Metropolitan Detail F430 Matte Black Carbon full vehicle wrap
This customer wanted a completely custom look for his F430. This is what we delivered. A complete color change from Grigio Silverstone to flat black with carbon fiber accents and 3M Window Tint. When we got this car a couple of weeks ago we were determined to perform our installation better than any we have ever seen before. If there was a better way to do our installation, we were going to do it. This included removal of interior door panels, front and rear bumpers, headlights, marker lights, emblems, etc. allowing a perfect "wrap".
Here you see the unassuming car getting washed up.

WOW!!! Tell Benjamin he did an amazing job. It's safe to say...you guys outdid yourself this time. Keep up the good work.

looks very nice!! I'm not familiar with this type of products, so I'd like to ask a few questions,
1. I've been told that no prep work is necessary prior to applying the wrap,is that true?
2. What are the product manufacturer recommendations on how to care for this type of wrap? ( Matte Black) I assume normal car shampoo and some spray detailer or spray wax?

your work looks fantastic. nice job! the fake carbon fiber stripe and other bits look a bit gauche but you're just doing what the owner wanted so that's no fault of yours.

Looks great! Did you just wrap the side markers with carbon as well?
I would love to have the nasty red rear markers on back of my Aston covered up as well as the front yellow side markers.
