Opinions needed: Stay black or vinyl wrap blue?
I have been debating with myself whether or not to wrap my car with 3M matte blue metallic vinyl. I absolutely love the color, and I like being different, but I just dont know how good it will (or wont) look on my car.I ordered a sample of the vinyl and I like it in person too, just havent seen it on a car in person. I've owned like 3 black cars, and Im just tired of it, I think it might be time for a change. What do you guys think? I can do it myself and the material will cost about $500. I have a bunch of small dings and scratches to repair too before the vinyl goes on.
My car now- (I have some different wheels waiting to be installed when I get home, gunmetal color)
Examples of matte blue metallic wraps (from google):

I would also do some 3M DiNoc CF accents on the gray parts of the Aspec lips. Plus I already bought anodized blue valve stems and caps, neo chrome lug nuts, and a blue powdercoated IM cover... That was before I started second guessing the blue color. Im probably going to do it anyway, I like projects that take a lot of time and dont cost a hell of a lot. Please just be honest about whether you think it will look good or not

Thanks for that pic ^^^ it just seems like theres something "off" about it though- it might be the amber reflectors or the wheels. I think matte blue would look better with black wheels- but Ive already got gunmetal... Im definitely not plasti dipping my car. Maybe if I still had a civic

Hello everyone! I don't get on this forum very often, but I thought some of you guys might like to see this. I spent the last 2 weeks vinyl wrapping my RDX (in my spare time).
First time I have ever done a wrap, but it came out really nice. Took close around 35-40 hrs to complete.
Original color was Carbon Grey Pearl. New color is 3M Matte Blue Metallic.
