I am not a big fan of the frozen/matte look but the color and the detailed work done on the car is simply great. Like the blend of the paint with the front grill. Also like the wheels. VERY NICE!!!

Sinister looking! I honestly loved your car in the white though with the blacked out accents.

Me too. That's kinda the beauty of dipping it though - it'll be back to the white/black theme eventually.

Very cool looking. Is it hard to keep clean and maintain?

My dream was to own a matt black R8. Then, Stasis brings one (wrapped in matt black vinyl) to an Audi Club event at Summit Point Raceway, West Virginia. That is a very nice job you did. Looks great!

So, what do you mean that it will be back to white "eventuall". Does the black wear off? Can you take it off yourself?

You previously indicated that you "dipped" the wheels. Is that permanent?

I had a chrome three bar grille on a Ford Flex, that I tried to paint black using etching primer, clear coat, etc. But it is still chipping. Do you have a permanent solution?

Yup Jim, it peels back off. Think of it as a removal rubber based paint. It doesn't chip or break like regular paint - it lasts years.
