Wow, if this represents the final result, I'm sold...Chameleon would do me !!

 

Definitely interested to see how it goes! Also, do you own the rims from the rendering?

Edit: ah, the 21” GT wheels. Sharp! Gotta let that caliper color shine through 😅

 

I should be getting bigger sample of Green Apple and Chameleon any day now to help me cement my decision. I'll throw a couple of pictures of those up too. It really hard to tell from the images on the site or the tiny samples in the sample book. But for the record, here's a before pic.

 

Did you get samples from the manufacturer or the installer?

What’s the name of the color in the third from last picture? That would be mine.

 

That's the Chameleon. The pics got out of order a little.

 

Awesome, How much will the ppf cost?

 

It's going to be $7124. That includes removing emblems, fender trim, spoiler and necessary stuff to get to all edges the right way. Also doing the headlights in clear ppf.

 

Got samples today of Green Apple and Chameleon. Going with Green Apple, it's hard to catch the actual colors accurately, but it looks amazing. I noticed in overcast sunlight the gold reflections get lost by the camera, and overcast days will bring out a little blue in the paint layers that I didn't even know was in this color. On a sunny day that gold should shine through more. Waiting for one. The Chameleon is nice, but pretty std chameleon. I think the GA is a little more unique and subtle. Monday's the day. ETA end of the week.

 

Well I did snap these, and

Chameleon deserves to be seen.

 

Chameleon is rad but a bit too familiar. I think Green Apple is the right choice, esp with the GT and it's greenish accents.

 

The Green Apple looks much better than I thought it would. Agree that it makes a good match for the GT.

Now to find some samples so I can dream $7k dreams 🫠

 

The more I look at the sample the more I love the Green Apple. For being "green", it doesn't look like it actually has any green paint in it! It looks like the effect is from a gold metal flake base coat with layers of transparent blue tint over it. You get green from the mixing of the gold and blue. Which is awesome because I love stuff that plays with the light and blends and mixes colors. It makes it really hard for the camera to see the same thing your eye sees though, probably because the camera doesn't focus on the same layer as your eyes are. I tried to get a picture of just the blue topcoats so you can see what I mean. Its not the same real life but close enough. When you're looking at it its easier to see the blue is from top layers, but now for the camera the flakes have to bust through! In person the are practically hidden.

 

Green apple, as soon as I saw it. 🍏

 

can’t wait to see the result! I’ve been researching this product before seeing your post. I was quoted $5300-$5600 here in NorCal.

 

Which NorCal shop? Asking cuz I'm in NorCal as well...thanks!

Actually, if indeed that is a legit quote from the shop then that's not a bad price assuming it's for a full wrap--some places charge upwards of $7K or more for a full PPF clear wrap.

 

I dropped off the car yesterday. Let the waiting begin. The plates on the Vette and the Lambo, POWWER and POWWUH. I like mine better.

 

Sorry. Maserati!

 

Progress update: No progress. Unless you count the car being moved from the front of the shop to the back of the shop progress. I used the remote snapshot to check in on the car. Now I think its actually inside the shop because I can't remote connect to it anymore. I did get a status update that they have had a couple of guys out sick this week and my car is first in line on Monday. That's great but I could have used the car this week instead of having it sitting around doing nothing, so that's frustrating. He also made a comment that he had forgotten how "finicky" FlexiShield can be. Oh boy. I hope I haven't made a huge mistake. This was the only shop in the area I found that even worked with FlexiShield so I was happy to find someone close to home. When I first mentioned it he seemed like it was no problem, so I'm still hoping he's able to remember the technique for this material. I know its not like regular vinyl or wet apply ppf. Fingers crossed. Hopefully it will be done by the end of the week.

 

Ok, now we're cookin. Maybe tomorrow. Me likey.

 

Very nice.

 

Ok, saw it today, and now it really should be ready for pickup tomorrow afternoon.

 

I picked the car up yesterday. I am super happy with the result. The color variations are amazing, so is the gloss. The guys at Wrap Effects did a great job on this. Only time will tell how the product holds up, but the manufacturer warranty is 5 years for fading, peeling, cracking or discoloration, but that's based on outdoor living. Being a garage kept car I think I will get a lot longer life than that, and by taking good care of it.

A good example of how many variations of color you will see in this material depending on angle and light.

So happy to have it back home again!!!

 

wow, I'm not sure I'd have the balls to have that radical a colour, but it looks amazing.

It actually doesn't have a colour at all more of a mutli-coloured green/gold based presence.

 

A few more photos, cause why not? Uploading a walkaround video on YouTube now. I'll post the link soon. Its awesome to see the color shift in real time. The combo of colors in this - brown, gold, many shades of green and a touch of blue, makes me think of it as an organic metallic film.

 

Looks amazing, wow!

Did you have to change the car registration?

 

No. I Googled it and thought I needed to update the color change with the DMV, so I called and they said there's no need to update anything. As long as the VIN still matches, its fine. At least in Kansas. So good, I don't want to get pulled over unless I actually deserve it.

 

Here's the YouTube video of a walkaround in the park -
