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.

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.

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

 

[ice445]

Umm...I just looked it up, and the 303 is twice as much per gallon.

I don't remember it being that way but it's hard to use it up since you need such a light coat and it lasts forever, I haven't had to actually buy any in quite a while

Getting the color I wanted was a big factor in my last purchase, but not the only one.
