This is who I ordered from: 3M vinyl, Hexis vinyl items in autovinylsolutions store on eBay!

They have good prices and new material (has not been sitting in warehouse a long time). You can order a sample for a few dollars.

I wanted mine to be different too, that's way I did the brushed steel. From a distance or in the dark I have had people think it is just silver or gray. Looks like matte gray in the dark. The brushed pattern really stands out in the sun.

thank you!! i ordered a few different samples today

I am not a big fan of bright loud colors like chromes, yellows, oranges, ect but I drive pass an aston martin dealership 3x a week and they have a matte orange Vanquish out front that just looks killer. And guess what? ... 3m 1080 has a matte orange wrap. Someone needs to wrap a raptor in this color:

You could wrap an Aston Martin in a bed sheet and it'd look awesome.

One of the most beautiful vehicles ever made.

Chrome

The Chrome is really bad ass but the down fall to it is that it has a low life expectancy. I attached the chrome truck we did a month back or so. Also not the material is NOT 3m they will not have it for another 6 months or so. Very Price as well I would say if you're going to do a full wrap mine as well make it a custom one with a matte finish. If you need help we would be more than willing to design and print for you possibly install as well. What's your time frame ?

I understand the chrome is very hard to work with too.

As for the brushed metal, that looks really cool. You have to be careful with it, it can "bruise" giving you surface a dented look, witch is not good.

Please dont do Chrome. Anything but chrome. Unless you live in Dubai.

Do matte red or blue or graphite/titanium. Besides protecting the paint wraps are supposed to make the vehicle look good. Why would anyone wrap a Ferrari, aston, Lambo raptor or whatever in chrome. Such sickass vehicles.

Please don't do chrome!! Like previously mention the glare for other drivers would be down right dangerous. The route I think I would take is brushed silver. I would like to get a satin black wrap for mine
