Yeah i have seen a couple, i see mainly matte black around, recently i saw one for some reason i thought that it looked bad for some reason, but then another looked nice, maybe it was just the type of car it was on, the only other two colours that i have seen was a matte blue and matte grey and the both looked awesome

3M is the way to go.. cleaning off the glue can be painful.

I've had Striping and Graphics done but never the full car. I've also done full resprays also.

3m is definitely the way to go, it is made by meguiars (in association) as far as im aware, and only their products touch my paint

I think Orange is definitely the way to go, especially if you drive on any dirt roads it doesn't really show.

I reckon if you are going to wrap your car, you are better off going for a non- oem like colour....so id personally avoid silver, white, titanium, dark blue, black, (mystic blue), dark orange, dark red, etc (these colours are great, dont get me wrong. But if you are putting in the effort/paying for it to get done you can go for something out there)

That orange is great (even though i dislike the colour. It suits the lancer. There was a guy whose lancer was written off, but his was repainted bright orange and looked great )

I love that purpley colour too!!

Green looks pretty good

bright yellow! :) certainly would stand out

for more subtle approach maybe a nice green?

that orange and blue look good too

matt black is so over done and boring

Yeah matte black is definitely over done,
yeah I want something unique so will be steering away from the common colours,
orange is my favourite colour and looks awesome with black highlights,
so at the moment it is probably between orange, yellow and purple
The time frame when I will get it wrapped depends what is happening with my do-luck trunk hopefully I will find out soon

Orange, Black Hood or Roof and Black Spoiler = BADASS, If I do my car that's what i'll be doing, not sure if I can justify it though hahah
