer

Not nearly that much, I don't believe. Well, to paint a car 'right' you need to remove all the doors and the pieces in the doors, and the engine and etc... to paint it like it was 'stock' color. I could do a 'cheaper' paint job, but I'll always know and it would probably bother me.

you can save a bit of money depending on how much you are able to do of it yourself. If you can take care of disassembling it (removing the doors, lights, trim, bumpers and any other panels with seams, as well as all the trim surrounding the glass, otherwise you will have to take the glass out as well) and masking and papering over the interior bits and the wheels then you can save quite a bit off the original price estimate, which probably included doing much of that. Also, vinyl wraps are very convenient and much less expensive than a full four or five coat paint job with dry and cure time, however, wraps tend to be difficult to install and they wear very quickly comparatively. Basically, unlike paint where you can buff scratches out of the clearcoat, with a vinyl wrap, especially a matte finish one, there aren't any particularly good ways of protecting the finish. So expect it to last half as long.

Yeah, I looked into many different solutions and in the end, I figured it just wasn't worth all the trouble and money. I've got enough money under the hood, that I don't need to start dumping money on top of it too

Since the painting estimate, I was able to do a few things to the car that made me like the paint color a bit more. Tinting windows, getting black matte finish wheels, a few other black accents, etc. So, I'm not sweating it too much anymore. I did worry about getting the whole car done in matte and not being able to 'fix' it without having to repaint the entire part also. I have a matte black motorcycle, and I ran into that issue when I got a scratch on my tank. Thanks for the recommendations and talking with me about it

Keep up the amazing work!
