Its a metallic matte gray and looks very aggressive but with so many cars doing the matte or "flat" look does it take away the Aston Martin appeal?

The car was wrapped before being displayed at the SEMA Show, don't get me wrong the job is top notch and most people think its paint; even close up. Here is a photo... looking forward to some feedback.

Who and where did this wrap.
I love it. I may want same or similar on my 2009 AM DB9.

Vantage has some harder lines & better supports a matte wrap....although not my personal preference. Too many 3-series/WRX equivalents in my area with matte.

DB9/DBS, a matte wrap blends away the subtle curves and I think takes away from the lines of the car. Much prefer no matte on this model.

Although I prefer non matte on AM's, I also like unique, and you've certainly got that in your wrap....and will have less when going to black (from a guy with black).

Wheels not my thing.

I say drive it until you want a change, then unwrap for AM Black....and be sure to add a clear bra before rolling out of the shop!...experience talking here. Rock chips show up quickly on a black AM.

+1 on the garage queen comments. Use it & Enjoy!
