I wrap cars for a living and to be honest its all about preference, and what colour car you have. My fave is matte black, its a bit more durable than other wrap colours but carbon HAS come a long way since it was introduced and i dont mind it if its on the right coloured car. Check out the Hexis range or the 3m range, try to get a few samples sent to you, and hold them on the car. Remember, if youre doing it yourself, it will need to be heated to about 85 degs after application.
