I'm sure to offend, but I'm not a Pangea fan. I'm old school and am still crying in my coffee that they didn't go with a more traditional British Racing Green. I don't see Master Chief in Pangea. Maybe Austin Powers on a good day...

For the record, now that I've seen most of the flavors in real life - I wish I had gone Tasmin Blue with the White Roof. I'm still plotting to do a wrap/repaint down the line in something closer to this (without the carbon fiber & stripes, but with an Ivory roof):

Ha.... I was never a fan of British Racing Green, especially on bikes. I'm still of the "green bike = bad luck" kinda guy.

I think if we'd had it to do over we might have gone Blue with white roof also - though Godwana or even White looks pretty darn good. Then again maybe we'd still have gone Pangea and just added the white roof.

Still we're very happy with the Pangea - and no way man it's completely Master Chief. I have this on good authority - the half-dozen friggin' millennial in-laws of mine that still play Halo into their late 20's/early 30s lol.

@Defendit.. - I'm EAGERLY awaiting more photos and details of your process!! I see that you're doing a lot of the disassembly yourself. I'd likely do the same. Why the removal of the front quarter panel? Also, more photos or details of what you stripped would be excellent. Thanks!

I'm partial to the green myself.. and for those brave enough to do a quality repaint, totally worth it. Car wears these colors exceptionally well...

to me, the best part about a respray v wrap is that the interior carries the exterior color... do it right and its awesome on the doors, etc.. Cannot wait to see what you chose.

it's actually a mercedes custom paint code. I looked at options from Porsche, retired Land Rover colors, Mercedes, and Aston Martin and chose this one.. I think it is fantastic on the curves.. The aintree green was a little flatter

THAT's what I'm talking about!! I had a 2015 Chevy High Country 2500 in the green metallic that I've already picked out the paint codes from. The only diff is I'm looking for the right ivory color for the roof & wheels. It's my long range plan / dream / scheme.

Not my truck, but I had it's twin. Still dig the color though.
