Well, it's all up to you but I'm just gonna give you a heads up that the matte white will require constant cleaning, it also stains easily.
Vinyl wrap color?
Hey guys/gals, I'm getting ready to venture down the vinyl wrap road and I found the brand I want to use (Oracal 970RA), but not sure what color. At first I wanted to go with the matte night blue metallic, but I have also always wanted a white car and looked at the matte white 970RA. If it matters, I am in the process of doing a full black alcantara with blue stitching swap inside the cabin. The matte night blue is almost the same shade as the WRB, which the car is now. Lemme hear some opinions. Thanks.

stains easily? I thought these things have a protective layer on them?
I'm not sure about that, can't confirm it or deny it. However, upon further research I find a lot of people complaining about how much of a pain in the ass it is to keep clean. It's not impossible, but it just requires a lot of cleaning from your end.stains easily? I thought these things have a protective layer on them?

I had searched it, and I guess I didn't realize it was that much of a pain. I'm gonna be going with the matte blue metallic. This'll be fun lol
Also, if you want to get an idea of how both wraps would look on your car to help you reach a decision, check these links

Btw, matte white is really good at showing off the lines on the hatch. Mine is plastidipped white, picture in my journal if you want to get an idea of the look, it would look much nicer and thinner though with vinyl.
Not sure if I need to say this but just stay away from plastidip if the thought ever crossed your mind.

Lol it did cross my mind and then I saw the issues with paint peeling and over spray and whatnot.

The white looks awesome and I've seen that blue wrx before. The color is a little more purple than the shade I chose.
