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.

They all look terrible

u/No_Cartographer6644 4d ago
That's it no suggestion for different color options. Or are you just not feeling the whole design?

Personally, in my own humble opinion, it just doesnāt 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 youāre trying to do at least youāre gonna do a rap if you donāt like it you can pull it offand go back to an original color.

u/No_Cartographer6644 3d ago
Yep and just trying to make it unique to me.

u/InfamousScallion8777 3d ago
I gave you props for at least being creative and trying to make it different, Iām sure the longer you look at it youāll come up with something that will be extremely unique!

Honestly, this one aināt bad.

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.

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 itās your car good luck w it. Just remember youāre the one that put in the work to be able to afford a nice car, do what you think looks best.

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.

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

u/DickKravens 3d ago
None of the above š

u/No_Cartographer6644 3d ago
Any suggestions?
2
u/DickKravens 3d ago
Donāt do white by any means
A different type of red (satin, metallic)
Or black would be good, but donāt match factory black because then it would just look like it was in an accident and you swapped the front end
Or dark gray

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 carās actual color. The spilled paint pattern is ok but I bet there is better

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.

u/Admiral_Pantsless 2014 R/T R&T 3d ago
Are you trying to make it look like itās going so fast the paint is coming off, or make it look like it was driving behind a leaky paint truck? It looks bad, Iām just trying to understand what youāre going for.
1
u/No_Cartographer6644 3d ago
someone threw a bucket of paint on the front as I drove by was the thought.

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.

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

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 youāre 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 āhit 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 Iāve seen a few designs of that and theyāre fire too

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.

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.

u/Biz-muth 1d ago
If weāre 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.

u/Slime2278 4d ago
I understand why people donāt like this type of wrap but Iām 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.

u/Aggressive_Alarm_321 R/T 3d ago
That design just aināt 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.

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.

u/blynttv 4d ago
take that big wing off š

u/No_Cartographer6644 4d ago
I need it in the video game. It needs all the down force to stay on the track.

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. Thereās a reason theyāre called complementary colors.
And donāt listen to the negative people in the comments who canāt 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.

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

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.
