Hi Folks,
I'm toying with the idea of temporarily wrapping a few of my body panels vinyl, approximate factory colors that I am considering. I feel that I can get a fairly close match to solids like Inka. Taiga will undoubtedly be tough, but it still gives me the opportunity to stare at some green samples. Depending on the state of my rockers, I just might completely wrap my car. Cost should be about $400. It's an expensive test but it's cheaper than spending thousands of dollars on a paint job that I'm not thrilled about. I can still work on the floors, engine, and interior without messing with the rest of the body. That will keep me busy for quite some time.
Here are my samples so far. What I would like to do is have you PM me your address so I may mail some samples to you. Alternatively, Paypal you $10 so you can order the samples yourself (if you don't want to give me your address). Once you have the samples, lay them on the hood etc. and snap a pic. Ideally under different light conditions. Email them back to me and I'll update this thread.
Below are the samples that I have ordered thus far. There are a multitude of orange colors offered by 3M, Avery, etc. I have a 12" 'Turkis' sample also, but it looks too dark.
3M Burnt Orange:
3M Gloss Bright Orange:
Avery Gloss Light Green Pearlescent. This one seem pretty off depending on the light, but it a good "do I like green" test:
