flat black/matte black boat wrap
So ive told some people i do vehicle graphics, well matte black looks awesome on cars and i think im going to wrap the boat in matte black, i havent been able to find any pictures of people doing it yet has anyone seen a matte black boat wrap yet? im thinking of doing that with a glossy metallic blue and silver over the black to match the engine build.

Looking forward to seein your stuff.
A look I've always been fond of but have never used on a boat is a combo of matte black background with gloss black on it. Subtle and understated, but maybe not!

The matte black might be a bit too bland, check out the rat rods as they go for the "suede" look. It was done by putting a semi gloss clear over the flat black primer/ filler. I would also look at the mopar muscle cars as they have alot of specialty colors with textures to them, plus they did alot of double and triple blacks and had a dark blue with the flat black.
