the time is coming very close to deciding which colour i want for the vx.

the paintwork is utter discusting on the vx now and i want something pretty mad and very standout ish for the new colour..

ive decided on wrapping it as its not permanent and i can see how the car feels in such a mad colour.

i can get the hexis wrap at cost and it wont cost me anything to put it on (my cousin will do it for me) so its really just a choice of what colour..

so these are the 3 choices



the one on the right actually looks more like this without the sun on it.



ive done a photoshop of the green a while ago but just to remind you.



does the colour work on the VX?

opinions.

Good quality vinyl that. Easy to work with as well.

I would go for the orange for the sole reason that your engine bay and door shuts will be utterly painful to look at in contrast with the green. Also, you'll never avoid seeing a hint of the body color in any panel gaps if you choose a color with high contrast.

Lastly, in areas where the vinyl is stretched a lot, it might become vaguely transparent and the color will apear different. I.e. darker, as the red shines through.

everything is getting taken apart and wrapped, which includes all inside doors etc..

in regards to the stretching, im getting a sample which im going to wrap the hardtop in so i will test this and see if i can make it transparent.

Cool. Just remember that any stone chips and scratches will also come out body color.

im wrapping the bottom half seperate just incase i do get some nasty stone chips on it.. but i was thinking about spraying it black before i put the green on so they are little black marks rather than red.

i could also not bother at all and just leave it but i desperatly hate my paintwork. look at the state of it
