How close can you get to matching the factory colors? I was searching the other day
online for some sheets to match my birch white. I want to cover the rear side windows
like in your pics

Thanks!
Most of our clients want to change the color into a diffrent ona than they have, if you do that by paint it will cost a lot to have it propperly done, 2nd it is very hard to sell a custom colored car sinca a lot of people assume it has been in an accident prior to re-paintong it. This way you can also change color as often as you wish as long as the wallet allows it
Some people do it to brand new cars because the wait for the color they want is too long. This is a great way to personize your vehicle without making it permanent and it will keep the re-sale value better.

I work mostly with orafol (oracal) and the vinyl i used came from them but it is a special order som not in their regular color charts.

Yours looks nice, that is the green i was thinking about using but like i said think the wife would complain a little
We did a hummer h2 in that green, looked really cool I'll see if I can find the pictures to post them here.

The whites are almost impossible to match unless you do a special order but then you will need to order a large quantity so it will not be worth it.
For windows i would go with the printing vinyl with holes in it without printing it just using it white.
That way you can see out but not into the car and if the color isn't exact match it still looks good and people will not react to it the same way as with a solid.

H3FT, I love that last wrap! I had a ZX7 a little while back that I painted up like that, I always thought that style looked great.

Also very cool! It seems that the color change wraps are just gaining poularity over here. I know that the EU market has been doing it for a while, but after seeing all the wraps at SEMA this year it is a growing trend.
