Talking which colour wrap?

Ok guys need opinions, I am planning to do a full wrap for my Z, either coming or next week. Reason being first kind of sick of the paint quality of our cars with numbers of road chips/ swirls etc...second at times I feel the red colour is too flashy for me. Third and final it will keep the paint safe just in case I plan to sell the car in future.

The things I am considering are that colour should show the curves of the a bit and should go with the carbon fiber on the car, I will be having my hood this week and plan to keep it without wrap.

I am more inclined towards Matte metallic Grey, as I think I can leave the hood in CF and it might go with my wheels and CF on the car same time a bit confused on this and same colour in normal shiny finish.

Second option is either number 5 or 6 in that case will foil the hood as well

And rest of options are there, but would like to hear some opinions.


1. Matte Metallic Grey more like frozen sliver of M3



2. Shiny Grey
same as above buy normal shiny more like stock PG Z, I have the sticker sample and I feel close to this colour


3. Shiny Dark Grey (slightly darker then PG Z)


4. Satin Black


5. Pearl matte metallic White (its a matte but with shiny bits)


6. Normal white shiny sticker same as any Merc or Bimmer white

If you did this color you will probably have the hottest Z on the forum by far:



Its called Inferno Orange. I think it would make the Z (especially with your Amuse kit) look more like a Porsche than it already does.

My cost is close to 1k for the best quality wrap available here. The car is very new for me to get the paint changed. Another thing is I am really sick of having road chips and marks on the car so atleast that will be taken care of

Cant wait to see the results. When will it be completed?
Thats bad man, sorry to hear about that.

Mine will hopefully be done in a weeks time, as I will get the roadchips and some other marks filled with primer then wrap.

I thought about it a lot and all the orange shades I saw in Oracal wraps and some other the shade was not that good. So kind of settled for white, will look nice with Amuse kit and a custom hood

I wouldn't do it on a daily driven car, but if you are going to do it anyways, consider the carbon fiber di noc material. An all carbon fiber look will be unique.

Its done on every second car and if you have normal CF I think Di noc is overkill, had it on some parts of my G for last two years so a bit tired of the look

Again as I said its done on lots of cars here, though it looks really nice on the bimmer, and another thing is it looks nice when done new with time dark matte colour looks really bad. When have really hot weather here for 9 months a year

Im also worried about the shine of CF because im going to have alot of CF accents. I was just giving you a hard time im not 100% on the Matte Silver yet because of this. I hope to have all my body parts and new wheels soon. Im hoping in the next 2 months to have it completed.
