3M Vinyl question

[Jakob]

Has anyone used 3M vinyl to color match their front bumper? I'm not a fan of chrome, but am thinking a gloss white 3m 1080 vinyl would match pretty close. I plan on matching my front bumper, as well as the surround to an AT grille I have sitting at home. Pictures of said jobs would be appreciated.

Subscribed. Right now I'm debating on trying this. But not sure if they could put my color on a vinyl wrap. Does anyone know if you could get a white diamond tricoat vinyl wrap?

I doubt you're going to find a WDT vinyl but plastidip pearlizer is a perfect match to WDT. If you wanted to do that for a cheap temporary solution...here is a thread I did on it when I had my WDT Escalade

Some places can also make custom color plasti dip. I know there are two shops in my city that do.

 

I have seen the white without clear coat or pearlizet start to yellow after time. It's an easy fix though, just freshen up the top coat.

The base white plastidip in the matte finish doesn't match up well with the Summit White but if you throw 2-3 coats of glossifier it ends up a pretty decent match. Here is a pic I took half in the sun and half in the shade to show the color variations, the bumper plastics are plastidipped

 

DipYourCar has been working on a "super clear" for awhile, it's supposed to mimic automotive clear properties and shine but with the peelability of plastidip, it will be a game changer once it's finally released

I got a sample from color bomb for silver metallic . It was close but not close to my liking. I am having my bumpers color matched this week along with a 3 clear wrap over the bumper to protect from chips.

Yessir. I bought mine off eBay from auto vinyl solutions. I wrapped the bowties and the molding above the fogs.

Link to the wrap you bought. How well does it match?

The match isn't absolutely perfect but neither are your other options. It really varies with the light but that's the way the paint is in general.

i actually have a small amount of white diamond vinyl. my adillac CTS was white diamond.

it was made by avery vinyl however it was discontinued a couple year ago, it was also crazy expensive in comparison to standard colours.

the amount to do your front bumper at dealer cost would have been about $150-200

Some better pics.

I have a few things in the works that I haven't mentioned that are gonna pull everything together. Don't worry [emoji41] it's getting dechromed soon enough.
