Default Military Green C6

Black wasn't such a good idea for the Arizona desert. So I'm wrapping it in 3M military matte green. Should be done Wednesday.

I had to have missed a previous thread mentioning your project. What's the purpose of wrapping your Vette in green?

I work with "Olive Drab" every day. That's the LAST color I wish to see on any Vette.....Should be interesting! But, wouldn't white be more fitting vs the intense, searing Arizona heat in Phoenix?

And that my friend is all that matters. Your vette your dime do with it what you please. I think it should look cool. Best thing about wrap is if it doesn't rip it right off and start again. BTW what does a full wrap cost now a days?

I don't know that the matte OD will be much better than black with respect to sunshine and heat but I think I'm going to like the look! Post up pics when its done....good job!

Maybe the first Vette since I couldn't find any pics of one. I found an STI and an Audi though. The color change is because I live on a dirt road and bought a black car like a dummy.

No thanks. I don't get the whole matte thing. Looks like cheap primer.
