Matte gray?

hey guys! Iam thinking about getting my camaro, g550 and SLS matte gray! i found the best deal around here (or at least i think its a good deal) at a shop and they are charging me 2000 for each! now i heard about if hte matte is being expose to the sun could affect the paint of the vehicle.. any truth to that? i live in florida so you get the idea lol anybody here have experince with matte cars before? btw only the SLS is kept in the garage

Why would you do every car the same color? That's kinda boring.

if they were all the same car and same color I could understand the boring.. but different cars same color? after having AGM i wouldn't mind the same on future cars.. something about that dark look...

I'll give you a better deal, just give me the SLS and I'll do your other two cars for free! And that's a one time offer folks! But really I would do three different colors. If I was going to put a matte finish on any car of mine I would do a color that stood out like a blue or green. But if that's not your style then you could do one of them grey, one black, and one white.

That sounds awful cheap. You usually get what you pay for. I wouldn't be gambling with cars like those.

WTF 7000? Might as well just paint it and save some money.

A paint job would be another option. My young boy had his Camaro painted he didn't want to go the wrap route. I like the painted Camaro. Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1372389528.167744.jpg

Only downside to a matte paint job is that you can't polish/buff scratches out.
