Help me decide a new color!

Yeineken · 02-07-2016, 05:12 PM

Hello all. Ive been thinking for a while about wrapping my car. Ive owned it since new. Its been 5 years of living with Black Sapphire Metallic. Still love the color but I'm open for change. Im torn between two colors I have found. Arlon Thundercloud Metallic and 3M Fiery Orange which is almost exact to BMW's Valencia Orange (which would match nicely with my 1M interior).

Thundercloud Metallic:

Fiery Orange:

Just wanted to get some thoughts/opinions on helping me decide.

Thundercloud Metallic!

I say the Thundercloud Metallic as well.

Thundercloud Metallic if you want something more subtle, and under the radar. But reading that your car stock color is BSM, I would try out the Fiery Orange! It would really stand out, and you can mix/match nicely with your BSM (Leaving the roof black).

Fiery Orange

Thundercloud Metallic! But as long as you promise to tint your windows and black out that front grill. You need a good contrast.

Man. Do the Orange. Been Jonesing so hard on VO lately.

Winn.Nguyen · 02-25-2016, 11:41 PM

Thundercloud Metallic looks great. Kinda reminds me of Mineral Gray.

But it's not that different from BSM. If you want some fun go with the FO. :]

I like the Fiery Orange! You can't go wrong either way though! They're both nice colors.
