Here are some pics of a van i did with vinyl that i painted with ordinary Dulux gloss. If you know the RAL number or Pantone Ref Dulux can match it with a paint.
The purply colour on this van is paint. I used macal 9800 series grey, cut enough of a roll as you need and if possible tape on to a vertical surface, scothbrite the vinyl then clean with meths or panel wipe. Get a 4″ gloss roller and paint the whole piece of vinyl and leave to dry, preferably overnight.
Next day cut as normal and apply using low tack appli tape.
This is a good way to match hard to find colours, a litre of paint costs about £8.00 trade so is quite inexpensive too.

Nice work Neil and a great tip for colour matching. I didn’t know you could use standard gloss paint on vinyl like that, does it not flake over time?
Cheers, Dewi

Make sure you prep the vinyl before paint go on
