Are you going vinyl or paint. If you are going vinyl you can't get wax on it or will be hard to remove, is what i was told from Bob White that sells them. Not sure about paint but they can spray clear over flatblack.

it'll be vinyl. i was looking at rocky mountain graphic's super stripe because apparently their flat black vinyl is a high quality, 8 year vinyl. getting wax on them is a concern, but i'm usually pretty careful when i wax, so i'm not too worried

on a side note, does anyone know if that 'turtle wax: ice' would leave any residue on flat black; i know it doesn't on any plastics.
