Wrap Colour Ideas

[Martin.]

So if you could change the colour of your car to anything you'd like, which colour would you choose?

A close family member does wrapping for a living so it wouldn't cost me very much at all..

Thinking about a colour change on mine at some point and not sure what I'd like.

Considered storm grey and even things as lairy as the Kawasaki lime green.

There are a few red things on the car already so couldn't be anything that would clash toooooo much.

Also, need to consider that a wrap probably wont look as good as actual paint work.

What would you get?

 

[Kelv]

Pink, to make the boys wink... I think it would suit you

seriously, the storm grey could look quite cool.

 

[Martin.]

luminous pink lol

 

[Bluebeard]

Anything with a matte finish. Anything 'gloss' looks s**t.

Sonny's cup looks decent with the blue wrap, that's gloss isn't it?

3M Royal Matte purple. Epic colour.

 

[LiamR172]

racing blue, matte. But f**k keeping a matte car clease

Never heard of that?

Is matte hard to keep clean then lol? Only a track car anyway, so it spends most of it's life filthy.

Ahhh, Funnily enough this is similar to my cousin's car which he has just literally finished doing. Looks good on this but not sure if I could get on with it on the Clio though.

lol that smart car reminds me of the ribena advert!

 

[LiamR172]

I dont think its the easiest. Iirc you cant pressure wash it.

Probably have to be carefull with it and it would probably look shite if it was pretty dirty

 

[cat171]

I really wouldn't do it at all, most wraps look terrible. The ones above are prime example of that, the Smart car doesn't look as bad, I think mainly because it's a small car.

I never use a pressure washer anyway. Good old woollen mitt.

What's wrong with the above? You talking colour or condition?

Matt metallic blue

That looks bloody awesome.

Reckon red harnesses, stitching, and other small bits will work OK with a blue car?

 

[Knuckles]

Why not if not you can change it

Me and the gf were going to do it if we didn't like the colour of a civic we were going to buy. but we ended up with a nice bronze one... I suppose if could be on the cards if we get bored of it

it's an awesome colour

What about an All Carbon Wrap, they look good when done with decent stuff and not the Gippo wraps made in Slough.

 

[Martin.]

Nah, I don't really like carbon THAT much.

 

[cat171]

I just think that the majority of them look crap, the purple on those cars looks awful!

That M3 doesn't look that bad, I'm still not sure though.

 

[Harbinger]

Nah, I don't really like carbon THAT much.

All Gloss white looks good on a Clio, like that one that was in the sale section a while back, looked like it should have been made a factory color.
Matt colors only look good when new and very very clean, otherwise looks like they just haven't been washed in years imo.

 

[Martin.]

Russ' white race car looks awesome!

I'm not too bothered about it looking clean though to be honest.

 

[Harbinger]

Do a white one, make it nice and keep it clean, don't there has been a white ITB'd one yet?

182 shell with 172 running gear though from memory.

[Harbinger]

That's the one, that just looked like a factory car with black wheels, very smart imo

Don't forget you don't have to wrap your car in a solid colour, there's a so much you can do with digital print! Very easy for a designer to go over the top mind you. Generally the best fully printed wraps are the simple ones, and they're pretty much 3 times the price as a roll of vinyl! But..like you say you know someone in the business

Attached is something cool, I'm pretty sure its a digitally printed gradient onto cast chrome.

 

[Mr Plums]

Lamborghini orange looks nice.

Interested to keep an eye on this one! Work is paying for a few of us to do a wrapping course in the new year and I might wrap the new fezzy for a laugh!

Love matte grey cars, trying convince my mate to do it to his insignia vxr!

 

[Tomo 172]

I was looking and considering getting mine wrapped in the new year instead of getting it painted to freshen front end up. Was considering a gun metal grey or something similar untill i saw that Lamborghini orange

 

[Barwy]

You'll have fun at the course Tails, it's a good skill to pick up because it's always useful! Sticking big stickers to stuff is sometimes more complicated than it seems. Plus, if work's paying for it what's to lose

I design vehicle wraps at work and can fit them to a certain extent, I don't have anything on the pro's though

 

[Mr Plums]

These are supposed to be very good

[Barwy]

Here's something really subtle I wanted to do on my front end, just enlarging the black areas in matte black for a bit more impact

I actually tested a strip of vinyl, left it on for a bit, and when I removed it off came some lacquer! So small but you could tell it would turn into a complete nightmare if left on for a good 6 months. Shame.

Really looking forward to it! Its a bit of a weekend away for us too. Chapppers11 made a post about it not long ago, hence where I got the idea!

Heres the thread: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/show...rience-of-wrapping-Tuition-Day!&highlight=MDP

If anyone is interested, its MDP supplies and they do a days training every month for £95

Just checked it out and it looks like fun, you'll be looking at everything differently..."I wonder if I could wrap that". Next thing you know you'll be wrapping your kitchen cupboards!

The big industry leaders do wrapping courses too, but as you might guess it's all about selling their product as well as the training. Going with an independent firm you get un-biased info

If there's already red highlights it's got to be Alfa lava red, or similar.

 

[Martin.]

Lamborghini orange looks nice.

That is proper nice. Not sure how it would work with a Clio though.

They look awesome!! I thought the RR was a paint job at first. Makes me think that a gloss wrap will work fine now too.

Thanks for the link will have a little read now, that green looks awesome!

That looks bloody good too hmmmmmm

I think the colour I like most so far is that blue on the BMW.

Just looks stunning!

[Kelv]

that's looks fairly close to Estoril blue, within reason.

if you like the satin grey's, did you ever see the pictures of mine, and ash's old MK1 FRS's?
