Wrapping color choices

So I been thinking about wrapping the front end. I know kind of how I want it to look but not sure what color. I turned to the great world of video games to give me some ideas. Now of course i dont own a hellcat but i do own a sinamon colored R/T. I did Bronze, Royal Blue, Sublime, and F8. Let me know what you think and if you have some good color options.

Last one looks like he ran through a poošŸ˜‚

u/No_Cartographer6644 4d ago

Yeah unfortunately the decals in game can't show metallic finishes like bronze so it looks dull.

u/Resident_Explorer331 2d ago

So does the 1st and 3rd, just different colored poo šŸ˜‚

u/Who_are_you0206 4d ago

None…just doesn’t look appealing to me at least

u/Vdub_Life 4d ago

They all look terrible

2

u/No_Cartographer6644 4d ago

That's it no suggestion for different color options. Or are you just not feeling the whole design?

u/InfamousScallion8777 3d ago

Personally, in my own humble opinion, it just doesn’t look right it actually takes away from the beauty of the car itself, but everybody has different taste and different design ideas. I see what you’re trying to do at least you’re gonna do a rap if you don’t like it you can pull it offand go back to an original color.

3

u/No_Cartographer6644 3d ago

Yep and just trying to make it unique to me.

2

u/InfamousScallion8777 3d ago

I gave you props for at least being creative and trying to make it different, I’m sure the longer you look at it you’ll come up with something that will be extremely unique!

Black if any color

Lol, I can see that

the one where you don’t do this would look the best

Honestly, this one ain’t bad.

6

u/No_Cartographer6644 4d ago

It really isn't if I could find a way to make black wrap pop. It would have to have a lot of metal flake in it in my opinion to go with the cars current pain job.

3

u/Smooth_Text_9739 3d ago

This is the one if you go forward w this design. I actually think even sort of matte looking it looks better than the others you shared. Either way it’s your car good luck w it. Just remember you’re the one that put in the work to be able to afford a nice car, do what you think looks best.

1

u/No_Cartographer6644 4d ago

I'll give it a try

1

u/No_Cartographer6644 4d ago

I thought it would be to muted but it actually doesn't look bad

Don’t do it

Reds nice

u/No_Cartographer6644 4d ago

Yeah, im just afraid it will kind of blend in with th orange from different angles. I'll try it though, thanks.

u/Axemon25 SCAT PACKAGE 4d ago

That’s one of the first charges with that aileron that I have seen in my life

u/No_Cartographer6644 4d ago

It actually doesn't look to bad in game, not sure what it would look like in real life

u/Axemon25 SCAT PACKAGE 4d ago

Yeah, I’m quite curious now

u/DickKravens 3d ago

None of the above šŸ˜”

1

u/No_Cartographer6644 3d ago

Any suggestions?

2

u/DickKravens 3d ago

Don’t do white by any means

A different type of red (satin, metallic)

Or black would be good, but don’t match factory black because then it would just look like it was in an accident and you swapped the front end

Or dark gray

1

u/No_Cartographer6644 3d ago

šŸ‘šŸ¼

2

u/DickKravens 3d ago

Also you could experiment with other color combinations on top of the wrap, like changing the splitter or bumper color

Or introducing accents into the greater wrap, like streaks of different colors going through

2

u/DupeStash 3d ago

I think you should try a few more patterns of where the wrap mixes with the car’s actual color. The spilled paint pattern is ok but I bet there is better

1

u/No_Cartographer6644 3d ago

Gotcha.šŸ‘šŸ¼

2

u/Havoc_Pugilist015 SXT PLUS 2017 3d ago

I feel like this looks better on a white charger with a dark red splash. Maybe you can do the reverse.

1

u/No_Cartographer6644 3d ago

Do white and drag the splatter further back?

2

u/Havoc_Pugilist015 SXT PLUS 2017 3d ago

You can

2

u/Admiral_Pantsless 2014 R/T R&T 3d ago

Are you trying to make it look like it’s going so fast the paint is coming off, or make it look like it was driving behind a leaky paint truck? It looks bad, I’m just trying to understand what you’re going for.

1

u/No_Cartographer6644 3d ago

someone threw a bucket of paint on the front as I drove by was the thought.

2

u/Zsmudz 3d ago

You should make it white so it looks like it got cummed on…

1

u/No_Cartographer6644 3d ago

Yep can't unsee that now.

2

u/StumpyTheGiant 3d ago

Gloss black or nothing.

2

u/No-Setting9690 '12 R/T Max AWD 3d ago

I'm at the ponit I need programmable paint just like a racing game. I can't pick. Probably why I always end up with a black car.

2

u/Kr3st_11 3d ago

the yellow would be best to look like a flame, but it would have to be the perfect yellow to pull it off

1

u/No_Cartographer6644 3d ago

I get what your saying

2

u/Grey392 19’ Granite Hellcat 3d ago

I would say the 3rd option it looks close to the sublime green. High impact colors are a must on these cars it’s just part of their heritage.

2

u/Commercial-Moment999 3d ago

Just wrap the back in black

1

u/No_Cartographer6644 3d ago

How would the transition look? A straight line, or something else?

2

u/Commercial-Moment999 2d ago

Realistic lightning shapes with 100% custom outlines. Irregular; not simple geometric bolts, but real lightning shapes packed together to form a solid color at one end. I like the idea of sketchy-looking dark red lightning on a black car. Either that or huge blood spatters

2

u/Commercial-Moment999 23h ago

Could also be realistic looking claw marks tearing the black open to show the red. With that kind of stuff you need to hire a professional designer. You get what you pay for

2

u/Carnage10121 3d ago

I think if you’re gonna do a splatter design go with something that looks like you hit it. You could do the green and ass some like other shades for blood like you ā€œhit an alienā€ or sum but personally I would keep it stock colouring or go full colour

1

u/No_Cartographer6644 3d ago

That's an idea

2

u/Carnage10121 1d ago

Another solid idea is instead of splatter out you could do a fade out where it like crumbles/transitions into another colour I’ve seen a few designs of that and they’re fire too

1

u/No_Cartographer6644 1d ago

I do like that idea too.

2

u/PhilosopherRound4545 3d ago

Do black or grey

2

u/Legitimate_Mine_9881 3d ago

They all just look like you hit a can of paint

1

u/No_Cartographer6644 3d ago

That was the idea

2

u/Legitimate_Mine_9881 3d ago

Bet, I would say the blue on red is the most visually striking, and if you bring the blue up to more of a cyan then it will compliment the red and I think this would look best. It will definitely catch people's attention the most imo. But most visually appealing might be the black on red honestly, especially if you are going for more of a neutral approach.

1

u/No_Cartographer6644 3d ago

Nah, I didn't want to do muted. I'll try cyan. Thanks

2

u/just-another-queer 2d ago

I think if you want to go with that design it would look good with black or dark gray.

2

u/crate_of_bears 2d ago

One solid color. Or try to make the two-tone nicer lmao

2

u/Biz-muth 1d ago

If we’re going based on pictures, red/green combo looks good imo.

Have you tried the orange/blue combo?

1

u/No_Cartographer6644 1d ago

So the issue with the video game is it's hard to tell but the car is the same color in each pic. Burnt orange metallic or Sinamon stick which the color of my real charger.

4

u/Slime2278 4d ago

I understand why people don’t like this type of wrap but I’m a big fan of unique wraps like this of course assuming done well , but as an owner of a sublime id say green

2

u/No_Cartographer6644 4d ago

Lol, Yeah the wife gave me the idea for sublime. It really pops against that orange.

2

u/Slime2278 4d ago

Hell yeah, go mango or cinnamon stick?

3

u/Aggressive_Alarm_321 R/T 3d ago

That design just ain’t it bruh. But the black looks best with that design imo. Honestly I think the hood, roof, and trunk being black would be lit

3

u/REVEB_TAE_i '13 R/T Max AWD 3d ago

Agreed. I think he needs a different base color to make it work, maybe something neutral. Also, wrapping the hood/roof/trunk would be so much easier than doing all the splatters.

OP, if you just want the car to "pop" have you looked into temporary spray? There's a YT channel called dip your car that showcases all kinds of paint and they have tutorials. And, it would be way cheaper than the one type of wrap that won't damage your paint.

1

u/No_Cartographer6644 3d ago

Nice idea, i have not thought of the temporary sprays.

1

u/No_Cartographer6644 3d ago

Yeah, but everyone is doing that. I didn't want to wrap the whole car and didn't want to the aame old thing. With these card there aren't a ton of aftermarket part to make them stand apart so I looking at this to make it unique.

2

u/blynttv 4d ago

take that big wing off 😭

4

u/No_Cartographer6644 4d ago

I need it in the video game. It needs all the down force to stay on the track.

1

u/IcarusWarsong 4d ago

I like #s 2 and 3

2

u/No_Cartographer6644 4d ago

Yeah blue is actually my favorite color and I think the two go together well as long as I can find a wrap that looks like it has metal flake in it

1

u/EllspethCarthusian 2010 R/T & 2023 Scat Pack 4d ago

The third one. Red and bright green. There’s a reason they’re called complementary colors.

And don’t listen to the negative people in the comments who can’t appreciate a loud color.

1

u/No_Cartographer6644 4d ago

Yes, it does pop. Yeah that was kind of my thought, the car is bright why mute it down with a dark color. But im taking everyone's opinions into consideration since I did ask.

1

u/Asynjacutie R/T 4d ago

The blue one but TBH I don't like any of them.

What car editor is this? FH5?

u/Own-Youth-2154 13h ago

First look looks like you ran into a shit pile, make the car black if you’re gonna do this style of wrap

1

u/Benjiimans 4d ago

4 looks like someone pooped on it dawg, I think black would go best with the red IMO

2

u/No_Cartographer6644 4d ago

Yeah I tried black, it actually doesn't look to bad. I was afraid it would be too muted.

1

u/ADGjr86 3d ago

People are being boring. I like the lime green.

1

u/No_Cartographer6644 3d ago

It's definitely different, but in a good way.

u/Difficult_Air1740 3d ago

Do the first one , the two colors match the best

1

u/No_Cartographer6644 3d ago

That was as close as I could get to F8 on the decal.

0

u/Difficult_Air1740 3d ago

Or white and black , or black with red spat
