  • nearest match please of motorhome vinyls?

    Posted by Kev Dunn on 25 October 2007 at 15:45

    Hi Folks.

    Been asked to produce some decals for one side of a Motorhome.

    I’m needing a Peach Colour of Vinyl and Oracal has nothing close in my charts.

    Has anyone seen a colour like this and where should I get it from.

    Kind Regards

    Kev

    Spandex sell Avery.

    You can probably find that colour in other manufacturers ranges too but Avery do a wide range. It’s worth getting swatches from all the suppliers really.

    Out here we also get Universal films vinyl. They have a huge selection of colors too.

    As I don’t have a colour chart for Oracal 551. Is there anything close in anyone else’s charts?

    I only have the booklet type charts for 751c, 851 and 651 and theres nothing close.

    (?) which Avery colour did you find that matched that? I have a few Avery swatch books and can’t find a peach colour among them.
    Same too with Oracal from 551 to 851, no peach. Neither has Metamark or Mactac or 3M ……………… they all having varying shades of orange but not what I would call peach.

    Kev, it’s difficult to match to what I can see on screen here, your best option is to get as many swatch cards from different suppliers as you can and compare it directly with the sample you have. 😀 The screen resolution will be different from one pc to another and we’ll all be seeing your sample differently……… 😕

    Suppliers will send you them out quickly, give several a call this morning and you’ll have them by Monday! 😉

    another thing to remember kev…if you have taken the vinyl sample off the motorhome it will probably have faded a bit with age….you would be quicker replacing all the vinyl to the nearest match 😀
