Default Wrap Color Change - Opinions


What do you guys think of this wrap? It's satin sky blue/matte light blue.


My car is wrapped gloss white right now, Super Black underneath. I have a big roll of the same sky blue and it won't cost me anything except material and time to redo it. It wasn't the right color that I ordered so the manufacturer gave me a discount.

White looks good but I'm getting bored of it since no one can tell the car is even wrapped.

Yea or nay?

I like the blue.

Check out some of GenX350z's pictures. The color looks a little similar.

Agree, looks like his is gloss but it will be very close. Having something to work on will keep me faithful to the Z. lol

Sure, go for it. I think it looks good. It would look better if the color was a tad bit darker..

I think if you have the material and skill, why not. Not my first color choice and as you mentioned it's not yours, but I think the matte finish will make it look better than the gloss-wrapped one above.

Does the wrap effect the paint ? Would love to wrap mine in that white.

Looks ok, but I think if the blue was a little darker it would look better.

Wrap should not damage the paint if it's a decent paint job. If it's factory, you're fine or if the paint has been baked. It will actually protect the paint since the paint no longer sees UV rays and the vinyl will prevent some rock chips (not as thick as clear bra though). But sometimes, I've seen the vinyl lift the clear on aftermarket paintjobs that weren't prepped well. The vinyl is pretty aggressive, so if the adhesive on the vinyl is stronger than the bond on the clear coat...
