Vinyl wrap that matches factory GM black paint?

Darth Martel · 01-09-2018, 08:26 AM

I'm thinking about getting a ZL1 spoiler from Ikon and I know they come unpainted so trying to figure out the best options for matching the look of my car. It's factory GM black. I know getting it painted will be pretty expensive so was entertaining the idea of just getting it wrapped. I just don't know if there's a wrap available that matches close enough to GM's factory paint job. Does anybody have any experience or knowledge on this?

I think you may be surprised at the price to have it painted, since it's just gloss black it will be a very simple paint job, my guess would be $200-300. As for wrap a 3M 1080 or Avery gloss black should be close enough to the factory paint to not tell the difference and would probably run you about $100.

You just spent 65+k, don’t get cheap now, like said above , a factory look paint job will be 250-350, not much in the grand scheme.

If you must wrap, have metrorestyling.com send you samples......

Score one for the good guys, just got quoted $180 for a paint job on the spoiler. Going with that.

Good feedback though as some would rather wrap anyhow, just to be different.

thanks
