Best source for vinyl wrap?
I am looking for a vinyl wrap to match the light blue on my CS coupe.
Metro Restyling has a lot of selection but nothing close in color...can anyone recommend another source with lots of selection? Thanks,

Metro Restyling is really nice to work with, and I've had good experience with their customer service. My first tip would be to order a bunch of samples. The color on the website doesn't always correspond exactly to the real-life color.
2nd tip is to check out my in-progress wrap project :P Wondering about vinyl wrapping? I'm doing my car and filming it!

Samples, for sure. Not all vinyl wrap is created equal. Some fade fast, shrink, scratch easily...I doubt you'll ever find a match that isn't discernible from 10ft. What do you plan to wrap?

Thanks guys...I'll check out Fellers....Metro sent me some samples and while none matched the CS one was a dead ringer for the gemini blue on the 911 in the background.
I'm repairing rust on the CS that required removing a section of the quarter panel. Paint might have to wait a few years while I get to the other side and some rust in the front fenders so a wrap would be a good temporary solution. Need to drive this thing! ![]()
