Wrap ideas - need help/opinions

Came home from the wrapping shop yesterday with a clear decision in my head about what to go for - it was Gloss Metallic Magnetic Burst (see photo).

Showed it to my wife and she reckons it’s a no. It’s happening, (I’ve paid), so I need a decision on colour.

I can’t make this decision alone… 😭

It needs to stay classy and I really don’t like Matt (no offence intended it just doesn’t do it for me - a car should be shiny IMO).

I need help… Any ideas???

And not just interior, there will be spots in the door frames etc where you will see base paint probably. This contrast will be visible as will the contrast to your interior colors.

Ask the wrap person where you will see base paint exposed. Doors, trunk, mirrors, hood, etc. this is where the price goes up.

Yes I’m aware of this. The quote I’ve got includes the door and boot shuts.

The car sonic speed blue at the moment so if I use a colour that’s similar or that goes well then I don’t think the engine interior really matters.

Blues go nicely with Ivory - I had a 328GT in Estoril Blue and what was very close to the current Ivory leather - very nice.

Greys look good with Ivory.
