Need help picking out a new color 1-4 you pick

Zombie1 · 09-16-2013, 12:10 PM

Hey whats going on gents and ladies. I'm going to wrap my car after winter comes and goes I'm looking for some input on what would be the best choice. My car is jetblack, I'm either thinking about putting a clear satin vinyl over it, or going crazy with a gallardo green color, I want my car to stand apart from the crowd. Cars my weekend car for the most part( I work construction and have a company truck) most of the time I'm to tired to pull it out and drive it during the week and when I do it's lucky to see 10 miles a day if that. So Im not to worried about getting "sick" of the new color.
So any help is welcomed I know this is more personal taste more then anything else.

Guys if you pick 4 please list your ideas...

bmw1racer · 09-16-2013, 01:58 PM

My suggestion would be to not wrap it.

Just looking for why you think that? Not worth it in your opinion?

cheshirecat79 · 09-16-2013, 02:06 PM

Matte wraps are all the rage right now. Have you thought about a two-tone setup, such as leaving the hood/roof/trunk black and wrapping the rest?

Not too sure how crazy you want to go with this.

Not too big on wraps... Just a fad, IMO... Like black wheels.

There is a very nicely wrapped e30 in a matte blue where I frequent. Next time I see it I'll snap a pic.

Definitely matte blue.

I say if going with a wrap go with something completely different then what most people are doing, color wise, and or any designs you have printed on it.. I'd suggest getting some kind of clear bra on the front bumper to protect it. Wraps look bad fast if they get pitted up... Also are you going to wrap inside the door sills and trunk area. If not it looks alittle cheesy when you open the door/hood. etc to see the different colors of OEM paint and the wrap color...

Chandon · 09-17-2013, 09:05 AM

Green, definitely would be something new and awesome.

MaDoNiOn · 09-17-2013, 10:07 AM

Frozen white

.

Mr Kleen · 09-17-2013, 10:39 AM

I'm rather fond of green myself.

Bronze would be my second choice.

There's a wrap that makes your base color look like a "frozen" color. It looks pretty cool and you won't see a different color in between the panels. When it's time to replace the green I'm thinking I'll go that direction.

FIRST1 · 09-17-2013, 10:57 AM

I need to see a Gallardo Green 1er. This will be interesting. *votes*

So Stealthy but so loud at the same time! Love it.. Yeah the satin one would be a clear film over the stock paint my brothers want me to do that and paint my brakes the gallardo green color

Zombie1 · 09-17-2013, 12:22 PM

Love it or hate it you'll be looking at it as it passes you

Zombie1 · 09-17-2013, 12:23 PM

One more

1Pirate · 09-17-2013, 02:27 PM

Yes you definitely can't miss that color!

one 35i · 09-17-2013, 03:48 PM

Saw a cherry red matte finish that was really nice!

I chose other. My reasoning is because I feel your interior color, wheel choice, and wheel color will have a huge impact on what color would compliment your vehicle and bring it all together into something unique. Otherwise you could just end up with a cluster fuck.
