    Matte Black VINYL Wraps ?

    Hello all, I've been running into many matte black cars that have a so called
    "Leios Matte Black exterior wrap". I wanted to know if anyone knew about this wrap. Is it really like a vinyl wrap or real paint?
    Anyone in Florida do these wraps?
    Thanks for the intel guys

    Wrap would be vinyl or matte paint protection film. Never heard of that brand, but there are many companies out there that private label.

    Is your car black now, or some other color? I ask because that will greatly change your options.

    The vinyl wraps are thin, (2 mil iirc), so won't provide the protection that a normal 'clear bra' will which are 8 mil in thickness. If your car is black, then use Xpel 'Stealth' film or Premier's 'Satin Guard'. That way the car will be matte black but still have the 8 mil protection.

    it's a vinyl wrap, with no paint protection as mentioned above, way too thin to protect anything...and for the matte black...I was all over doing that too, but than while I was in Germany I thankfully saw an R8 v8 done and I didn't like it, but that comes all up to personal taste preferences

    Eww no more matte black cars please. Let's see some more matte white or silvers. Does anyone even make a matte white wrap? Or the matte grey/silver like the R8 GT? The new AMG SL's can come ordered from the factory in a nice matte white paint, heck even the M3 offers it. The wraps are easy to do but the film is thin and can get chips easily. We have our race cars wrapped in vinyl and after one race the wrap is beat up.

    Premier's Satin Guard or Xpel's Stealth products will render any colour 'matte' and provide 8 mil protection.
