For what it's worth I wrapped a friends 350z in flat black with 3m vinyl. Got 50 ft for around $450. It's held up fine so far, and his car sits out in the sun and weather every day.

Only complaint is that it's extremely hard to keep clean. Dust and **** settles on it when its not driven, gotta deal with people putting their greasy fingers all over it at car shows and in parking lots, and after any amount of rain it looks like ***.

Personally I'm not a big fan of how it looks either. Looks primered and unfinished to me. Flat black paint looks a hell of a lot better in my opinion. But hey to each his own.

All of you weight watchers out there, keep in mind the average wrap adds about 20-25lbs

Oh and for the doubters, the 3m is extremely forgiving. It's easiest to work with when it's real hot out Ive found. It's more pliable. I did a couple pieces per day and had it done in a week. Squeegees and heat are your friends, and an extra pair of hands or 3 makes it a lot easier.
