vinyl wrap color match to MineralGrau Metallic
Was wondering if anyone has found a wrap that matches the OEM paint color? Or even close?
I was looking a this on ebay to possibly wrap the wood part of the interior trim, didn’t know if it would be close or if someone knew a film that was. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Super-Gloss...t/283044571396 Last edited by Onizukachan; 01-24-2020 at 11:27 PM.. Reason: Autocorrect typo. |

The only way to be sure of a good match is to find a source that sells small sample sizes so you can compare a few to the paint.
Metrorestyling is one example. https://www.metrorestyling.com/ Last edited by Billfitz; 01-25-2020 at 08:43 AM.. |

I've been looking as well but no luck. I tried one similar to the one you linked to but it was pretty far off from matching the Mineral Grey.

Tried a few and couldn't get an exact match. Ebay seller is gone now but here are the descriptions..
I tried this 3M wrap and it was far off, too light: Gloss Mineral Grey Metallic 3M 1380 G281 This was the closest I got from Avery Dennison, but was also a slighty browner tinge compared to the blue-ish mineral gray: Gloss Metallic Grey Avery Dennison Supreme Wrapping Film - CB1590001 I used the Avery Dennison to cover up my reflectors. It's close enough that you wouldn't notice it unless you were looking for the reflectors. I'll try to get a picture to show the comparison. Keep in mind I had the wrap right up against the real paint. If you're using the wrap on another portion of the car, it may be close enough that you won't be able to tell the difference. |

I bought a sample sized piece of the Avery Dennison Wrapping film from this ebay seller: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Samples-Fil...72.m2749.l2649
I bought it to wrap my reflectors and it is definitely close enough. |
