What PPF Color?!

Mr812toU · 01-29-2025, 06:59 AM

Looking to do reverse wrap on car half way up all around. What colors do you think would go well with Brooklyn Grey. I’m stuck on deciding color scheme!

Personally, I don't think there is a good body line to do a different top half on. I'd leave it.

We wanted to do bottom half all around. Don’t think it would be good?!

I don't think it has a clean line to use for separating the top and bottom. Usually cars where this looks good have a long straight line running all the way down the vehicle to use as a dividing line.

Agreed, I think it would look terrible.

I agree. Stek stealth wrap the whole thing. I went with that over my black i7 and couldn’t be happier

I like that approach using either Stek or Xpel's Stealth and use shiny black PPF on the black trim. Also put clear PPF on your headlights.

Your truck had a strong straight line to follow, and that's why it looked good. Your X3 does not.

Seriously, take some painters tape and mark where you think the line would go and you'll see just how bad it will look.

Agreed with Blkgs. Reason works on your truck because it has the extended bed. Just imagine the rear portion chopped off, so you still think it looks good?

On the other hand, beauty is subjective, there’s no right or wrong. It’s your car, you don’t need anyone’s approval to do what you want to do with it.

If it were my car, I'd do the body in Stealth wrap and the body-color section of the roof in gloss black (to match the sunroof and roof spoiler) using the line from the roof racks to to the spoiler as the transition line.

Understood.

I can’t find a good color I like anyway so clear we will more than likely do🧐
