Guys - i have a volcano gray GTS. I hate the color - it doesnt pop and in my opinion looks a little bland.

So, I want to wrap it. I'm really struggling with the choice of color.

I have previously wrapped my Tesla X satin gray, my wife's X7 matte gray, and a my tesla Y chalk white.

I work in finance - drive to clients from time to time - want something unique but not too flashy.

not a big fan of matte black.

So here are the choices i'm grappling with:

- my initial favorite - rock glass gray - but it isnt a traditoinal matt or satin so i'm worried it wont show the lines. should i even care?
- matte charcoal - quite intriguing - prob the other favorite alongside rock glass

- matte gray aluminium - worried it might be a bit too shiny

- indigo blue - not a huge fan but it could be cool. cannot find a single taycan online that has that to see how it would look

I'd love any input!

I have both volcano grey and Carmine red and have to say I disagree about the VG not popping. Clean volcano grey looks just as good as my Carmine red

That said if you don’t like it fair enough wrap it

Maybe a screenshot of the colours you mention might help but colour is very personal

It’s seems to me that the colour which best suits your requirements and the cheapest option, is the one you already have.

Order a new one. Cars are so much cheaper in the US. Wait times appear to be coming down, 24 model year on the horizon. Resale of original car/color will be better than something in a wrap IMO.

What if you did a matte PPF on it? I've seen a few volcano greys on the forum that were wrapped with Xpel matte ppf and they look great.

Nice but it looks more like pewter than charcoal!

When you wrote charcoal I thought VG is my idea of charcoal already but this is much paler than I would have expected but I like it a lot (for a monochrome non-colour ;))

Much prefer the original Volcano grey, but it’s your car!

I’m in the same boat, i got a volcano grey n want a color that’s little brighter. When u got finished with the wrap did u have to take it to dealer to recalibrate anything?
