Just got my ride sponsored

mike12002us · 04-16-2015, 02:29 PM

So I have been in talks with a vinyl wrap business and things are happening. We have hashed things out and now I have a full sponsorship for a free wrap so I can go to car shows and have a unique car. I was hoping to get ideas on how I should wrap the car. Colors or designs? I have final say of what is put on the car as long as he gets to put his logo somewhere on the car. I have attached a few pics of my car to get an idea of what it looks like now.

I would have to say something that will make your rims stick out more,but not like a soar thumb

I e always wanted to see what a bright teal or turquoise looked like on a 370. One of those colors,but leave the hood and roof so it matches up to your rims.

Ive been looking at doing Blue Chrome. I think it would pop.

kynseon · 04-16-2015, 05:27 PM

red chrome.

In my opinion, leave the Chrome for the boys who don't do subtle. You don't see many SEMA show cars wrapped in chrome, do you? (Maybe one or two over a few years). A good look with shows means not saying "LOOK AT ME, I'M SO SHINY!" A good look is that it's natural and obviously custom but subtle.

I have an "artistic" view on custom cars, I don't want something just thrown together, I want people to admire how clean and natural it looks, something the average person would say "wow, I could drive that". They wouldn't drive a chrome Camaro, they'd feel almost embarrassed.

You could go with a two-tone but that could also be a little too much.

If it were me, I'd go with a fade of some kind. You already have the two-tone look with the black on top, you could do something unique and have a wrap that transitions from black on top to grey on the sides. Fading black to grey would get a subtle but noticeable look instead of the sharp contrast from black to grey you have now. Then even more, since you have black wheels, you could transition from black to grey to black again around the wheel wells.

Again, just my personal opinion after seeing hundreds of cars customized any million ways and what I think the purpose of a show car means.

P.S. You could make your wrapper pretty happy if he had a mostly transparent, big logo on the door hidden in the wrap that requires a double take to notice it. It adds a revealing quality to the car that people would say is cool cause it's subtle but there! And he could still have his actual logo somewhere else like on the windows.

^ Or that! Matte is a great look if done right. Too much of anything is too much.

ShutokuZ · 04-16-2015, 05:58 PM

The matte green would look pretty good!

FireDan50 · 04-16-2015, 06:48 PM

LUCKY!!!! So hard to choose with so many options....since it is sponsored and supposed to be eye catching, the blue chrome looks cool...but I'm also with Ryan's opinion on being somewhat subtle. Do you boo boo lol

That looks ok. I was thinking a bit more darker than that though.

The color on these rims would look good over the whole car.

if you're going for wow factor, i guess that could be it.

honestly though, i like your car the way it is. maybe wrap your tool case or toilet bowl, or something else instead?

mike12002us · 04-16-2015, 09:40 PM

Im going this weekend to look at all the options. Im really excited as I can pretty much do anything. Ive got an idea. I think I will go for the more understated look but at the same time it will turn heads. I will keep everyone up to date on whats going on.

ShutokuZ · 04-16-2015, 11:38 PM

That blue chrome reminds me of this viper I took a pic of the other day.
