As someone who has daydreamed about a matte wrap, thank goodness for this video! I actually blacked out my car's chrome trim in satin black and even THAT can be a little annoying to keep clean so I can almost imagine what this would have been like. Not all the concerning surface marring showed up on the video but I kept noticing the fingerprints which would drive me up a wall. Good to see this is how you've ran your business!
matte always looks way better than satin on a chrome delete in black....the whole point of a chrome delete (in black) is to remove the chrome/shine from your trim. Satin black still has that sheen finish, so if you were going for shiny black trim instead of chrome then shoulda just saved $$ + gotten gloss black instead.
This is why you know Premium ain't just doin it for the cheese. They could've easily just wrapped it and got the money but instead they prioritize what's best for the customer and are willing to start all over.

It’s easy to take care of a matte black wrap just hand wash it with dawn cause it’s a degreaser and after u dry the vehicle wipe it down with 70% isopropyl alcohol
What about if the car isn’t all wrapped with the matte. I’m just doing my hood. So if I take it to the car wash then how do I wash the car? It’s not an issue to get it wet at a car wash? I don’t scrub my car anyway.
I love matte wrap. As a vehicle wrapper I can’t believe this video. The techs must be pretty bad to be honest. Gloss is easy to scratch, how did they manage to scratch matte? I use Avery wrap - although. Did they purchase this stuff from eBay? Also, fingerprints happen. If you touch your vehicle you have to wash it, not too hard. Love the look of a full matte wrapped vehicle, and mine of course
I agree. For the customer he should have just said forget it and go somewhere else. If you not going to get the look you want with your car what's the point. Matte black looks way better than Satin to me
I know I'm a bit late but does anyone have experience with Hexis' deep matte black? I usually use Avery and it's fine but this time the customer wants Hexis specifically and I dont want it to be sh*t like the wrap in this video
Really learned something about matte black wrap. As much as I like the look. I rather leave my car the way it is and just maintain it. Thanks for the infomation. Kudos!
I have always pushed satin cause it is the right move, but I have installed a couple matte black and dead matte black wraps from 3M. The trick is having new gloves and a new squeegee, treat it like its a chrome series wrap.
I don't get it? What's the point of the glove and new squeegee vs no gloves? To me it looks like they should be using gloves to install this. But do the oil and sweat really show beneath the matte wrap?
To get the matte effect, the best way (more expensive) is to use the expel matte PPF in my opinion, because it's more durable, last longer, and doesn't suffer from this dirty effect. But it's more difficult to install than vinyl and the material cost more to begin with.
You’ve just made 80% of the business’s I deal with look bad. Such a great example meeting your expectations and establishing and protecting a reputation. Great job. Other professions can learn from you example.
3M dead matte black looks sick actually! Gotta be careful with the heat however, definitely would NOT use a torch, definitely a heat gun install, all those marks can be cleaned off unless theyre burn marks. How you gonna not offer matte wraps lol. Get some heat guns fellas!!! Dead matte black looks sickkk with gloss black accents.⚡️⚡️
they actually had heat guns (the two who actually do the installs), but then in came daniel with the torch in hand like some madman pyromaniac when he was saying it looked awful, and started blasting the thing all over the film....it's like uh, hope ya know that's only going to make that wrap look worse...hahah
yeah, I always purposely call it 'sexy black' and then correct myself with a, "whoops, sorry. *SATIN black...." haha. Satin anything just always comes out crazy fresh...matte metallic black looks good too. Matte black is just pretty boring more than anything. I feel like there doesn't need to be a lengthy video to sum that up...took me one sentence
@@cyberlocc okay...cool? A couple widely-known facts about matte black doesn't change my opinion at all that satin (sexy) black will *always* look better than matte black on just about any car...could be bc it's an overused finish, or could be bc it's really never even been all that cool to begin with...idk 🤷♂️ plus, "murdered out" refers to an *all black* car, not a matte black car..so a car wrapped matte black w/o a chrome delete, for example, definitely wouldn't go down as 'murdered out' in my book. Satin black can 100% also be used for a murdered out look on a car....so could gloss black if that's your thing. It just refers to an 'all black everything' look..
@@mkm1856 Maybe where you come from lol. Where I grew up, where that term was coined, it was done so as people painted the cars like that, to be able to drive at night with all lights out, without detection to do drive bys. That's where the word comes from, satin and gloss black, do not provide the same fear of the vechile pulling up. When a car is "Murdered Out" in the hood, thats because that car is going to be used for usually violent, crime. Of course the meaning has deviated as it has appear "cool" to drive such a vechile. However before that became the "cool thing" it was done for a sole intent and thats where the name stems. The meaning still meant fully blacked out, but done so with Matte Black (usually spray paint). This was not usually done to everyday drivers, it was done to vans and beater cars, the license plates removed. They were not day to day vechiles, they were tools. Growing up when you seen such a car, it meant run some one is about to get Murdered, so GTFO. IE "Murder, Out" or "Murdered, Out" An "all black vechile" which plenty of hood cats, did do to daily drivers. Was called "Blacked Out". Only matte black, fully vechiles were known as "Murdered Out" and when you seen one you didnt stand around to admire its beauty. Murdered out also pertains to clothing and weapons. Wearing dark, deep, light absorbing blacks or painting weapons ect that color so they are extremely hard to detect at night.
It's not a waste because it's hydrophobic and protects the wrap from contaminants and staining. The car is easier to clean and you'll get a longer life out of the wrap.
Zane David yeah, wrap a car to protect the paint, ceramic coat the wrap to protect the wrap protecting the paint, wrap the ceramic coat to further protect the wrap that’s protecting the paint.......sound good? 🙄
TM Snacks if you’re wanting to think about it logically, ceramic coating costs a lot less than re-wrapping your car. Also satin and matte wraps stain a lot easier, so your original comment makes zero sense.
@@GhostPlaysGames Makes perfect sense. Wrap the car to protect the OEM paint and preserve value. Ceramic coat the wrap to protect the look and make it easier to wash. If you didn't want the looks of the vinyl you coulda just ceramic coated the OEM paintjob
Out of curiosity, could you matte laminate a gloss black film and install that? Would a matte laminate would be easier to clean and maintain rather than an actual matte colour film? Im just asking because we have installed digital printed wraps that have been matte laminated and they've come out absolutely fine before, but I'm not experienced enough to know that would work
Woah this is kinda weird seeing you here. Btw ur videos were some of the first projects i ever did on illustrator/photoshop and taught me a lot of techniques so thx
I’ve been preaching this to people who tell me that they want to go with matte black for the longest. I’ve been saying to go with gloss or satin. Looks closer to actual paint. Matte black just looks cheap, and in my opinion doesn’t look “badass” as people claim to be.
Interesting. Was looking at matte black to replicate the non-body colour plastics on a car, might need to rethink the whole plan because i don't think satin black works for me, the dead black is probably the shade i had in mind just for a few (pretty prominent) accent pieces
Good on you all. I’m so thankful for watching this video. Satin is the way to go! You all are amazing for informing customers and advising them even if it goes against their wishes. Your professional opinion is greatly valued!
Looks awesome on my 2014 Camaro SS 1LE from the factory. Just use a damp rag. Don't ever put anything on it, NEVER and it will last and look great. Anything you put on it will be cooked in the Sun and ruin it and draw dust and crap. < Ex 3M employee, And always spray with plain water and use a soft lint free rag and wipe in one motion from back of the hood to the front of the hood without picking up your rag and creating static electricity in your wrap, that draws the dust ;) ....we, had to run ground wire(s) off the assembly line because the film picks up so much static electricity, I worked in the film plant ;) ....try it now ;)
You guys are very professional and seems like you guys do quality work, and I got excited when watching the beginning of this video because you guys are right down the street from me! I will definitely be getting in contact soon, my roof wrap needs to be redone and also considering wrapping my hood
Yup. When heated, this material becomes almost like a clay like substance. So every fingerprint stays there, they are not really on the surface of the vinyl but in the actual film. Similar situation occurs when you press you finger in play doh, you cant really wipe the fingerprint off of it anymore without messing the whole thing up😁
Throughout the video, numerous times the guy recommends customers to not go for that one color. So why not just get rid of it to begin with and save the hassle between your crew and the customer 🤷♂️
Yeah I just wrapped a Tesla last week in matte black and it looks fine, my hands sweat a lot so I wore gloves the entire time, made install a pain in the ass. Customer almost went with dead matte black and I'm so happy he didn't, I hate matte black wrap with a passion.
You know everyone will want Vanta Black if it ever becomes available as a paint (probably not as wrap). But I can see the gov nixing Vanta because of low visibility at night.
Kinda silly how the SAME GUY who is saying that finger prints smudge and mark is the SAME GUY who keeps touching the surface more than anyone else! smh
So...if you know it stains and scratches... Why does no one have gloves on? Why are all of you in shirtsleeve shirts? Why do you keep touching it with your bare hands?!
Found this video while trying to find a cheaper way to change the color of a silver car to matte black. I haven't watched much as of posting this fyi and I'm planning to put some color or an additional wrap over the matte black. Advice is welcome
Hey bro i need a help I’m going to buy the new G63 Mercedes 2021 so i want to know which color you advise to me (( Black obsidian Metallic )) or (( balck )) or black matte ?
Matthew Grimm he does one every 100k subs. Read the video description. I heard good things about seven wraps in southampton PA. No first hand knowledge though and that is the most important.
I got a question if you don’t want your customers doing that color than why not take it out from the samples that way they won’t know about it to begin with. ?
I think they always make suggestions but at the end of the day they have to do what the customer wants and its good for the customers to have options bc they may really want matte and not satin and if they just didnt offer the super chalkboard matte then the person who really wanted it would probably go somewhere else
zagitariuz zodiac hate to say it but because of the properties and cost of vantablack it’s difficult to turn into a wrap. it’s not a pigment, it’s a structure, it won’t stretch like a pigment in a wrap it will dull as you stretch it most likely
Well I'm not a professional but I'm trying to get into that as a career. I've done my own vehicles, practicing on other stuff. Considering doing a car from someone for free or like 200 bucks/cost of materials solely to get more practice and build a portfolio
Get at me on IG, I'll show you the quality (the good and my shortcomings) on my recent wrap lol. It was a bike, which as far as I've ever heard are way more difficult than most non-exotic cars
Michael Hill id def give you a chance bro with the dedication you have bro your gona make it far in life I don’t got a ig yet making 1 for this bbq gig hit me up at jayrotary84@gmail.com I’m in the so cal area
I'm still trying to get my wrap job completed correctly from a local shop. have had my car in the shop a couple times but still going back again when winter's over to correct the known issues. I have Avery Satin Rushing Riptide, would you recommend applying something like ceramic-pro to protect the wrap?
gthoh with this. I wrapped my car and i look after it just as i did when it was OEM paint. And theres no considerable difference as long as you wipe it down regularly like i do anyway.
The title said it all. I don’t understand why people insist on wrapping their cars like this I mean I’ve seen Tesla’s with this matte black and they look like absolute shit. Like cmon man you really going to take a $40k+ car and make it look like it has unpainted ABS plastic bumpers lol. That wrap is good for little things tho like emblems or chrome deletes even. But I’m not a wrapper
I didn't understand it either but it is good for some for a couple of reason. It protects the actual paint and is reversible to the original color. It can be cheaper than painting. It looks custom and is which is probably the biggest reason.
This is why you should wrap with proper gloves 🧤 🤦🏻♂️ not saying matte isn’t a difficult material but if you install with gloves, use shield guard for the squeegee, wipe clean and immediately ceramic coat you’ll be good to go.
👍 + shouldn't use a torch when installing matte...prob the easiest way to add glossy spots to the film...the two guys actually wrapping the car were using heat guns, so you could tell they know what's up. But then when inspecting the wrap, out comes the torch...and that'd only make matters worse for the end result...
Y’all should get a junk yard hood and wrap it, and keep it in the shop. So you can physically show people
That's a really good idea! 👍
That's some amazing customer service/knowledge right there. Very admirable of all you guys to know and not want to deliver a sub-par wrap

I didn't know you could ceramic coat vinyl!
Found this video while trying to find a cheaper way to change the color of a silver car to matte black. I haven't watched much as of posting this fyi and I'm planning to put some color or an additional wrap over the matte black. Advice is welcome
For you guys saying remove the option he probably keeps that on to pull in customers then gets them to use another option because so many want it.
Hey bro i need a help I’m going to buy the new G63 Mercedes 2021 so i want to know which color you advise to me (( Black obsidian Metallic )) or (( balck )) or black matte ?
Yoooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Good looking out! People need to know this, so thanks for sharing.
I have an idea, why don't we just wrap the black vehicle something other than black?
Anthony Hayden I was thinking the same thing. Why waste a few thousand dollars on the same color
You should have car fender samples of the blacks.
It’s good for chrome trim deletes only...
Liked and subscribed! I had my mind on a matte black wrap and now I’m thinking different. 💪🏼💪🏼
I like his honesty.
Would this be the same for the lighter colors of matte/satin finish
Like for example dark grey/light grey/battleship grey
If i want my car painted in vantablack would i have to buy the paint myself if the shop doesnt carry that type of paint?
Are you guys doing any wrap giveaways in the future? I need you to wrap my mustang i dont trust these people in PA lolol
Matthew Grimm he does one every 100k subs. Read the video description. I heard good things about seven wraps in southampton PA. No first hand knowledge though and that is the most important.
Giveaway at 300k
Check out InShane Designs. They've been less active on UA-cam as of late, but they appear to do good work.
markley02 I’ll check them out! I just bought a 2019 gt500
And I’m scared to take it anywhere lol
Premium Auto Styling Thanks for the reply I love your work I want you to wrap my brand new gt500 :)
shouldve been using gloves and less heat, thats completely your fault!
Id be inclined to listen lol if they told me satin was easier I'd go satin. I've had matte materials and yeah even an oily finger sticks out so bad .
I have a 2007 Nissan Maxima with a matte black wrap...how much and how difficult to have only the hood rewrapped?
How about satin vs gloss?which is easier to maintain?
Do you guys take the RANGE ROVER emblem off and on again? Or just wrap over it?
You are so honest! Bravo!,
12:17 Anybody think that those slaps were loud then realize it was material being taken off !?
Lol
I think paint jobs simply looks better. Gives this natural look. Its way cheaper to wrap than paint tho.
If the wrap that you are applying. WHY Not REMOVE it from your selection?? Do you charge more for this specific wrap?
C Angel I’m sorry are you trying to use logic? That doesn’t apply to this timeline apparently 😂
Did they move to a smaller shop?
We moved to a much bigger shop but our wrap room is now in its own garage section. If your even in California come visit us!
Octavio Chavez how much for a satin black wrap on an e60 535i
Good video, thanks. I like on a dirt road and want something that are practical, any advice ?
I got a question if you don’t want your customers doing that color than why not take it out from the samples that way they won’t know about it to begin with. ?
I think they always make suggestions but at the end of the day they have to do what the customer wants and its good for the customers to have options bc they may really want matte and not satin and if they just didnt offer the super chalkboard matte then the person who really wanted it would probably go somewhere else
Is there vanta black wrap? That will be awesome.
zagitariuz zodiac hate to say it but because of the properties and cost of vantablack it’s difficult to turn into a wrap. it’s not a pigment, it’s a structure, it won’t stretch like a pigment in a wrap it will dull as you stretch it most likely
That needs to get sprayed on. The prpblem with vanta imo is it looks like matte black felt skin... dont look good.. at least imo
Why not leave the wrap on until he sees it?
Trade some bbq for a wrap job on my 84 Mazda rx7
I'll take that offer
Michael Hill you do wraps aswell
Well I'm not a professional but I'm trying to get into that as a career. I've done my own vehicles, practicing on other stuff. Considering doing a car from someone for free or like 200 bucks/cost of materials solely to get more practice and build a portfolio
Get at me on IG, I'll show you the quality (the good and my shortcomings) on my recent wrap lol. It was a bike, which as far as I've ever heard are way more difficult than most non-exotic cars
Michael Hill id def give you a chance bro with the dedication you have bro your gona make it far in life I don’t got a ig yet making 1 for this bbq gig hit me up at jayrotary84@gmail.com I’m in the so cal area
But what if I or customer like or loves MATTE BLACK?I don’t really want shine.
if is not good for you, for my car is super, and its long lasting
Is Avery the same combo? Matte bad, satin good? Thanks
I done this to my z3 went non satin and the car disappears at night thats the point no shine
Is there a matte black paint job? Why wouldn't people opt for that instead?
Btw, great job with the customer service here. Great to see.
Does the "main guy/D Premium" look and sound like the guy from Obese to Beast?
What about not a whole car matte but racing stripes that are like 25% of the car (two wide ones)
I'm still trying to get my wrap job completed correctly from a local shop. have had my car in the shop a couple times but still going back again when winter's over to correct the known issues. I have Avery Satin Rushing Riptide, would you recommend applying something like ceramic-pro to protect the wrap?
where can I get my 2000 red celica wrapped, to white wrapped
If matte black is bad so I'll use satin black ?
FOR MATTE BLACK GET TURTLE WAX RUBBING COMPOUND AND BLACK SPRAY WAX AFTER
gthoh with this. I wrapped my car and i look after it just as i did when it was OEM paint. And theres no considerable difference as long as you wipe it down regularly like i do anyway.
The title said it all. I don’t understand why people insist on wrapping their cars like this I mean I’ve seen Tesla’s with this matte black and they look like absolute shit. Like cmon man you really going to take a $40k+ car and make it look like it has unpainted ABS plastic bumpers lol. That wrap is good for little things tho like emblems or chrome deletes even. But I’m not a wrapper
I didn't understand it either but it is good for some for a couple of reason. It protects the actual paint and is reversible to the original color. It can be cheaper than painting. It looks custom and is which is probably the biggest reason.
This is why you should wrap with proper gloves 🧤 🤦🏻♂️ not saying matte isn’t a difficult material but if you install with gloves, use shield guard for the squeegee, wipe clean and immediately ceramic coat you’ll be good to go.
👍 + shouldn't use a torch when installing matte...prob the easiest way to add glossy spots to the film...the two guys actually wrapping the car were using heat guns, so you could tell they know what's up. But then when inspecting the wrap, out comes the torch...and that'd only make matters worse for the end result...
