playing with some plastidip.
All orange or orange with black bird would make it disappear back into the bumper and not be so much of a distraction
You guys should check out dipyourcar.com forums if you are interested. People are using custom flakes and way crazier stuff than this out of the box dip.
I did my truck in a custom pearl and will be doing my camaro trying to reproduce the cts color "Thunder gray chromaflair".
EDIT: They even have gloss out now so you can do satin or more glossy applications, and they said they will be coming out with a full gloss like a paintjob soon.

If you do it yourself, you're only expense is the vinyl, heat gun, and other basic accessories (razors, knifeless tape, etc). Which isn't much more than the plastidip + sprayer and accessories.
Vinyl will be more durable in the long run, lasting 5-7 years (good brands), provides paint protection, and feels nicer to the touch.
that said.. I'll probably be ordering some plastidip in the near future lol. got a color picked out, think it'll look pretty nice on the car for a little bit.
Well i havent had it on but a week and it is all ready fading. Yeah i may try the koi orange it is supposed to not fade.Kinda dissapointed it is fading this fast.

Verdad Gallardo lol. no sir! a quality wrap job will run in the thousands (by quality I mean a job where trimming and all is removed, as well as some body parts so that the material can be applied everywhere properly, including the jambs... just like a quality paint job). Material alone will run 250-500 or so depending on the brand you go with, the color/finish you choose, and how much you end up needing. if it's your first time using it you'll probably make mistakes and need to use more material than a person who knows what they're doing, so that adds up.

well, thats what i was quoted, I live in middle east so the prices are totally different so are the materials. am pretty sure most of the stuff here are Chinese but honestly if it would last me 2-3 years at a price of 350 i would b happy. Ive seen cars done but that shop and it looked pretty decent, although they were mostly black and golden.
The best base coat if not using black is gunmetal gray.
We had a coat of orange under the white. It mIght not work good spraying it on the car first i gotcha.Thanx for the update didnt know that.Went ahead and deleted that post thanx.

is it durable enough to last you 2-3 years?

oh hell no...well depends. your AC compressor dies..goodluck finding Fbody AC compressor. long tubes, exhaust parts bla bla are all not available for Fbodys. on the other hand, engine parts like LS6 intake for 50-80$ that you cant beat 
Plasti dip sells for 30$ a can. while it runs for 4-6$ in USA. that sucks.
