    been asked to do a repair on a front wing and door of a car which was damaged…
    are there massive variations in the matt black range when butted up?
    any experience in this area..?
    many thanks
    Cheryl

    I had a few samples from different suppliers. By no means the full range of mat black available and I would say from looking at them that there is enough of a difference that it will probably notice with a largish area.
    Same as other types of vinyl really. Having said that if the wrap was done some time ago you may have trouble matching it 100% anyway due to just general wear & UV exposure.

    Get a few samples Cheryl & see for yourself.

    Cheryl, what make is the car, a long shot but I believe ford did a focus wrapped from the factory,
    they were done with 3m.
