From all the responses, I figured I'd stop whoring up the pic whore thread and start a thread about my recent wrap. Reason for wrapping it - I really like my car and intend to keep it for a long time. I've had it since 09 and figured its time for a color change. I decided on a wrap over a dip because the dip can get everywhere in the cracks and it is really hard to remove off of hinges etc. I also decided I probably wanted a gloss look, and vinyl seems better at replicating that. I figured wrapping my car would also protect the paint; which is in great condition. My decision in picking a color was based on one that is not common to any S197 Mustang. I originally chose 3M Gloss Liquid Copper because it was very close to the Saleen super expensive custom color, Beryllium, which I really like:
I found a site that sells most wrap brands, Metrorestyling.com; and I started ordering samples of wraps that I thought I would like. I ended up changing my mind a lot. Some other colors I considered were:
Oracal Gloss Aubergine/Bronze colorshift:
3M Satin Ocean Shimmer:
Arlon Gloss Bloodbath Chrome:
3M Gloss Black Rose:
I finally came all the way back to the original choice, 3M Gloss Liquid Copper, and I'm glad I did. Pics to follow:
