  • Colour match help needed please for various vinyls?

    Hi guy’s

    I have a customer whose very fussy about his fleet colour, he’s looked at everything I have a chart/swatch for but we’ve failed to find a match he’s happy with, I’ve listed off the charts I have, if anyone see’s a brand/type I’ve missed please, please point it out…

    Grafityp – all current materials
    Intercoat – 9700
    Oracal – 651/751
    LG – LC7000
    Ritrama – O400/Pantone/L100
    MACal – 8300/8900/9800
    APA – cast/elite/super

    He had chosen graficast C125, so I ordered 30m, when it came in I stupidly cut up some to apply to Two vehicles, when he saw it he said it looked a little "Bluey" (pre application thank god) so called it off, the closest Pantone match he’s happy with is 327c.

    Thanks

    Mark (a little stressed) B

    I’ve had a look through my metamark, 3m, oracal, mactac and avery swatches. Nothing at all close to that pantone ref 🙁

    Try Avery 900 series, they do one they claim is 327c

    😮 😮 isnt it cheaper to get some vinyl coloured to your spec rather than repaint a fleet of vehicles!!!!
