Default I Want To Wrap My Car!

Ok so like it says I want to wrap my car as I think it would like nice and it will also protect my car against paint chips and most of all it will be different. I'm thinking of either matte black, red gloss a little different than riviera red, a dark ocean blue, or a pearl white which he has, I have never had white so not really sure. Tell what you think with those choices. I will have pics of the color chips tomorrow when I go to my guy.
Ok so I'm also thinking of wrapping the interior aluminum in the brushed black aluminum which I have pics of. Sorry forgot that one, if you think I shouldn't do it she comment.
Black Brushed Aluminum.

Don't do it, but if you must pick chrome like the Aussie LFA.

Why ruin a nice car, wasting big bucks in the process?

If you insist on doing this, I would choose a color wrap unavailable off the lot as a factory paint job. But that carbon fiber would be too much, and that blue is intriguing. What is you gut telling you? Any other considerations?

I would agree with not picking a factory color. I guy in Brooklyn has a nice BMW M3 in white and wrapped it in bright matte purple. at first I thought it was silly but it is very unique and he likes it. Purple calipers and all. Lettin it all hang out, to each his own and variety is the spice of life and it makes for good conversation.

when it comes to wrap you really get what you pay for. Alot of the cheaper routes produce a good 10 footer wrap, meaning the car looks excellent from 10 feet away, but when you get closer, you notice all the relieve cuts, where the corners are peeling etc... To each their own they say. To answer your question though I would probably go with the black or blue since the other colors are kinda oemish
