Opinions on this car color....
So I just got my car back from being wrapped in brushed metal blue. Here is how it turned out.
Im kind of bummed though cuz the blue is WAY deeper than I had hoped and how the sample looked "in the sun". It lightens up in the sun but when its cloudy and dark outside it looks purple, and that's the first thing people are saying when they see it. What really sucks is the brushed metal wrap was $1000 more than the regular. Wondering what others think of the color. Last edited by TopgunZ; 11-25-2013 at 12:02 PM. |

Ok. Edited the pictures so its not blurry.
Maybe its cuz my car was initially black so with the overlay it turned darker....??? At first I was going to go white, but there are so many white cars on the streets. Blue is one of the rarest. But Im not fond of the OEM 370z blue. Pretty much wanted a Yamaha blue. |

Ya.....I see how it looks purple. Not an ideal color for me (since you asked for opinions). At least it is unique!

How about posting an overall (full car side) picture and in different lighting conditions.
Looks like these were taken in a low level sun / overcast perhaps. Also might consider some accents in flat black along skirts and the rear end stock diffuser. Just a thought. Quite like this |

the big contrast between the polished/silver (spokes, door handles, headlights) is probably emphasizing the darker blue even more.
if you're not going to unwrap it, might suggest getting your wheels painted to a solid bronze or gunmetal, darken the door handles and headlights. should look good. also maybe put a few decals on there to add some sparkle. |
