Default vinyl wrapping color choice

my black Z28's paint is really getting "old" looking. i live in an apartment and car is parked outside all the time. really hard condition for a paint job to last. so ive decided to vinyl wrap it, am torn between matt silver, military green or just satin black.

will this look good on fbody?


meanest camaro ive ever seen. am in love with this car. hes a member here and i would copy his car in a heartbeat

The first option would look sick, especially with some black wheels. Are you going to wrap it yourself, or pay to have it done. If the later, curious how much it would cost.

here in Dubai vinyl wrapping is VERY common. prices vary insanely due to the amount of materials available. we have lots of Chinese, Vietnamese etc.. brands.
i got quoted 300ish $ for some "x" brand material with a 2 years warranty and around 1k for quality material.

i am going to do it my self. i have practiced on many objects and feel confident enough to do it my self. am still undecided on color though.

this color is also an option

I still really like the 1st option you posted. Maybe it's just the Viper, but that looks so sick.

I helped a friend do his mustang in either matte silver, or matte aluminum, i don't remember which, and i really like that color.

I'm doing matte dark grey as an accent color on mine right now and it looks really good too. I've noticed both colors look lighter on the car than they did on the roll.

I'm temped with the blue wrap on my vert BUT I've really liked the silver. I've done some wraps myself and what I will say is buy much more than you need. You also have to have a heat gun.

For me though, I'd like the silver but in the FL sun it could bake the paint. Blue could be cooler in the sun. Only thing I would let a pro do is the front bumper on my TA.

I also did a plastidip before. Things have come a long way with that product.
