Hey guys, I've been considering wrapping my Seal Grey 996TT for a while now, I've just grown bored with the color. I have a decent amount of experience with wraps, as well as a trusted installer that I've used before (no paint damage after removing, etc), but I wanted to throw this out there to see if anyone coming from a different angle than me suggests a color combo that perhaps I haven't thought of.

As of now I've narrowed it down to satin black with neon green calipers and accents (ala the silver 914), a bright blue, or maybe a satin white. I want the car to stand out and look exotic without being gaudy. I've added a pic of what my car looks like now, as well as examples of the colors I'm considering. I'm open to any suggestions!

 

It all really comes down to personal preference with color. Personally, I would avoid matte colors as they tend to dull down the great lines of the car.

 

I did matte white. Be aware, if you do flat white and run an open exhaust, it turns brown. It's not cleanable.

 

Nice, I like that flat white, it turned out great. I know color is all personal preference, but I'm just opening it up to suggestions just in case someone throws something out that I haven't thought of yet.

I won't go totally flat/matte, I've done it before on other cars, but it's not the look I'm going for right now. The closest I would get to that is satin because it'll still have some sheen to it but look different than most cars on the road.

 

I've toyed with the idea of a satin white wrap for over a year, but have yet to pull the trigger. I can't decide if I'd get bored in a few months or not.

Other considerations are a pearl white gloss or pearl white satin (has a little bit of an off-white hue, similar to Lamborghini's Baloon White) or a gloss Nardo Grey

 

That balloon white Lambo is extremely nice. I like the idea of that

 

lol for $3k a wrap i dont give a sh*t how bored i got i'd keep the white for a good long while

in fact, i'd like a matte or yeah, better satin white meself.

 

Exactly, which is why I don't want to pull the trigger until I'm sure. Pricing is about $2K around here for a very good job if you know who to go to

 

Thought about taking mine off already because I miss having paint to shine. But everytime I see silver, I know how much I hate it. Lol. White is just the color for these cars. And to clean a wrap car is so easy it's crazy. Besides the exhaust soot :-/

 

I wonder if coating the wrap with something like OptiCoat would be helpful in being able to clean the exhaust soot

 

Im actually thinking of doing black chrome. I hate most of the chrome wraps but the black version is a little less garish. Who knows though

 

Yeah I looked at some of the matte chrome options because they were less crazy (like you were saying). Problem is the price on any of the chrome wraps is at least double, and I guess the material is difficult to work with/less durable.

 

It isnt Nardo Grey, is Grigio telesto

 

wow, good price! i paid almost 1k just to partial wrap mine recently. for 2k i'd have gone white all around.

certainly, not i! lol. but i think your use of the word "garish" is a dictionary definition of that pic! yikes. but again, it's always a personal choice.

 

next step is to try a magic eraser.
