How's the maintenance been on it so far? I agree with you on the matte paint jobs being a BIATCH to keep clean, ask me how I know!!

the vinyl could be bought for probably 800$, its all the labor.

Maintenece has been fine. Washes up easy, does scuff at all. I was dragging stuff across the hood to show someone the other day, they were shocked it was scuffing. Your truck looks wicked badass, but I do not envy having to care of that paint lol

Could be worse, its not like its your daily driver. I see these people cruising around in Hyundai veloster turbos and cant help but to laugh at how horrid they look with improper care.

That looks killer B, you nailed the color choice man (coming from someone who normally HATES matte).

As far as this as a low cost alternative to paint... buddy of mine is having a rcsb re-painted, the right way, and I believe he has about $7,500-$8,000 wrapped up in it. That's not to say paint jobs can't be found for cheaper... but just remember you get what you pay for.

Would look badass. There are a few spots where the wrap has bubbled and peeling, but they said they will fix it no problem. So we will see what happens

gmfs is a lost cause. PT.net or CGm.com is where I spread my wings
