Default Custom Wrap question?

Is it possible to order custom color matching wrap from any company or any custom wrap company to print?
So, a portion of the car can be covered quickly compared to having a paint job?
Any idea ?

I'd think it would all depend on your car color, since there must be many, many different wraps available. Have you actually spoken with any wrappers about this?

Not spoken to anybody yet. I am stuck at home dog sitting in CA while kids out having fun in Europe! Just saw few light scratches and dings on the front panel of the car by bumper line and I was just wondering and wanted to ask.
I have a unique LRG color. I'll check with a reputable wrapper once I get a chance to get out of the house!

Get some opinions from body shops to fix the paint.

It sounds like your asking if they can match your factory paint. In which case no... Theres several popular brands of vinyl that are used for vehicle wrapping. They each have their own book of colors they produce. The best bet is to try to match your color to one of those existing vinyls but rarely are they an exact match with the exceptions of blacks and whites (and even then the difference in finish is usually pretty obvious). I have seen where folks have commissioned a certain color to be printed onto a print media vinyl and applied to the car but this wont work for metallic colors and getting an exact match would be difficult. This option is also expensive to the point its probably easier to just fix whatever paint your trying to repair.
