Default Ultra white with matte black roof, matte black full lower lip and dechrome wrap

Saw a post a while ago about someone asking about matte on the roof and it was finally a good day to make a shoot with the wrap I had done. The installer said it's matte black (and not flat black), but the more I look at it the more it seems to be satin black because of the very slight shine. Roof is matte, side windows are gloss covering the rubber as well, front chrome is matte matching my own design for the lower lip in matte.

Looks good! It definitely looks to be a satin as it has a slight sheen to it. I had a car wrapped in satin black, and I always describe the look as being dipped in oil.

Looks pretty cool. But the problem here is that you visually shortened the bumper and still sitting on stock springs, so the car looks higher than stock. The idea of a black lip is to make the front look lower, not the other way around. But to each their own.

I like the top , but for the lower lip I prefer it to be the same color as the whole body

Love the roof. Now u got me questioning going gloss black this weekend. Already bought the gloss black antennae cover so I might have to go that route.

Did they have to pull the antennae cap to do the roof right?

no, but I plan to pull the antenna soon to make sure it doesn't pull up there.
