Default Can't decide which route to go...

Alright so I'm wrapping my truck because I don't have the garage to paint it and I like the idea of wrap. I've played around with some test strips and I'm not sure which way I wanna go. Just got the truck and I don't like the paint job. So let's wrap it! Here some pictures...not perfect I was testing the look. And it was super hot out.


The hood is wrapped in gloss black. Not as glossy as I'd like.



Urban camo?



Edges don't look good but I only spent 5 minutes on it. Just to get a look.

Or maybe I'll go with a gun metal grey? So many choices, let me know what you guys think...

It's not rude if I asked lol I'm just not sure what I'm going to do. Really don't want to save up for a paint job. Kinda just wanna wrap the whole truck and be done. You didn't like the black on the hood?

Not a huge fan of either, but of the two, do the black and not that God-awful camo. Also, remove those red stripes on the side. Again though, just my opinion.

Yeah I'll be getting rid of the res for sure. Kinda curious how a gun metal/ silver would look. Might just order some more rolls of black and black out the whole truck and be done with it.. I'm so indecisive

I don't man, since wraps usually have small wrinkles in them, it makes it look like it was rattle canned.

Honestly, the hood looks like it was spray painted. While I don't personally like the urban camo, I like the idea of it because no one else does it and it sure is a head turner.

Yeah I'm kinda screwed. It does look crappy. I don't believe it's the wraps fault, I think it's the paint job underneath it. Very uneven and hazy. Matte would probably cover and make it look better but I don't like the look of matte unless it's on a sports car. Lol but the camo idea came about when I saw a picture of a tundra that was wrapped in urban camo with black trim. I'll post a picture. But yeah I don't have time to strip the truck down to metal and do it correctly until next summer. Just looking for something decent until then. Anyone have any ideas?

I think this looks good... I just got the truck and it's all stock. But many mods to come.
