Default Vinyl help.

I got the halo part of the roof wrapped today and tried to get my transparent top to look like the exposed carbon fiber top with the sides the same color as the car but the vinyl was not the same color white as my car. Anyone that has done this can they tell me what brand and color vinyl they used to get it to match?

I talked to Sean at VetteFX today, and asked him if he plans to offer this in vynl. He said it is hard to get an exact factory match for the exterior color, but he is working on it.

Here is another option that I plan to try. Duplicolor offers spray paint that you can buy in factory colors. They also offer an Adhesion product so the paint sticks better.

And if it does not turn out good, then it is off to the paint booth for a professional paint job.

Keep me posted if you try anything else,

Will paint stick to the top that good? My only other option if I can't get the vinyl to work is to buy a white top and wrap the middle part black but I don't want to spend that much money to get the look. I will eventually but not anytime soon if the vinyl doesn't work out. I don't think I want to paint my transparent top.
