Any Flat Black, Satin Black, murdered 2nd gens out there

He might not sell it?

Can anyone chime in on how hard it is to keep matte/flat black clean?

 

How would wrap do up against weather and the elements

 

Like "NIGHT" said, how hard is it to keep clean

 

about as hard as normal black. silver is pretty much the easiest vehicle to keep looking clean and scratch free.

my first taco was silver and never looked dirty. my current taco is blue and always looks dirty and shows swirl marks and scratches really bad

 

I hear ya.....hmmm, sumthin to think about.

 

I never said he would sell it. I was simply stating that it might lower re-sale value

As far as keeping it clean, just wash as normal, just don't polish or wax. There's also special cleaners made specificaly for matte black.

Depends on the quality of the wrap. You get what you pay for, just know that a wrap is not going to last a lifetime as regular paint would.

 

This thought process is harder than i thought lol

 

Also, durability of paint, because without wax it might etch easily from bugs/birds or even scratches, rock chips and or scuffing.

Some things to keep in mind:

-Quality of paint/wrap
-Workman ship
-Cleaning
-Durability as stated above
-Repairs(big one because you can't polish. Correct me if I am wrong)
-Longevity
-functionality
Just something to think about

Yes, re-sale value would be reduced but not in all cases.

I am still debating on whether to get my door fixed because of the effin idiots at CrossTown Body(stay away from these morons if you're in the edmonton area, couldn't even fix a scratch; they managed to eff my whole door up and they are the shittiest auto body alive and should go out of business. Took 5 times to fix my door and its still not fixed. I gave up with the dealership and these crosstown failures)

Yup looking at all that really needs to be takin into considertion. Also getting a good paint job can be costly

 

Now thts what im talkin bout

 

I really like this one cuz i love those rims

 

Sexy huh?

 

Here are a couple of SDHQ builds...

 

Me! Haven't updated my Sig, painted my grill black

 

lol i didnt even notice that, i wonder y he did tht

 

Black will be very hard to keep clean also, another optin i could do is paint the truck that magnetic gray, and black out the emblems and grill, rims etc

 

That is one sick truck! That is probably the first matte black finish that I have truly liked!
