911mhawk

So I'm having a rear bumper resprayed from this doofus backing into me.
While at it I'm have the front bumper done too since it had some curb scrapes and the hood to eliminate rock chips.
Since the car will be close to perfect when done, I'll definitely wrap but have time while curing to decide on possibly color wrap vs. clear.

Anyone looked into or know of a color that would be real close to Irish or Brewster from a wrap material manufacturer?
My interior is full leather in Platinum Grey/BLk and brushed alu with grey carpet so I'm thinking those would look good with dk grn exterior.
I also picked up a like new black carpet to swap out my light grey at some point.

Appreciate any help beyond my initial Google, thanks!

How about this one? I have used APA for wrap before and think it is good product for the money: https://www.apafilms.com/product/glo...british-green/

Thanks, that looks nice on my screen, I'll be ordering samples of a couple if I go that route to confirm.
Audi has a dark green I've seen on a couple new Q & 5 or 6 styles that looks great too.

I'm doing black script, spraying the tailpipes black, and the clear taillights I have are now sprayed with a tinted clear.

I like BMW's Oxford green on an old M5 I have but want something a little darker and maybe no metallic.

APA is where I get my Miami Blue wrap from, which I use on some little parts and decals elsewhere, and for $1 samples you cannot go wrong - keep us all posted as to what you do!

Perhaps you should consider this...

@$10k I'll pass, unless of course someone leaves me a purple Lambo suv I'd need to change.

I'm glad some pay to wrap a regular car, then ceramic coat it, then drive it only a few thousand miles because that's good for the next owner.
When it's a rare & valuable car, I get it, would do the same, and then drive it to take advantage of the wrap

For "normal" versions that don't get much use I don't see the value when bumper/hood/rocker/mirror respraying is often less expensive and takes care of dings/scrapes/small dents that no wrap can prevent.
On a DD car. or any car that will see the track even once, it's more practical than those that are babied and used mostly for events/coffee.

My thought about wrapping amped up because we hired a guy that is just came from that profession and is changing careers.

I researched this for quite a while as I missed the window to get PTS for my 2019 991.2.

The closest I could find to what I wanted was the Avery SW900 - 792 gloss dark green. However the quotes I got from my admittedly high end car guy was $7K, which is more than I was willing to spend (seems like that's getting close to just having the whole car repainted).

However, I might still do this after I've owned the car for a few years...

Here's an image I found online, but it renders differently depending on the angle - so make sure you search for more pics...

Thank you for the pick, I actually added this color to my Amazon cart a few days ago for a sample.
Like you said, the pics on line are quite varied depending on many factors. I just don't want something too bright green or metallic.

Thinc2

Yes, agree. This pic seems to show the color at it's best, but it's really hard to tell what it looks like in person because of the high variability of pics online.

I also got a bit worried about how well a wrap would wear - for example, any small scratch will show the original paint underneath, so it will be very noticeable. Wear and tear on the door handles can require touch ups as well (I've heard).

My car is a DD year round, so I suspect the wrap would only have lasted a couple of years - which made it seem like an expensive proposition for 2 years of use. I think if I put fewer miles on my car, I might have been more inclined to go this route.

If the sample looks real close to your picture or this one below (Brewster), you can come see it in person soon!

That GTS is sweet in green

Yes, there's a Brewster GT2rs in the new Panorama if you've got a spare $385k

Here's a sample I have that's almost as dark as I want:

^^ Wow that looks great and matches the black wheels well. Kind of looks like the Irish green on the One Millionth 911. Curious - How much would a wrap like this cost all in?

I'd love to do mine in a dark green or ultra violet purple just to change it up for a few years.

Someone mentioned $7k for the full car, pricing seems in line since usually PPF for the nose, front part of the roof, mirrors is usually $1800-2200
