    Hey guys,

    This is somewhat unusual, but I am hoping someone here can help out.

    Basically, I want to wrap my front bumper lip in flat black. I don't want to paint it.

    I don't know much about car wraps, but hopefully one of you can guide me as to what I need. Looking for a wrap that is flat/matte black and enough of it to wrap a front lip which is a very simple shaped lip, no crazy curves or anything unusual. It's about 4 inches tall and the width of the car.

    Where can I buy a high quality wrap for a job like this?

    if its just lip why not get flat black grill paint and paint it yourself? with flat its pretty hard to get uneven spots or runs. or do that rubber coating. you can remove it if you dont like it

    May I suggest something? Forget 3m Matte Black and go with Satin Black. I have worked with both and Matte black is not nearly as clean looking and looks just like a dull primer. Satin is a much deeper black with a small sheen to it. I just wrapped a friend's roof and spoiler in Satin and it came out amazing. Check the pics:

    Hey guys, haven't been around much considering I wrapped my entire car and maintenance is a bit different. As said above the satin vinyls look better, are easier to clean etc. Matte Black 1080p looks very chalky, imo.

    I would do satin black (3m) or oracal 970ra's matte black.

    Some pics of my 2010 ms3 wrapped in 970 ra ( took me about 3 weeks trying to complete a panel @ night after work).
