I am currently in the preparation stages of a bare metal paint job and I was considering
a Gun Metal Matt paint finish.
Talking with experts here in Australia I received a lot of negative feedback - Corners go
shiny with a car cover, bird crap unless removed quickly can leave stains, obviously any
panel damage = complete repaint - side or total.
A vinyl wrap can achieve the same result and is considerably cheaper, lasts about 5 years
but if garaged and covered and driven occasionally - 10 years.
Has anyone done this to their pride and joy?
As with anything, there will no doubt will be some issues and I would appreciate any advice
if you have been through the process.
Cheers,
