choosing new wrap colour
time to retire my frozen silver look, as wrap been damaged on most of the panels, by idiotic pedestrians who took pictures on car's bonnet and cutting wrap through during their "slide off", drivers who cannot park, etc
i know it is a personal decision everyone has different taste, however i want something unique, but at the same time stealthy looking, so it does not bring unnecessary attention from police. I was already 100% sure that i am going to do gloss lambo/audi grey. I know many people have it in US on their m5's, but in UK it would be a unique m5. so i have started reading about opticoat, etc and remembered the time when my car was gloss SSII and how anal and ocd i am about all the swirls/scratches, etc. I should not care about wrap, as it already protects my paint from stone chips and all the possible marks, however i want my car to look perfect for my eyes all the time, so i kinda got away from idea of having gloss wrap so now i am thinking to try and find exact same colour as lambo grey, but in satin, if anybody knows the colour code i need, would appreciate your help. i am also thinking about other dark satin colour options such burgundy red, bronze, brown, etc BUT no way i am wrapping in any shade of SATIN BLUE, as it is the mainstream colour in uk in ideal world i would go some crazy colour like frozen orange/red/green chrome, but last thing i need is attention from police with my set-up any other unique, but stealthy ideas?

lamborghini grigio titans (matt)
or lamborghini grigio telesto (gloss) For something different, how about matt/satin porsche amethyst or bmw techno violet? I saw a Java Green GC on the M1 m'way a few weeks ago - lovely, but also highly conspicuous, so def. ill advised with RPi. Last edited by Dionysus; 07-15-2015 at 07:06 PM.. |
