Green, that looks good! In a way it reminds me of my old 04 F150 FX4 that I used to own which was Dark Shadow Gray. not matted, but I got all kinds of comments on about the way it looked. I think you are going to be very happy with the final product.
Hey guys...
My SVT is the Flame Blue Screw, and I live in a place (Maine) where there is snow at least 4 months of every year, so sand and salt are an issue.
Is there any documentation, or has anyone done this wrap in an environment like mine? Will it hold up to the salt? Will it protect the finish FROM the salt?
And someone asked about taking the Rap through the brushless car washes - I've done it, they fit with plenty of room and you can leave the mirrors in the open/forward position to ensure they get clean.
Since it will be a few months until I can put on my bikini and wash my baby by hand - soap / hose / garden sprayer - the brushless car wash is almost a necessity to keep the salt off, or at least minimize it.
I like the matte look because of the protection afforded, but still like the look of the Flame Blue all shiny and clean. Nothing is cooler than watching heads turn where ever I drive it! My two sons spend most of their time counting the number of rubber-neckers as we go down the road!

Not sure how well it would hold up to a brushless car wash, I suppose it would depend on what kinda pressure the water is hitting the truck at.
As for the bikini, you're not allowed to wash a raptor in a bikini unless I approve the choice of bikini you wish to wear while washing.
Feel free to PM me pictures of you wearing the desired bikini.
JUST KIDDING
I've been drinking. Sorry.
But in all honesty, I wouldn't risk a automated car wash with a matte wrap unless someone else is the guinea pig!
It should hold up to the salt and debris. I've seen some matte vehicles around here where I can guarantee we use more salt than you can imagine, and I see matte vehicles all the time So I'd guess it hold up

I like to think of Jesus like with giant eagles wings, and singin' lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with like an angel band and I'm in the front row and I'm hammered drunk!
BTW, truck looks SICK !
