A graphics professional that we know bought a brand new sporty car in beautiful bright red paint, and immediately brought it to us to wrap with flat blue vinyl. Indeed, the opposite seems to be a trend around here. I totally agree on the gloss on that Caddy. After he was finished, we would wander around and sometimes watch other pro's installing wraps.
