Colour choice

[Balr14]

I'm not picky about color. But, I do like variety, so I won't buy a car with the same color as what I have.... my Porsche is blue, BMW is gray, GT is white.

Well, based on my research, XPEL Fusion might do the trick.

Wrapping it yourself is extremely time consuming and almost impossible to make look perfect if you're not a reputable professional. Take it to a good shop . They'll have a number of good vinyl brands and use whatever they believe is the best.

Have you ever changed a car, merely for a particular colour?

I have a Black Mustang GT, PP1. But, back in 2017, I had a Magnetic colour, and much prefer that colour.

Currently, I have my car 'agent' looking for a Magentic GT PP1 or not, at a decent price. I feel as if the black is so common, and you can see every bloody spot on that thing, too...

British English from a Georgia denizen - most unusual.

Right, I am going with XPEL Ultimate Plus for paint protection; from the mirrors to the headlights.
Then XPEL Fusion ceramic Coating.

All to be installed by a professional. The car will be washed, cleaned, clay barred, etcetera, prior to commencing the above.
It will take around 2 days, that includes curing...

We just updated my wife's 2017 Santa Fe Turbo ultimate with a 2019 Santa Fe Turbo ultimate. The dealership didn't have any on the lot so they had to search for specific color combinations. The number one requirement was absolutely NO BLACK.

I will never own another black car.

Magnetic is a beautiful paint and looks awesome on the Mustang.

I have.

I traded a Ruby Red GT for a Grabber Blue GT back in 2010. Worth every penny as Grabber Blue is my absolute favorite color on a Mustang, bar none. Would do it again too. I miss that car.

I mostly special order and always order those in white or light tan (non-metalic) IF available. Same for the few I bought off lots. I've been surprised how many times you couldn't get white and had to order another color (had to spec champagne for my ATS, silver for SVT Focus, etc.). I don't think I would pass on a car model because I don't like any available color. Since many other colors are close seconds to my eye, I can't see me considering changing car over the color. If a color was that bad, I wouldn't buy it in the first place unless it was so insanely cheap I planned to flip it immediately.

In 2008, chose a white 2009 GT/CS, passed on a DHG Bullitt and a dark gray GT500 because we were going on that long western desert trip. Didn't regret that color choice for a minute while traveling, notably in AZ, where it was 114 degrees. Still liked and like the color white on cars,

But if I'd chosen either of the other cars, we'd have been hot for a couple weeks, and might still have one of those cars.

I am lucky here. I wanted a particular set of options that seem common but were very hard to find at this time of year during model end. when I told the salesman I was color indifferent he got real happy except I absolutely did not want black or the race red I think its called the one that looks like nail polish brite red. Black because it is a nightmare to keep clean and i live in the mountains with tree crap everywhere. The red because I personally just don't like that bright one stage paint look. other then that I was ok whatever.

I see lots of people not get cars they would enjoy over the color. I personally drive on the inside of the car and don't care about color other than if it's gonna be easy to maintain. which black is not. I am lucky to not have this color affliction LOL. so no I havnt not ever traded a car because of color but I have not bought a car because of black.

Other reason Im not fam of black. no contrast. no contrast of parts and no style. everything is just black. and once the plastics fade to grey from the sun they really stand out and look worse with black.

Use this stuff on the plastic trim. Keeps it black and protects from fading. It's basically magic. Doesn't use dyes or leave residue. It wipes off of paint with no issues.

I will definitely try it Im a big chemical guys fan.

Funny, I seem to remember cars having AC in the dark ages of 2008. I owned a black car too. Never had a problem keeping cool into the triple digits.

No doubt even the air conditioning in operation back there before the renaissance did a fine job of cooling the interior air of an exposed car, but what we avoided was the hunk o' hunk o' burning sensations between us and that cool air. OK, so I'm snowflake-ish. I'm entitled.

I thought about wrapping my car.
I would probably prefer a Kona Blue PP1 or even Magnetic and white were my top color choices. I ended up with white.

I prefer 303 Aerospace, it does the same thing but is much cheaper.
