I have an opportunity to get a full 3M wrap at no cost to me, and I'm still torn. I love the Capri Blue but at the same time, I would love a matte gunmetal with matte black accents for all the chrome bits.

What would you do?

papashango

Do it...and tell me how to get it done at no cost

deanmc

No cost? Do it, why not?

johnny--2k

Haha, I cannot divulge my source! But I am definitely leaning towards doing it... just need to confirm details.

I say go for it!
I was going to have my entire car professionally dipped Matte Graphite but decided not to as no matter what anyone tells you, you will never get all the dip off the car, it will get stuck in all the cracks and crevices. I had same issue to decide on, my dip was going to be at no cost to me.... still decided against it for the reasons I have stated.


With wrap the removal process should be even easier if I had to guess, unless you fear paint being pulled with the wrap when removing, which I have seen happen...

CarHopper

Do it. Best case, you like the new color more. Worst case, you don't and peel it off.

Total spent either way = $0.

Kriston

Free is always good right?








As long as the installer is quality I would do it. Remember your trusting a third party with sharp objects near your paint finish. Don't know if you trust the installer that much.

Do it since its free. wrapping a car aint cheap lol

Steve Richo

No brainier really, free and can be removed, what's not to like?

Get it done, take some time to get used to it, if it looks rubbish take it off.

+1 ! And post pictures

well, it's going in for the wrap on the 22nd. They will have the car all week since I will be out of town, so I'm expecting it to be pretty much flawless.

All chrome bits will be matte black, the rest of the car charcoal matte metallic. Pics don't do the color justice, cant wait to see the finished product!

a few teasers of the color sample:

i think i want to wrap mine in a brushed wrap

johnny--2k

I looked at the matte brushed finishes, they were really niche, but I wasn't that impressed with them. Then again, that was little 3x5 square samples so not much to go off of.

mr747

its pretty hard to make a decision off a little square

johnny--2k

agreed!

CarHopper

Yea, in for this final result.

You stock wheels/stock ride height?

jmueller

Oh this looks like fun. Can't wait for the final result.

RW Carbon

oooh charcoal matte metallic looks nice!!

johnny--2k

Yes, only other thing that will be done is the eurocharched v5 tune which I'm waiting to get. I may lower it, still undecided. The problem is the roads by me are horrible, and I already have issues as is with stock height!

I had the same color on my CLS63. It's really nice color I removed yesterday because it collect dust really fast I couldn't keep it clean for 1 day lol

Take the second colour and do it

johnny--2k

awesome, and beautiful! I love the CLS, but the one thing that always bugs me is that line from the hood to the bumper...looks like it's misaligned and poorly setup, even though I know it's not.

johnny--2k

All three are technically the same. One is the color block taken inside, the others are a larger sample, taken outdoors in the sunlight.

For those interested, I dropped it off last night and pick it up again when I get back home Friday. Stay tuned for the final product!

Dome///AMG

Can't wait to see it finished
