Not what I was expecting. This can also be compared to the $100 roller paint job.

Keep in mind, all of this is removable pretty easily. The whole flat black thing isn't for everyone. I love it on exotics, the more expensive the car the better it looks in flat black.

Wow, i'm with the TS on this. A vinyl covered car will probably be functional (less rock chips) and be cheaper than painting the car with a $6000 paint job.

To do it right, your probably looking at, at least $500-1000 in materials.
About rock chips and such. Typically the rock chips do tear the vinyl. So you'd have to put a small patch over the area, but most of the time the vinyl takes the brunt of the rock chip and theres not as much damage on the paint itself.
