Default should i matte white plastidip my entire V1?
what do you guys think?

Leave it with the black grille and trim, wheels, and windows.

I've used it on my 4runner bumpers and it holds up well to the offload abuse I may do the whole vehicle... I couldn't tell you if it fades over time though I haven't had it on long enough

Been thinking of matte silver for myself.
Matte white would look sick, as well as the common matte black.

I couldnt even contemplate the amount of plastidip you would need to go from a black car to white. It would probably be cheaper to do a wrap and it would look better.

I went with white when I was looking to change up the color from black, and haven't looked back.

I love my white V...
