I think it's a neat idea, but I also think it would be difficult to pull off in person. From a short distance, it would look like manufacturer camo, or just look dirty. If your panel gaps are not that good, then it will look like a car with poor fits that looks dirty. I don't mean to be negative, but there is a big difference between a car looking good in pictures and a car looking good as you stand next to it. Those little details like panel gaps, imperfections in the wrap as they try to get it to stretch to the correct position to line up...depending on how fastidious you are....and being an engineer I assume you are more so than most....will drive you insane.
Standing next to a race car, I have been surprised at how rough they look in person. They look great on tv, even close up shots. But it's not the same. I said in my build log that I wasn't going to spend a lot of time on appearance, I wanted to get the car running then worry about looks later. But I can't help myself. Like a vampire that has to count the toothpicks when thrown on the floor.
I'm an engineer...not a vampire
The cars that you see with good fits have likely had a lot of time spent getting there. The car doesn't just fall together, unfortunately. Is that picture of your SLC? Have you already built one or are you planning one? If you've already built it, I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.
Pete, that's a very cool color scheme. And car. I can't wait to see what you come up with.
