Color change wrap

So I'm thinking about doing a full color change wrap on my new car. Would love to hear some suggestions on colors from you all. I was thinking matte white or matte red(maybe even gloss red) with some black emblems. Also, pro's and cons on upkeep on the vinyl. Thanks

I would like to do it too. It's just no one around me apparently knows how. A lot have said they could and have supposedly done wraps for advertisement on cars or trucks and when you look at it it is horrible. I did order some good carbon wrap and was going to try my truck first but ended up doing my daughters little play car. Some of the things I have noticed about wraps is that it scratches easier than paint. Someone better really know what they are doing when installing it and it chips or tears easily. Has anyone that's done it had any problems with chipping on the front from driving? And I think a matte red would look awesome. (The frozen red BMW used on the M3 looks insane!!!!)

I like the color in the picture, as it appears on my computer monitor. The color goes with the ambient lighting of the car. In real life, I've not seen a red MB that I cared for enough to favor over other color options.
