I didn’t understand Dravit until I saw one in person at my office. Very cool color and now I get the hype. It’s hard to capture how it changes at every angle.

The gray on that 4-runner looks nice too. What did Toyota call that grey... ?

Has anyone seen (and of course can provide some pictures of) a Dravit Grey M3 with the lower gloss black trim wrapped/painted to colour match the car?

I'm really contemplating about doing it but haven't seen any other member who's done it on a Dravit yet and I would really like to see how it looks first.

Any help would be appreciated... if a car like this even exists

I'm attaching a photo of a Sao Paolo M3 (sorry for posting different coloured car in this thread) that has the lower black trim coloured matched so you can see what I'm talking about.

I would rather have a color matched bottom on my dravit G80. But matching that gold flake in it just seems like a no win siutation. That much flake in paint almost always never looks right when repaired. Of course there are exceptions to that rule. But Im not sure I would do that with a metalic paint.

I second this. I would color match the lower pieces on mine as well if I didn’t fear the color match issue. I know it can be done but I don’t want to learn the hard way that the shop I chose was not capable. It would look great no doubt.

Yeah, I'm also a little hesitant because of this. I'm not sure if they will manage to match the paint 100%.

A local wrap shop that I work with is currently checking for me if they will be able to find a vinyl wrap that represents Dravit and if they manage to do so, I will just go that route since, if I don't like it, I can always remove it

It sure would look nice though. I hate the black bottom. I dont know what BMW was thinking. Color matched looks so much nicer to me.
