Agreed... My silver ute looked brand new for the 4yrs i owned it... Washed and waxed every 3wks and i was sweet....

I was tempted to get black for the 86 but have always wanted white... Silver looks damn good too IMO...... But im happy i chose white... especially with the pearl finish.....

No regrets, atleast u picked the right car =)

U could have really messed up and got lava....... Lol.......

Don't worry man youll like it soon! Just need to mod it!
Haha

I have a whiteout with no garage so I share the same sympathy as you. I clean it then a few days later it gets dirty.

The raven definitely hides the hoodline a lot better than the whiteout. (which personally, the hoodline doesnt look good where it is on this car)

mr. slim · 07-10-2012, 03:52 PM

Also one you go black you never go back! Haha

That must be the longest sentence ever posted on this forum

Anyway if you like another color better just get it wrapped in that color. Black is the perfect base for wrapping a car.

VINYLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Or plastidip.

Hanzo · 07-10-2012, 03:59 PM

You can't go wrong with white.

EsoBOFH · 07-10-2012, 03:59 PM

I'll trade you my silver

Normally i don't mind the silver.. but i'm finding it makes the car look like every other car out there. Wish I would have gone with the Hot Lava that was also available.

Wrap it in Matte Black it will look evil and no more smudge/dirt worry etc

I think everyone has wanted a black car (on cars in the past etc but the up keep after owning one after the fact is a bitch - last car was black) shows all the minor scratches from washing it by hand! in the sun and black does look sexy, celebrity, classy and professional :P

Do some high detail work or just cover her up. but black looks awesome man batmanish.

My last car was black and the issue was, during summer, it's hot as hell, every time after washing it, it would get dirty really quick. Lastly every time I exit off
the high way and park, I can see a new scratch.

Love the white and definitely worth the extra cost.

lol This reminds me of how xxThrillxx felt at the meet we had in Torrance recently. He really wanted the Firestorm but he jumped on a Raven (I forgot exactly). It was driving him crazy the whole night.

Snozzberries · 07-10-2012, 04:10 PM

You could always plastidip or vinyl wrap your car, if you really don't like the color. I know an R8 around this area that was just vinyled from black to white and it looks gooooood. Just may not get the same shine as the whiteout though.

how much would a full body wrap be? does it depend on colour or other factors?
