Wrapping my car, what color should I do? I can't decide!

Sticky4l · 12-31-2014, 08:22 AM

Okay, I can wrap this thing any color I want, my business wraps cars as well as printing, signage and fixtures. So I have seen everything, I do not want a matte color or any gold or chromed (I mean I have to drive this in the real world) but when you can do anything it's hard to decide. And not a fan of bright and flashy...

I forgot to mention white is my favorite car color, so I am leaning toward a lighter color. I just want to change it up for now.

Oh did I mention I will powder coat the wheels! Trying to decide on that as well, maybe dark tint, matte textured dark grey or gloss black????

Any input will help!

Here is the car

Here is the number one contender, gloss light grey

Here is the color I was going to do

Thanks to R1 Motorsport for taking the guess work out of seeing the color come to life!!!!

Something similar to Yas Marina Blue would look nice with the black detailing on your car and with the wheels powder coated black imo

What wheels do you have? They look nice and aggressive.

I like the frozen bronze look if you can manage to do it. It's stunning every time I see it.

Where is your shop located?

Niche monoblock. Very aggressive. I need to run camber to make them fit.

My shop is in Montreal canada

I'm thinking Maybe you'll have to Photoshop some ideas. There's a Pearl white posted here but I think it's matte? I think really wrapping the car is gonna make your car flashy no matter what color you do.

ARKONE · 01-01-2015, 07:10 PM

Satin White Pearl for that frozen look. If you already have a white car just get that matte vinyl and do the entire car including rear lights. It gives your a hazy look that is just damn sexy.

FeckinSpaceman · 01-01-2015, 07:41 PM

I love white too and your car looks sexy as is....so don't go white again. This is your shot to do something unique and flashy, right.

I love the gloss light gray! I would vote for that.

Although, I would love to see an orange F10 too....either burnt orange pearl style or say ftw and go gloss fire orange.

Do something we don't get to see! You can always change since you work there

@sticky4l @Sticky4l is the gloss light grey by Avery dennison? I think the gloss will look better than matte for sure.

Light grey. You can't see?

Noggie · 05-09-2015, 10:54 AM

I'd look at something similar to Imola Red II if I was wrapping my car.

The light grey would not have been my choice. Looks too much like Alpine White. I would have gone with something more unique.

lsturbointeg · 05-10-2015, 07:52 PM

spyroz · 05-10-2015, 08:02 PM
