Look into vinyl. It comes in all colors except for metallics.

vinyl would be the best bet for your "just been primered" look

Hm.. I can't wait to see this. West Coast Custom's did a two tone flat grey and flat black on a VW Touareg:

basically you wrap the entire car in a layer of vinyl to change the color...instead of painting it.

like what they put on buses to advertise for the latest greatest blockbuster smash... or those cars that advertise their ohso profitable at-home career. except this is in one color.
best part is when you get sick of having a flat paint job you can just tear it off like a promdress. yay same as the day you bought it original paint job.
you also get to wash your car with windex and paper towels if you so desire

does anyone know how much something like that would cost?

Depending on where you live and who does the job it can run between 2 and 3K. There is a new film out there that is seven year release W/O paint damage. Previous guarantee was only up to five.....

Does vinyl come in glossy black. Looking into vinyl wrapping my roof rail vent and possibly all silver trims. Seems like a better way to go about murdering out the ride without remorse.

Yes it does, my buddy had his roof done in a gloss black vinyl.

I'm wrapping my roof and mirrors with this.

^^

interesting.. i wouldnt mind wrapping my roof rails, gas cap in that. maybe even the black trim

 

[asherchy]

i understand the love of carbon fiber.. its sexy to look at... but if its not for strength or saving weight... whats the point? reminds me of a terrible car movie with lots of brightly colored cars n such...
but too each their own.... thats what makes the world more fun

 

[threezero]

i think wrapping some part of the car in carbon fiber can look good. the whole car is a little too much

some local work

Tt carbon 3m fil is pretty expensive but i heard there running a deal on it, not sure how much/ or how much you get but it sounded like a good deal when i heard it

 

[Chedman13]

that looks very nice
