To Matt or not to Matt black performante coupe

[wilpert]

Hi all,
Recently traded my Grigio titan spyder for a Nero noctis (very deep black) huracan performante.

It has a fairly recent full gloss PPF.
Don t want to be wasteful but do folks think a satin matte or matte PPF would do the car more justice.
Please don t think I don t like the gloss black because it looks really good but I was wondering if the Matt would give it the stealth look.
Or is that gonna spoil the look of it.

Opinions very welcome.

BTW wish I did this last year. The perf prices have gone a bit bananas lately.
Such a lovely drive too I’m well pleased with the car.

Matte black wraps have to be the worst, chavviest thing you can do to a car.

That car is lovely. Stay classy.

Short of some sort of baby pink, nothing makes your car look more st than a Matt black wrap.

Also Matt black is the hardest colour to keep clean.

[Zorbathegreek]

Just no, please. For the reasons above.

How about a chrome wrap?

Or a gold chrome?

please do not do that - it will make the car look worse imo

This.

Don’t make a stunning car look cheap, tatty and tasteless.

Saw a Matt black wrapped Adventador a few weeks ago. It looked awful.

I really don't know how matt wraps became a thing.

The car looks stunning - leave it alone!

I think it's my mind playing tricks on me, I had the grigio titan paint on my last Huracan and I liked the matt effect, TBH it wasn't hard to keep clean, just a wash with ph. neutral shampoo, then a rinse in filtered water, so that would be a worry for me.

thanks for the positive comments about the existing finish, it is encouraging.

I have had a black Huracan before and I swore not to do it again but I'm a glutton for punishment and this one has full PPF, so the cleaning isn't too hard (:

Loving the car so-far and I can now see why they are holding the price so well.

It's your car, do what the fk you want with it.

You're in a Lambo, it isn't like matt wrap will make it blend into the background. If you wanted that you should have got a Prius

But if you're going to change it, the world is your oyster. How about a Movie Tribute wrap? The General Lee, Starsky and Hutch or A-Team van stripe, the eagle on the bonnet from Smokey and the Bandit, or maybe Herbie. Knight Rider is probably too subtle on that.

Agreed, although it's already a homage to the Cannonball Run Countach

Don t think I d go too extreme with the movie theme stuff I m still on the fence about a satin or Matt PPF. ?

Def won’t be looking for a Prius just yet though 😂

[zedmtrappe]

FWIW I think everything about it currently looks fantastic. Can't imagine matte ppf improving it.

[wilpert]

Thanks
I saw an aventador yesterday in Matt black.
Possibly was the factory paint and it did look stealth and enhance the angles but now I’m thinking to leave well alone and don’t tinker.
Fwiw the current PPF is only about 7 months old done by the previous owner and it looks decent so I should at least wait a while before I do anything too radical.

I think us car people just like messing about with the cars for some silly reason.😂

[595Heaven]

That looks fantastic. I'd definitely leave it gloss, and enjoy it!

I wouldn’t mess about with yours it looks perfect as it is. Suppose only reason to put them daft wraps on is to hire the car out for weddings and stuff.
