For $1200, it would be cheaper for me to drive to California for the weekend and have it done there! Hmm, highway 101..

Also see the attached jpg. You'll have to call him for pricing as I think every job costs different dependent on what he has to do and what you want stuck to your car.
Looks good. How much to wrap the scoop? Did he do anythig else. How is it holding up? I heard it water spots really bad. I was thinking of doing my Viper stripes in it and detailers who is very high end said he woudl not do it. Just use standard stripping. On my hood it would be covered in Venture Shield
but the roof and rear he said long term would not be good. He is going to quote me to do the scoop, head lights rings, mirrors and maybe door handles.

Very true. What many people don't realize is that applying a matte paint job is essentially the same process as a regular paint job - the only thing that's different is that a "flattening agent" is added to the clear coat to cut the gloss.

I have even used just an industrial flat black, from NAPA. No clear, no flatening agent, no real headaches. Just zipped it with the DA, did a quick hand sand with a block, and shot the paint. Quick easy cheap ($50.00) and it actually held up great until my buddy couldnt pay for the car anymore.
