"Frozen" Zandvoort Blue?

soflacarguy · 10-27-2022, 10:45 AM

Im still torn on the color options. Planning to PPF the entire car as I have a great installer with very fair prices.

That being said, I wonder if Xpel Stealth would give life to ZD blue.

Found these photos of Stealth over Yas Marina.

ZB looks washed out in certain lighting conditions. I would imagine a stealth wrap will just add to that.

ElHeffe · 10-27-2022, 12:24 PM

I've only seen stealth work well on darker colors. Almost everyone does gray/gunmetal but I've done with with Portimao Blue and it looked great. I think it could work with TR as well but I just don't know about stealth with lighter colors. Hopefully someone finds pics to prove me wrong. I'd like to see it.

Edit: I'd also expect it to work well if there was a very pearly type metallic white but not sure sure about non-metallic lighter colors.

Yea I get the concern. Stealth is truthfully more Satin than Matte, per se - especially when it's Sunny outside.

All of the lines and edges (love them or hate them) will pop out a lot more, especially those side skirts and rocker panels.

Imho Stealth looks great over white paint and the example I posted in the yas marina paint looks great.

I thought about TR as well, and actually found an example.

Stealth wrap on zb is my current plan. I think it will help give the color some texture and not be washed out.

JustChris · 10-27-2022, 02:21 PM

ZB should probably have been frozen at the design concept stage

My bitter £0.02 as the launch colour isn't for me

I'm not a fan of BG (I like Nardo better myself) but I have to admit those are GREAT pics!

that doesn't look slick to me—it looks unpainted, primer-like. that look is SOOOO played out these days.

Hook3549 · 10-27-2022, 05:44 PM

It looks pretty good to me, how much should I expect for this wrap?

That's okay.

Not sure if you're still looking for an example, but here is ZB stealth (side-by-side w/ gloss). Pics kind of small though.

RemoWilliams84 · 10-30-2023, 12:06 PM

I'm getting my ZB done in stealth next week as well as a flow through spoiler.

I was on the fence, but after seeing a couple other ZB M2s in my area, I decided I'd like for mine to stand out.

Sculpin · 10-30-2023, 06:03 PM

I'm debating it for my ZB as well. Still on the fence. I've looked at these pics many, many times.

Gotta go with Satin Smurf. Do it.

Kevin_The_Clean1 · 10-31-2023, 12:56 AM

You guys are certainly on to something here. The frozen BG looks pretty sick. With the limited color selection currently available, this may be a great alternative to working with what we have right now.
