One reason I am looking to DIY is because I want to change the colour as and when I feel and if I can perfect it, it'll be an easy change when I get bored of a colour.

Anyone wrapped theirs in a good colour that would be worth considering and pictures if you have, I'm interested in a full change of colour but also want to be able to live with the colour for a couple of years so nothing to OTT?

I was thinking of taking this opportunity to change things a little and go with a different colour for a while but even though I currently run three blue cars I am looking at blues again rather than a full change of colour :roll:

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm currently offering up a couple of colour samples to my car with a view of wrapping it, the paint has had various Le Mans decals and plenty of stone chips to the point where the car does need a full respray as the lacquer is peeling in places. The only panels that would get away with a detail are the rear quarters.

I have laid these two colours on the car to get an idea of what I want, The lighter colours is similar to Miami Blue (or Riviera but I think too green) and the darker shade close to Voodoo. As it's a wrap it won't have any fancy metallic to show it off like some blue paints do have and will just be a flat colour.
I have also toyed with a Guards Red shade but I keep coming back to the Voodoo shade.

Hi Infrasilver,
Am I right in assuming you have intentionally excluded any of the yellow options?
I think any 911 will wear that colour well.
Cheers, Keith.
Voodoo :thumbs:
Riviera seems to need lots of angles, curves and details to show well. Guards red doesn't really work on anything post 1989. I'd be genuinely interested to check back and see what a Voodoo inspired wrap would look like applied to a 996....
The darker blue does seem to be getting the thumbs up from everyone I have asked so far.
Yellow is a consideration and does really suit the 996 but the folk I usually drive with have got two Yellow cars in the ranks and it may be a bit overkill with three. I like Yellow, Red and the Blues as these all suit the 996 shape.
I'm trying to steer away from Orange and Green as this may be too much for me at the moment.
I'm going to be doing this myself as I have done a little wrapping and bodywork in my past. One reason I am looking to DIY is because I want to change the colour as and when I feel and if I can perfect it, it'll be an easy change when I get bored of a colour. I'm also looking at practicing on my 944 as this would look good in Orange I'm thinking.
I'd give voodoo a :thumb: , less understated than the Riv, and perhaps less obvious for a colour change. Looking forward to seeing whatever you decide.
:thumbs:
It is an ish and I have been comparing many, many Google images over the last few days, its the closest Porsche colour that matches this shade. Audi Nogaro blue is also similar and another colour I like.
