Hi

Don`t really know where to post this so i put it here

So see my colour chart attached,for years i`ve searched for a certain orange colour ,it`s from an Aprilia, see top left is a sample of the original.
I`ve even asked 3M for some vinyl in that colour but they don`t have it it even tho that particular piece was supplied by 3M ,so i`m guessing maybe it was a
bespoke colour made especially for Aprilia?.

So i guess i`m asking if anyone has any ideas to get close to it on a VS300i ,ink set up: CMYK Lc LM Lb WHt
The picture looks a bit more fluorescent than it actually is, the closest to it on my chart is probably PR46K or PR45K but it`s nothing like it really.
I`m not expecting a solution but i`ll be pleasantly surprised and eternally grateful if anyone has tips to get close to a match

Gracias amigos

THE POINT IS
you are able too achieve difficult colors by taking a substrate color + a foil color
since inks are translucent, why can't you print 2 layers on top of each other to achieve the color you want?
