If you ordered the brush or black stainless steel and really wanted to change color or personalize it, couldn't you wrap it? Or will the wrap material not adhere to stainless??

Yes Stainless can be painted. Many have painted their Delorians.
Yes, as mentioned above with the proper technique, stainless can be painted. At last count, there were 98 painted DeLoreans out of a database of 8830. Some of those cars were painted as a result of body damage sometime in the car's life. More often than not, the cars that were painted get returned to stainless when they are restored.

I'll definitely get bare stainless for my CT. I really like how SS changes its looks slightly depending on the light conditions. For example, this is my car in the described conditions:

Rain/ overcast skies:
Tesla Cybertruck Cybertruck shell...what will you choose? ima


Bright Sunlight (no polish):

Inside (with SS polish):

In the various pictures I've seen, the Cybertruck has the same characteristics. The CT in stainless with black trim is a classic look in my opinion.

Black Matt for me, every time. Maybe a wrap to suit the mood otherwise.

Wouldn't mind matt black. Anyone know about wrap options? Am assuming companies doing wraps for model X's etc may wish to get into the Cybertruck wrapping business.

What about a "wrap"? Maybe a military tan or three color camo?

Yes a wrap will stick to stainless. It will not adhere to a polished stainless steel as well as the rougher stainless steel.

Good to know it is possible. I am shocked to find that something I read on the internet is not true :LOL:. Unless you live near the ocean or drive the salty roads of the north, I don't see the point of the extra expense of stainless steel if you are going to just paint it anyway. First time I've seen a painted Delorean...takes away most of the cool factor for me.

I agree 100%. That’s a very good look

Brushed stainless steel for me. I might get parts of it laser engraved with custom designs of my choice.
