Diamond Black Exteriors wrap?

Anyone have any experience with DBX? Has anyone even heard of them?

http://www.diamondblackexteriors.com/

I'm thinking of wrapping my car and they have some great prices but I just heard of them yesterday so I don't know if the work is top notch.

It's between DBX and 90210 Wrap. DBX is $100 cheaper and local, but I would rather take it to somewhere with more experience with m3's and DBX has wrapped 0 m3's so I don't know

If you go to their Website, they have a video of them wrapping an e9x M3. It's the video with the picture of the X6.

IMHO Take it to 90210 Wrap, they are very experienced especially with BMWs, I know their featured on DUB, Rides magazine and a few other publications.

if your gna do it, do it right, especially over $100

90210 wrap for sure. Check them out at wewrapla.com
They did my roof in matte black and it came out flawless!
They are without a doubt the best in the business and have done 3 of the most popular M3's on this forum...

Do your research on wraps. There are tons of vendors, even a few here but not very many do it well.

The guy at DBX said that for a matte black wrap, 3M is not good. He said oracle or Avery? or something else is better? im not sure..he said it came out a few months ago. Does 90210 use ONLY 3M?

He showed me the difference between 3M matte black and the new material matte black and the new one is darker and stains less..

And I want to make it clear that I want matte black, not satin black I hate that shit.



This is the color I want, but slightly darker and the material the guy showed me was perfect.

btw this is satin black....

Really ugly IMO

the picture of the 6 is the oracal not matte

Oracal is Satin Black, 3M is the true matte black...looks much nicer and is better quality. Apparently oracal is known to be a cheaper material (based on my research before getting my wrap)

90210 said they also offer oracal but recommend using 3M.

Oh really? The guy told me that 3M is cheaper than Oracal or Avery

Is 3M the BEST for matte black? The M3 is 3m Matte? I wish I could go visit 90210 but I think its by appointment only

LOL, I'm sorry but i don't think the guy knows what he's talking about. Based on what I've read everywhere 3M is the best product in general, and avery is the worst? the M3 is 3M matte black, my car is also using the 3M. Give them a call, Im sure you can go to their shop and speak with someone, really cool people
