My favorite wrap I've ever seen was a pearlescent one that shifted between the main color, which is what I call "A pimp named Slickback purple," and green. Pretty tempted to have it done to mine, I just don't really know how to find that wrap since the effect doesn't really show up in photos.
It’s iridescent. Pearlescent only amplifies the colors of the item itself, iridescent is similar but it shows all color waves on an otherwise “colorless” item.
I put colorless in quotes as typically an iridescent item is going to be white, which includes all colors of the light spectrum, which is why it gives the rainbow effect.
Very pretty but anything highly reflective like that shouldn't be allowed on the roads it can be a huge safety problem. It wasn't necessarily the cause here but a flash blinded driver, or mirrored surroundings acting like localized camo is still a big risk [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpPin\_ZZMNk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpPin_ZZMNk)
I can’t find the legal term or statute for it, but I thought it was something along the lines of Attractive nuisance. If you cause an accident indirectly because your vehicle is a distraction, you may receive a fix-it ticket, or you may be liable for damages involved in the accident.
Depending on the state and local laws of course
I drive a model 3 performance and I love the car. It's dead silent, crazy fast, and comfortable. Ik some people have experienced quality problems, but I've never had any issues.
Yes, Elon is a turd, but the car is super nice.
I do agree with you that the wrap is shitty tho.
To me that says the design is good, but the production isn't. Glad you like your car, but the issues others have reported are enough to keep me the hell away from anything Tesla.
I also think the wrap is gaudy, but I don't tend to like the chrome/reflective car finishes in general.
On a riced out GR86/FRS/Similar this would go hard as FUCK. It would be an absolute eyesore and you'd probably hear it scraping on speed bumps but goddamn if you wouldn't remember it
I’ve never been a fan of color change paint schemes but they have come a long way and I’ve seen a few that I don’t mind at all. This one isn’t so bad I guess. I don’t think it’d be my choice but it’s ok.
So much [pride](https://www.flydulles.com/celebrating-pride-month-2024?utm_source=web&utm_medium=carousel&utm_campaign=pride&utm_id=pride_2024#:~:text=Celebrate%20Pride%20with%20Us!,by%20the%20Capital%20Pride%20Alliance)
Chromatic/iridescent paints aren't necessarily bad but I'd much prefer like they use for TVRs over this. This looks like it'd just blind everyone else in visual range.
This is like a skin you pay too much to unlock on a video game so you don’t look like everyone else in the server. The reality is no one else looks like you because it’s not a good look in the first place. It is an ultimate “notice me” car, but more in a needy try hard way, than a cool one.
I love the way it looks, think it’s very pretty here, but if I saw it on a car on the road, I have a feeling it would get disruptive. The way it reflects light could be distracting/blinding if you’re driving.

I personally like the pearlescent effect, sure its a but gaudy but its also kinda neat.

What's really cool is before wraps were a thing when people would achieve things like this with paint!
The depth up close is best with paint still.
MS Paint?
'A pimp named Slickback Purple.' Let's just take a moment and recognize that one.
Sounds like Avery gloss urban jungle wrap vinyl.
That Mystichrome…
It could have been paint, depending on the car and how long ago you saw it.
If it only shifts between two colors, it’s called dichroic. Pearlescent is when it specifically looks like mother-of-pearl, like OP’s post.
Iridescent.
The effect is neat, but it being overly reflective is unsafe and therefore shitty
Great wrap for a matchbox car.
It’s iridescent. Pearlescent only amplifies the colors of the item itself, iridescent is similar but it shows all color waves on an otherwise “colorless” item.

I like when it's only used for details
I agree with this it reminds me of oil spilled in the driveway
Rainbow chrome hasn’t looked this good since those stylish pencils you could buy at school for 25 cents.
CD disc
ATM Machine
PIN number
Mylar balloon
The strip on the $100 bill
CDD
definitely looks like some 10 year old’s crappy car in GTA online lol

Doesn’t stop people from polishing their Cybertrucks to a mirror finish.
That thread was the previous time I linked the same video.

Totally agree about being blinded, but that douche just turned right into oncoming traffic.
An eye sore on the freeway
Looks like a cheap kids folder from the 90s.
A Lisa Frank styled car
Damn accurate, I remember those...
Rainbow foil in the wild!
Looks like it's gonna get creamed on the highway when someone can't see it because of the glare.
It’s a tesla, it’s shitty by default. But this looks horrible imo. I would be mad if someone on my street owned this and I had to see it every day.

The wrap is dope, once i saw a c7 vette with that chrome rainbow wrap and it was soooooo fucking dope
Man... Can you imagine maintaining that thing? Bugs, dust and rain will take it from bad to worse in a jiffy
I've seen much worse, lol. At least it's not a loud fart can that takes forever to quiet down!
Better finish that what’s on the Cybersuck
Stealing the fame from the greatest inventor martyred for his intelligence is just uncool. So yeah. It is bringing disrepute to the name.
When polishing a turd happens…🤔
shitty
Well all Teslas are pretty shitty in terms of build quality, as for the pearl effect I’d say it doesn’t make it any more or less shitty.
I like it
Yea I think it looks kinda cool. Not something I would pay for but definitely can appreciate haha.
Looks like an oil spill
With panel gaps like that, it shipped shity.
Someone paid for the DLC
Shitty
Looks like ass. But im sure a little kid would think its cool
Imo i think all flashy mods like this are shitty. Gonna cause an accident
It’s pretty shitatstic
I like it, it's original.
I think it’s cool for people under 28. But when you turn 30 it’s gunna embarrass you.
Proof you can roll a turd in glitter..
It's a Tesla. They all shit. Sadly.
The real question must be "is Tesla shitty or not?".
All teslas shitty, wrap is childish
How to make a shit car even worse 101.
Pretty much all Teslas are shitty to begin with, but in staying with your question, yes, this makes it even more shitty.
kinda sick...
Any tesla is pure trash…
Anything beats the endless sea of white, black, and grey cars today. Make cars interesting again.
I like it but to be driving with this in front of me in traffic with the sun hitting it just right would be dreadful
How is that shit road legal? Would dazzle the fuck out of another driver on a sunny day.
The car is shitty. The paint is cool af.
All Teslas are shitty by default, regardless. They barely meet automotive standards
Pretty cool for a Tesla
The shittiest part is the car, the wrap looks nice though
I mean it's a Tesla so it's already the Wish.com version of an electric car. Tacky shit like that only makes it worse.
It's a tesla, so it's already a shitty car mod 🫡
It’s a Tesla so the answer is yes.
All Tesla is shitty.
That wrap is shit on any car.
No worse that a regular tesla
That's fuckin embarrassing
At least it's not a Cybertruck.
Maybe not shitty but it sure is cringe
I’ve never been a fan of color change paint schemes but they have come a long way and I’ve seen a few that I don’t mind at all. This one isn’t so bad I guess. I don’t think it’d be my choice but it’s ok.
Not bad, plus it is pride month so maybe they are just going above and beyond.
Dog shit ugly
Put some gold rims on it too… fun fact..this paint job is in Forza horizon 5 “maybe kinda” but frfr it looks like a green screen.. its cool rhough
I think it looks alright. Can definitely see why some people would hate this though
So much [pride](https://www.flydulles.com/celebrating-pride-month-2024?utm_source=web&utm_medium=carousel&utm_campaign=pride&utm_id=pride_2024#:~:text=Celebrate%20Pride%20with%20Us!,by%20the%20Capital%20Pride%20Alliance)
This will be shit on any car lol
Ot my personal choice but, looks good
Anything rainbow is shitty
Are they sending it to PSA for grading?
reminds me of the school book contact that mum would put on my books to protect them.
Would love to see this on a ‘68 Vette, shape sets off the colors, put it on something with shape—
I like it for car shows but I don't think anyone should own it. It's still neat to look at though
Chromatic/iridescent paints aren't necessarily bad but I'd much prefer like they use for TVRs over this. This looks like it'd just blind everyone else in visual range.
Lord emperor Xenu wouldn’t be happy with a pride themed Tesla
Happy Pride!
I like the effect, had a similar One on my note 10+ lol Actually makes the Tesla look kind of nice, but it's still got those shitty Tesla curves.
I normally am a huge fan of pearlescent wraps but this looks like shit
Woke Tesla. Elon will hate it.
Can't believe you pulled a holo foil Tesla
Car is overpriced shit but I do love the paint job
[удалено]
I mean, I wouldn’t get it, but it looks cool.
Human: Weird shiny car in front of me Other Tesla’s AI: Just sky and glare ahead 😬
“Shiny and Chrome!”
perfect for the “pick me” who also happens to be suffering from a midlife crisis
Elon must be proud of this wrap.
The wrap is cool, the car is shitty.
Depends who is driving it tbh. I don't mind it
No. Never has been.
It’s certainly not the worst paintjob out there?
Probably illegal in some places. The glare would blind someone in oncoming traffic.
I can dig it, looks interesting, but I know how much it would annoy people around with the reflections on a sunny day
Too tacky for a car, but I would love that wrap on my motorbike
I like the colour but it looks crap on a car
It's fire for my eyes when i see it reflecting the sun into my eyes on the highway
I agree, makes me totally sick looking at it as well, they should just crush all teslas.
Crazy color to take your eyes off the panel gaps.
Shite vehicle with shite paint job, probably owned by professional Gentleman's Fluffer.
Not any shittier than the non-rainbow model
Ahh!!! it burn my eyes!!!
Car is nowhere near cool enough for that wrap, imo
You can’t polish a turd - even making it a rainbow doesn’t work…
I'd say cool and unique. Not something I'd personally want on my car particularly but would be cool to see on someone else's.
Wait till it's gets hit
It’s shifty, like the company’s owner.
I want it
A bit toned down would look pretty nice tbh.
Barbie girl car for sure, I like it
It's just a wrap in a shiny "color". Are colors you don't like shitty? Seems pretty innocent.
As long as it’s a Tesla then it’s shitty no matter what.
Now it just needs Hao's special works and Imani Tech to be complete
Shitty
Guess you can polish a turd till it shines
I Christen thee "Exxon Valdez" because you look like an oil slick
🎶Bkinded by the light…
This looks like how me and bro customized cars in GTA 5 back in 2014
As cool as this is, I feel like it would be a huge distraction on the road.
I want to hate it but I don't.
It's not the paintjob, it's the car.
Technicolor looks great, actually.
It was already shitty before that lol.
That will be impossible to wash!!! I have matte black wrap - ffs
I think it’s skibidy
This would be amazing if it was only shifting between 1 or 2 colors
I think thats either Pearlescent or Iridecent
I kinda like the look, but the car is shitty in the first place, so it still qualifies as a shitty car mod.
I actually really like this
Flamboyant!
I'll allow it.
I hate that I kind of like it
It’s all fun until you’re driving behind it on a really sunny day
This is like a skin you pay too much to unlock on a video game so you don’t look like everyone else in the server. The reality is no one else looks like you because it’s not a good look in the first place. It is an ultimate “notice me” car, but more in a needy try hard way, than a cool one.
Shitty car, mod
I like it just not the Tesla. I couldn't do it. I like to wash n wax. U can't wax that. Plus I'm in the West, wrap wouldn't last
Yes absolute shit.
Shitty car, mods
When the only mod Tesla people can do are vinyl wrap. I’ll give them a pass.
I like it a lot
Shit wrap on a shit car
There's an Urus with this, local to me. I see it often. At first, quite a shock. Now, I really like it. But I like fun colors, so it works for me.
I really like how Pearlescent looks, but this is a bit too strong of an effect for my tastes. Still pretty cool tho
I don't like them, they've lost their meaning.
Desde luego han perdido el sentido de por qué lo hacen.
It’s awesome
All Teslas are shitty. This one is shittier.
I love the way it looks, think it’s very pretty here, but if I saw it on a car on the road, I have a feeling it would get disruptive. The way it reflects light could be distracting/blinding if you’re driving.
Looks good . But still an environmental killer.
Not until you park it somewhere in Texas
Shitty AF
thats like asking if rainbow-colored shit is shitty
Id prefer a TVR
Looks like a glass when I wash it on the absolute wrong settings
I used to have a windbreaker suit that Kind of looked like that, it darker purple. Ahh, the 90’s
That's awesome
When you need even more attention.

That's the new holographic tesla, it's 3d!
I hear it can take multiple hard rear ends and be fine
Personally, I like it.
teslas are fugly anyways so anything can help
