A lot depends on the light, if I'm been honest with blue sky's it does look very premier grey with a blue hue. Overcast conditions it looks a lot better.

I’m really struggling with this TBO, I’ve come away and back to the photos again several times and even showed the wife, don’t get me wrong the car is stunning but the wrap does look primer grey to us which ever way we look at it.
But you have to be happy with it yourself, it’s your car and I think if you have to ask and try to convince yourself then I think it is not working, which is a shame because like us you obviously really love your car.
So like I say in the end you have to be comfortable with it yourself and if it were me and I’d had a wrap that I was still not sure of after this length of time then I think I’d have to have it removed but then maybe I’m over fussy...
But please take this in a constructive way as no colour is going to appeal to everyone and whichever way you look at it it’s still a fantastic car,

Kind regards,

Thank you Steve, I am happy now :D

Been a graphic designer colour is a personal opinion. What I was trying to do with the stripes, was a mistake and lesson learned.

I had a Matt Daytona RS6 before this, I loved that car and if it would have fitted in my garage I would have been greedy and had both. That was the colour I was originally going for. I got my wife involved picking the colours (too much choice) and she liked this battleship grey, but it only dawned on my last week that she is actually colour blind and does struggle with tones, so that is another lesson learned.

But seriously I am happy, as its different.

That’s great, it’s good to be happy...

I’m toying with the idea of wrapping all my chrome in Matt black including the Jaguar boot lid badge, but that’s another story... :roll:

Kind regards,

Sounds good. Would look good on a Red car.

Big improvement on original wrap, gloss black accents looks good (glad you did the number plate cross bar) [emoji106]

Didn’t see the original but agree with Basher, this looks great so hope you enjoy and its also gives you the long term protection you were originally seeking ...
