Matte black car wrap?

I'm thinking instead of getting a whole paint job... why not get my car wrapped in matte black... seems like the popular thing to not kill resale value. I've seen it on many exotics. Any idea how much this would be and where in the MD area I could get this done? Here some pics

Most of them are advertisement wraps.

But I'm pretty sure that they can do solid color wrap as well.

I saw an IS350 here in Atlanta that was wrapped matte black. I thought it was paint until I saw the car on the web from a company that does this sort of thing.

And for those of you curious about washing. Just wash it like a regular paintjob. The vinyl is resistant to most things; eventually it will fade in the sun, but that takes years. what would be annoying are rock chips that may penetrate the vinyl, then you can see the stock paint underneath.

It's waterproof, so you could just wash it like you would regular paint. Is that what you were asking?
