The Matte Pearl White is blown!

I am so tempted but then my friends are like, blah, white. I think it looks amazing in pics but haven't seen it in person yet. I also like the brushed metal wrap but don't want to go from gray to gray. :~p

(btw is blown good or bad? lol)

Lol, it's better than good.

I agree White is blah, but not Matte Pearl White. I'm thinking of wrapping my Black 1LE with it.
I think the contrast would work well together.

LOL ok cool. I'm getting old, you know!

We have similar tastes so I trust you. I think I'll talk to my wrap guys on Friday if they are in the shop. I want to see a swatch of the pearl white in person. I think I need some other stuff done too, like splitter, rockers, etc but when I ask people they are like don't bother (they only care about their Mopars). I need more Camaro friends to help advise!

I love it. The install is flawless and it turns heads everywhere. I did some gloss black accents as well.

Here are some pics:
That's badass!! I bet a satin white would like incredibleee!! How much did to run you with materials and labor if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks! I got it installed by the best installer in Canada, as far as I'm concerned... lol $5000 out the door. It was a 3 day process. It is pretty expensive but the actual cost of the material vs vinyl is night and day. The material itself was the majority of the cost.

The paint protection aspect and stealth look combined sold me! Drove it all last season... not a mark or a scratch on it. It's a great product with a wicked warranty.

Here's an old pic I found:

Paint is the best....IMO....wrap may be flavor of the month? Paramount crews thought my car was "their movie car". while in Chicago last year.

actually no i havent decided (sorry for the late response) i ended up getting a second job and all the checks go straight to the bank. I figured since the money is adding up considerably fast that I might as well wait for 6gen camaro zl1. Wouldnt want to do all this work to my car and end up selling it a year or two down the road

When i get my new truck early next year I think I'm gonna get it wrapped. I saw this and plan on going with something very similar. Minus "the beast" of course.

That's solid! I've got an F150 now that I was going to get wrapped but I'm leaning on trading it in for a nice Jeep Wrangler Unlimited... then that's gotta get wrapped lol!

Love all the pics. So I'm stopping by the shop tomorrow to look at some swatches. Still considering the pearl white or pink (sorry guys). I think I want to keep my carbon fiber wrapped hood and hash marks. I like these:




Diggin this color too
