to wrap or not to wrap?

templarklimek · 07-20-2014, 02:25 PM

Gents,

In my folly I sold my 11' M3 and six months later lusted after another. I had a M235 on order but the day it came in the dealer had just got in a 13' M3(stripper) with 6K miles on it. I snap it up instead of M235. Only issue is I'm not such a fan of white.

I was thinking of getting a gloss metallic dark grey wrap. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to bling out my M3, please help.

Thank you.

Look, it's your life and all, but you should really wrap up. You don't know what kind of terrible, nasty things are out there.

the frozen or flat colors look good, thank you for posting. Any thoughts on what a gloss metallic grey would look like. I'm afaird it may look funny as it wont have the rich luster of paint.

Go talk to a wrap shop and look at some samples in person.. That'd be your best bet
