Opinions on this car color....

TopgunZ · 11-26-2013, 12:21 PM

Here is the other color I was looking at going with. It is a brushed steel. They also have brushed aluminum and brushed metal. Only reason I didn't just get this brushed steel is because its pretty close to the silver my 350z was.

If I pull my wrap Ill be looking at going either with this or maybe just a plain old white.

This was done by Tyler also.

I am in Parker about once a month. Have a good friend that lives there. We could meet up before spring unless you hibernate your car in the winter months here....but hell, I was wakeboarding in February last year.

The place I got my wrap done is fairly close to you in Englewood. Right across from PT's stripclub...lol.. ITs called Premier Graphics and the owner Tyler is a super awesome guy. I highly recommend this shop. You can get it done cheaper elsewhere but I can guarantee they will not take the time to pay attention to detail as Tyler and his crew do. They even did a little bondo work for free since the stillen front requires it. They have lots of pictures of them with local Pro sports players and their rides. He also did my window tinting with 3M for only $160. Which is a steal. All around incredible place to take your business.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. I did find that shop earlier on, good to know they do great work . Def know where they are located lol.

You got a great price on the tint, just got mine done at Lynx Customs for $240 with 3m Color Stable 20% but had some small wraps of Carbon to the B pillars done as well.

I would keep that Blue (Purple) for now sounds like you invested some pretty good monies there. Enjoy it for a while, pretty sure it will grow on you, it is unique no matter what.

Let's keep in touch and see if we can find a time / place to meet up, I drive the car when weather permits, but wait usually for a few days after snow to get the "junk off the road" . Still need a clear bra applied soon

Let's see some cool pics in the sun, also how "deep" did they wrap around the doors wells? Just curious....

Ok. So I figured it would lighten up in the sun but had no idea it would as much as it did.

Check these out....

Chuck33079 · 11-26-2013, 02:35 PM

That looks a whole lot better. Still a little too "blurple" for me, but 100% better than the first pics.

TopgunZ · 11-26-2013, 02:35 PM

And as a comparison......................

Catchin-Z's · 11-26-2013, 02:39 PM

Wow that brightened up quite a bit !

Love that "brush" glistening through.

TopgunZ · 11-26-2013, 02:48 PM

Thanks. And cameras, especially some phone cam, can only pick up so much detail. In person the brushed finish stands out way more.

Maybe we could meet up at PT's since we both know where that is.

I like the color and I like it when the color looks different under different light. My old '95 Miata was Montego Blue and it looked green in most lights. I loved that color!

TenaciousZ · 11-26-2013, 05:01 PM

Looks Good in the sun. Also

that I like the fact that it looks different in different light.
