Any stealth wrap pic on Brooklyn Gray?

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I know this question has been asked, but I have yet seen any...

As Brooklyn Gray among the top of the color choices, I am surprised no one here has done it yet... I guess we all waiting to see the result before dropping thousands of $$ (like me). I really want to do it as I plan to PPF it anyway, but afraid of losing the the blue hue if I chose stealth or satin over the clear... I like the matte look, but don't want the car look white or pale light gray afterward - I picked BG because of the blue hue.

Have you seen BG in person? I am pretty color savvy (I have eyes and all) and I don't think the blue hue is that pronounced.

I would ask your installer to put a small patch on the car to see how you like the look first. Should take maybe 10 minutes to put on a 1'x1' patch to see it.

Wow, thanks Silent_ Bob! This is the best looking stealth color for the M3 that I've seen. Looks amazing, and has once again thrown my color choice into question

It almost doesn't have the pronounced matte finish look. Big fan of this! I'm on the fence of doing just the front with xpel and ceramic the rest or doing full xpel stealth. This makes the decision that much harder.

Now I'm curious, how much more expensive is the stealth wrap compared to regular XPEL?

Ooooh, thank you. I was tempted to wrap my door handles as well. Gunna have my guy do that quick as he finishes up my stealth AW.

Thanks @Silent_Bob!!! It looks great and helps! This is exactly what I wanted to do, wrap the handle in gloss black as well... what type of wrap is this exactly?

Someone posted their stealth wrapped BG on reddit. Of course they were met with the typical reddit smoothbrains acting childish and insulting the choice of car. https://www.reddit.com/r/BMW/comment..._xpel_stealth/

Lol i saw this post. Gave it an upvote.

r/bmw is like the comment section of any local newspaper. The place is cancer and I only pop in there now and then to see all the base model F30 owners talk smack about ANY OTHER model of BMW.

Beside the stupid comments... the BG stealth wrapped from these pictures made it look pretty "white" almost Alpine White'ish? could be the lighting... but there is no "grey" from these pix at all.

There’s probably some amount of filter on those photos, but I don’t know strong it is to offset the grey.
