I'm about ready to pull the trigger on a full body vinyl wrap on my 2013 black LC. But I'm really stuck on what color. I really like satin black but I also love the OD green that's on some of the Trail Teams editions of the FJ Cruiser. I'm doing this for both paint protection and to give it a cool look. What does everyone think on color? Please leave a comment if you've got a suggestion I didn't list in the poll. Thanks!
Please help me choose the color of my vinyl wrap

Maybe?
I vote for sandstorm on the 200. I think it would look pretty cool and very unique.

I like titanium, what kind of wheels are on it?

OD green similar to the trail edition and what they offered on the 80 series and tundra/200 for a year. Or the sandstorm

There is a wrapped OD green 200 on here somewhere..
I love a good dark blue with metallic undertones
If you're going to go through the trouble and expense of wrapping, do something badass. Why chose a plain drab color just to appear like it's a military vehicle. Do something awesome like Multicam black or M90 camouflage?

Heehee...
I like it...but wouldn’t it be cheaper to just barf on your car a few times a week?

What about matching TRD pro cement gray or calvary blue? There’s a calvary blue tundra I see a lot and I’m partial to the color with it’s black accents...
Of the options you listed, I’d go with military green.

There’s a 200 around here somewhere with this color already. Looks sharp but a little too military.
If you expect a lot of pin striping on the vinyl, gray tones help hide some of it and recover very well.

I also really love the new Cement Toyota color and feel like that color would help hide dirt and pinstripes...
Out of the examples you've posted, I like this colour the best by far.
That said, I find the majority of wrapped vehicles to give off a cheap look. I can't help but think of riced out civics and plastidip when I see them.
I looked into wrapping my Tacoma for paint protection purposes, and found that a full vehicle wrap was in the neighbourhood of $4k CAD, and at that price point I could simply re-paint the entire vehicle if I needed to. Plus, wraps have a limited lifespan. Food for thought.

Yeah I definitely wouldn't be doing it if it was going to cost that much. But I've got a buddy that does it professionally that's going to do it for me (with me helping) for free...and the cost of materials is less that $600 so it's a no brainier.
And I know what you mean about the cheap look... I think matte finishes and not having a very professional installation contributes to the cheap look. Hopefully I can avoid that.. and if nothing else it's only cost me 600 and a couple evenings of time and it can be removed.
Thanks for your thoughts!
Good point to bring up. They do have limited lifespans and should be removed within a time window. Beyond that there's a very real likelihood that it will not come off nicely, potentially damaging the paint underneath. If the paint is not OEM and has been resprayed, it may very well peel off upon normal removal. Not saying not to wrap, but like eatSleepWoof says, food for thought.
