Vinyl help!

JJ-NISMO · 01-27-2011, 11:45 AM

I could use some help locating vinyl wrap for a full car wrap! I currently can only find 3m in gray, black, and silver and am looking for a satin blue.

Does anyone know where I can find a satin blue vinyl in 60x10?!?!?! If not, does anyone know of a shop that has nice enough printers to color match!? I live in SoCal and talked with a shop called Sticker City. They offered up some Oracal, but my installer says 3m is much better. Is this true?

The Oracal 970RA is a better product than the 3M comparable vinyl. It's designed specifically for vehicle wraps and has better air release technology. Although, different installers will prefer what they are more comfortable with and what they sell regularly.

ORACAL USA

Found it

Thanks 209Z.

They only have the blue available in gloss. I am trying to figure out if it is possible to do a matte laminate over the gloss 970RA to achieve a satin finish. Does anyone have experience with this?
