Not feeling it either. I'm not really a fan of the flat colors and wrap for that matter. Case in point, that 2011 Camaro at C&C Houston this last Saturday that was wrapped in Matte Black looked horrible. Also, a down part of wrap is the front looks bad after a little bit of Houston road grime and typically has nicks and tears in the wrap. I will say that you are pretty damn good at what you do as getting that all lined up perfectly is incredible, just not my taste.

The car looks good, though I would wrap the whole car; the rear being red just doesn't look right to me. Gloss black would be cool but the red just looks like it doesn't belong.

I bet it looks cool in person but [not trying to be mean] have the feel of primer in your pics.
I think it's a bit of an art to get matte black to work on cars. I didn't paint my Merc a flat or 'suede' color as the custom guys would call it because I didn't want folks to think it was a temporary color until I decided what color I really wanted to paint it.

lol no the flat black was taken off and this was added.
they are Giovanna mecca light weight wheels, 20x10 20x8.5
I have seen that Camaro as well and I cringed when I saw the lack of attention paid while installing this wrap. I have been wrapping for 3 + years and since at Deviate Autosport we are car enthusiasts first we pay attention to detail. Usually the ones that attempt to wrap are commercial print media wrap guys and if you notice they are used to trimming at the edges and never disassembling parts. We do, we have gotten so many positive remarks on our wraps that we are currently in the works of also expanding to the print media wraps, but our passion will be in the color change wraps. We are expanding to supply a demand. Back to the wraps, if done right they will not peel, and should tuck under parts. Feel free to ask questions
lol one DAY! on the other hand, tony can you pm me sponsor info, please thanks.
yes the red is just because I haven't had time to finish on this i do agree

I'm a bit confused by this. What do you mean? I think paint would have more unique colors than something printed. well with a wrap, we can do the same if not even better than paint, we can also add texture and for example, 3d carbon fiber....but to each his own, ill never paint my car ever again, for the reason that a wrap is interchangeable and never damages my original paint. but to each his own.
