Default I know a few of you won't like this............

However it's a perfect cross between our Laguna Blue Vette and our Plum Crazy Charger SRT. Frankly I think it's a great looking car. I know it's not shiny, but it's a break from the normal colors.

Looks good to me! I wouldn't choose it over my Laguna Blue but it's an attention getter and the black wheels and rear end go well with it.

I am guessing its a wrap. Stingray Chevrolet had one exactly like this on the showroom floor when I bought mine. They said it was a wrap. the entire car has to be disassembled to put on the wrap. Not sure I would like that at all.

Glad you like it. To each, his own. Don't care for the color or the matt finish. But, that is just me. I will say, it is unique and going to turn some heads.

Not bad... The availability of an OEM satin/matte color would be nice, however, it would probably an expensive option. Lamborghini charges $14k for that option on their Aventador. Even half that would be cost prohibited for most. Although it might minimize the Chevy orange peel.

Edit: not comparing a Aventador to a Vette...

This old gear head likes it. Unlike all the usual Corvette colors like Red, Black or White you won't see one of these.

Nice job.

Seriously....I like it! 1:1 version of a "Hot Wheels" model. The color is great.

Looks like a good wrap job but the color is not to my liking.

So, how long does it last on the vehicle and how difficult is it to maintain?

Beautiful wrap job but the color is a little too flamboyant for my liking. Makes me think it belongs to RuPaul. It'd be a hit at Mardi Gras.

I like it.

If my interior was not red I would have plasti dipped the car a similar color, matte orange or green just to try it out.

I like it....and be assurred you will get lots of compliments.

It is unique. It's a head turner.

Hope the wrap holds up under the environmental conditions.
