Default Color Change

Hey there, Been a while! Thought I would reach out to the community for a little dilemma: After 17 years, I have grown tired of the silver. What are some good color options for a wrap?

Was playing with AI and generated some different colors. Not set on any of them (probably wouldn’t do purple even though it looks really cool).

Thanks!

It's your car, so your choice. Happens that not that long ago I saw a red Vette with some strategic pin striping. Might want to consider that too.

I agree that it is a personal choice, but I wouldn't go with any of the standard factory colors.

Have you seen the photos of @StayinStock green GS? OMG, it is one of the best looking cars on the forum in my opinion. Now, you may not want to copy him exactly, but green is a color I would consider.

Oh, I just thought of something.... what color is the convertible top color? That might factor into what color wrap I went with.

Best of luck,
Jason

X 2. StayinStock (Andrew) has a gorgeous wrap that he installed on his car. Since he is in that business, I would highly recommend getting in touch with him for some of the latest colors/manufacturers that are available. Always good to pick the brain of an expert.

aww shucks, y'all gonna make me blush lol... I agree with everyone though, highly personal choice here. Go with what ya feel. Best way to get an idea is go to wrap shops and look at color books. Lotta good options out there. Also consider color change PPF if you want something that'll last a bit longer and be way more durable.

That orangish(?) red looks great. I'm not usually a purple guy, but that would definitely be my second choice.

Have you considered a lighter yellow color? It will grab some attention and look good contrasting with your black wheels and interior

Been thinking about stripes and that blue with white stripes is looking really good.

If i ever wrapped mine it would be in either orange, lambo or viper green, or maybe even a purple. I still wish I bought inferno orange when I was looking.

I'm a purple guy (just ask @PMPerformance lol) and I think the purple looks incredible, especially when choosing a non-stock color option. Second choice would be the orange.
