    Thanks Derek, I will track down the swatch and see if the customer is happy with the match?

    The darker blue we have to now actually get the ral match as its being powder coated now.

    Hi Carrie

    542 is sort of dark wedgewood – best I can find is Mactac – 8339-34

    295 – Oracal 751 – 050 or 059 not sure as its right where I hole punched my swatch lmao…

    Oracle 542 – No Chance Carrie

    hope that helps Carrie

    not sure how many metres your after but you could have someone print the vinyl the pantone colour, if its only a few metres your after.

    It was 5mtrs, not a lot at all. We have actually gone for the mactac now, ordered and sorted. Spandex we would have to have ordered 50mtr of 1220mm …. dont need all that!!

    Yes I suppose printing would have been a good option …. something to look at next time maybe.

    I have a pantone swatch book thingy ordered now should get that this week ……. whats the bet that now Ive bought one that we wont get anyone stating a pantone ref for the next year … :lol1:
