  • 3M 1080 M229 Matte Copper Metallic – gloss alternative?

    Posted by Hugh Potter on 18 December 2018 at 11:11

    Hi all,
    as per the title, my customer loves the 1080-M229 Matte Copper Metallic, but they want it in a gloss.

    Does anyone know of an extremely close match in any other wrap / vinyl swatch? I’m not actually wrapping with it, just a couple of 1.8m high letters on a newly painted transporter, so I could laminate it with a poly lam. I could laminate it with gloss 3m wrap laminate but at that price and the fact I’m not wrapping per-sé!!

    thanks in advance.
    Hugh

    Hi Hugh
    Oracal do it in the 651 range code 092 copper, Ritrama do O-400 range code 474 copper and Avery 700 its 736-01 the avery one is not that nice but then I don’t have the 3m swatch to match what you are using.
    I have used the Oracal on a fleet of coaches, some are done over 10 years and the vinyl still looks as good as the day it went on.

    Thanks Joe, the 3m is quite different to those you’ve mentioned but thanks for taking the time to answer.

    regards,
