Once upon a time, primer gray was the only flat finish you'd see on the road. It was only acceptable for vintage cars of a specific style, or an indicator that the car's owner was short on cash. These days, however, your friend with the matte gray ride is more likely to be the guy with the best job — or, at least, with a car obsession.
In the last decade, more and more vehicles have become available in matte finishes, with manufacturers offering these as premium options alongside pearlescent or metallic paint jobs. Marques like BMW and Mercedes have created special-edition paint colors with names like “Frozen White,” and they’re charging extra — even though you can have a matte finish on your Hyundai Veloster too.
Taking a cue from these carmakers, DIYers and enthusiasts the world over are using whatever products they can to achieve the satin or matte-finish look. Until recently, this meant using a product like Plasti Dip®, but, as anyone who's ever used dip knows, spraying or painting your ride with one of these products is not only messy, but it can also take some time and practice before you get a clean, even coat.
Even if you spend the extra money to have your vehicle dipped by a pro, Plasti Dip® can peel off, ruining hours of work in seconds and effectively flushing wads of cash down the drain. Luckily for you, now there are other options.
The variety of matte vinyl wraps from reliable manufacturers like 3M™, ORACAL® and Avery® makes your options for vehicle customization, craft vinyl projects and other applications virtually endless. Let's look at what matte vinyl is, the different types of matte vinyl wraps available and the various applications.
Vehicle wraps are nothing new to the average consumer. Even those who haven't given a thought to vehicle wrapping are at least familiar with the ways vehicle wraps can promote businesses and enhance the appearance of personal cars. When it comes to choosing a vinyl wrap, however, many admirers soon discover that there's a significant difference in appearance and quality when comparing matte vinyl wraps to alternatives such as glossy vinyl.
While glossy vinyl is a great wrapping material for specific projects, it's typically a better fit for indoor applications. Its finish creates a glare effect when hit with light, and its smooth finish offers a fantastic appearance. Unfortunately, this material is more for show, as it's not durable enough to withstand the damage caused by impact. Touching a glossy vinyl film can leave smudges and fingerprints behind.
Thankfully, matte vinyl wraps don't present users with these problems. Matte film will not create a glare in natural or artificial light sources, including sunlight. It's also much more durable, providing any application with a reliable material that will stand up to the rigors of the outdoors. Matte vinyl wraps are also cost-efficient, as they can last for years, and many applications are easy to install for professionals and DIY users alike.

Even with the best available product, I found that wrapping my hood (2023 Challenger) is not a DIY project for me. After 2 attempts, the car is going to a pro to complete.
