    Finally decided on the colour!

    Hi Guys

    I have been trying to decide on the color for my car for last few weeks and think I have finally decided. I think I am going to go for a brilliant red wrap after seeing those amazing pictures of the spyder for sale on this site.

    I really like white but its becomming a bit too common now. What do you guys think?

    Have you seen the red in person? To me its a bit "off" somehow, like its not quite deep enough? Maybe I am just comparing it to Ferrari red and I need to get out of that habit.

    If I were to wrap any car, I would do it in a color that was not even available for that specific make/model.....

    Can I ask how much something like that costs? And how long does it last?

    Really depends on the shop and the material, but count on starting at 3k. And the material used goes a long way in determining how long it lasts, along with conditions you drive in.

    Thumbs up Re: Finally decided on the colour!

    Xactly L8R8...matte jet blue would be a hit... ...IF you wanted to have a "REALLY" different color. Would take big kahoneys to do though. I am soooo tempted. Will enter some car shows as it is, first. Why not go for a color that NOBODY else has-------Mettalic Matte something.(is there even a matte wrap with mettalics in it??)

    I am tempted to go for something truley unique like lambo orange or green. Have the car booked into to be wrapped January 10th so have a few weeks to decide for sure on the color.
