Wrap vinyl closest to Porsche GT3 RS green?

[Haakon]

Hi, I'm stuck here and was wondering if any of you could help me out. A customer wants his silver 996 GT3 mk1 wrapped in the same colour as the 997 GT3 RS in green, a Porsche color named Signal Green with the paint code 2D8.

I went to my local bodyshop and had them mix up a sample of the colour so I could match it to my vinyl swatches to see if I could get a (close enough) match.

The closest I could get with my suppliers brands (Oracal and Avery) was the Police Green from Oracals 970RA range, but that is too dark (see enclosed pic). Avery Supreme wrap series did not have a slight match even.

The closest vinyl I could find was Oracal 062 Light Green from the 751 series, so if any of you can use that as a reference to see if either 3M or Hexis have a match for that one? Oracal, Avery, 3M and Hexis are the only wrap vinyl makes available here in Norway, but I do not have any colour charts for 3M and Hexis.

If I cannot find a close(ish) match I have to turn down the project, but I want to come through for this customer, it can lead to new markets (he is not local, but chose me after seiing the 2012 Nissan GTR I wrapped in winter camo style)

Here are some pics to show the colours:

You're wasting your time looking. Sell him on 2 identical wraps. Perhaps the 1080 matte military green. Here's a sample.

The colour is set, he wants just that colour, the only choice is between wrapping or painting the car. That 3M military green is pretty sweet, I have wrapped my own car in it, but it was not what he wanted. I think maybe the gloss Kelly Green from the extended 1080 range might be close enough? But only the matte and brushed metal finishes are available over here as of yet. 1080 series was just introduced in Europe this winter.

You've had 85 series for a while though no? Anything in that?

85 series was pulled from the marked because of many reported failures over here in europe. Well actually only the coloured ones, white and black remains.

But talking to the customer over the phone today, and sending over the pics, we agreed that the Police Green from Oracal 970 series was a close enough match. I send him the colour chart by mail today (he is not local) for a final approval so there is no miscommunication.

Still a month away from the projected install, I'm moving in to a new building from April (brand new building with installbay large enough to house full semitrailers indoors), so we'll see how it pans out when he gets the colour swatches.

When was this?

When was this?

At least a year ago (when I first inquired the 3M dealer), for colours they only offered the 180 series, but at twice the price of 85 series. Only black and white remained from the 85 series. But the 180 series sold here (atleast) only has Comply V1, with the visible grid lines in the vinyl.
