A matte Techno-violet would be sick.

Matte gray looks like primer. There's an S6 in my town that is wrapped with it and it just looks like an unpainted, unfinished car. If that's your thing, have at it.

I've seen a brushed grey metal that looked fantastic on a 1M.

A friend has his 1M wrapped in Santorini blue and it turns heads everywhere he goes.

Personally, I really like my matte green wrap with my bronze wheels and Terracotta interior.

I would recommend you pick a color that won't show too much in the door jams, hood cut line, and other places that are nearly impossible to wrap. Not to mention the little nicks and scrapes you'll get in the wrap from driving on the highway...
There are films that makes your paint job look like a "frozen" color and there on clear films that make the highlights of the car show up different colors (works best on light colored cars). Don't limit yourself to the matte color of the week, call a professional shop and see what they have to offer. There are new vinyls coming out all the time.

I doubt they went through the clear coat right? Can you just hire a good detailer to buff things out?
