**EDIT: I’m going back tomorrow to select a different color**

The original color I had picked out wasn’t available anymore and it looked spot on 😡
So….had to pick another color. While it’s definitely not exact (although when the roll was held next to my wheel it looked like a closer match) it’s close. I’m not 100% happy but for now it’ll do
I also don’t think the lighting in my garage is helping with more light shining down on the blade and hardly any on the wheels

That looks awesome. Do you also have a matte PPF wrap? It kinda-sorta looks that way from the photo.

No I think that's the the way the Gunmetal looks in that light.

Thanks!
No I think it’s just the lighting in the garage. I’ll take new pics tomorrow

Yeah Volk makes A LOT of nice wheels

I wanted a white Z so bad to be able to have bronze on white. If I ever get the car wrapped, it’ll be white

Ughh I attempted to make mine black with wrap once and the paint did not like it. I still like the idea of changing the katana color but was considering paint instead of a wrap now

Sorry to hear that, but it is valuable information for the rest of us. I'm considering making mine black, too, but didn't know the best way to do it.
