Wrapping matte paint

[tgclowes]

Odd question, tried to find the answer but I might have been asking the wrong question of google.

Basically there's a car I like but it has matte paint (factory). Not an issue as I will be wrapping anyway. My question is, is matte paint wrapped ok like the usual gloss paint finish? I assume so but just wanted to double check.

Cheers!

With clear over base colours the base coat (the colour coat) dries matt & the lacquer protects it & provides the shine. Unless the lacquer has a matting agent added.
Assuming the outer face of the wrap is shiny I'm guessing that using a clear wrap over yours would have much the same effect.

Forgive my ignorance but I'm not quite sure I understand your response? The wrap I'll be putting on the car will be another colour as opposed to a clear wrap as you mention?

Ah. I thought you might be looking at applying a clear wrap to make it a shiny car of its original colour rather than the matt.

I'd suggest you look for a wrapping firm that's done one for tech advice.
Can't make any recommendations as to who that would be but perhaps someone else might be able to.

Robbie at Valet Magic should be able to answer your question.
