Is Torch Red wrap available?
I would like to have my boomerangs wrapped with Torch Red. Does anyone know if this is available? Do you know of a good shop in the DFW that can do this?
Thanks!
Barney

Wrap companies dont make specific color matches, That being said 3M Gloss Hot Rod red is probably pretty close. I'd order a sample to be sure though.

Wouldn't trust that company as far as I can throw them... we looked into it and theirs zero info out there on them or any kind of review or testimonial, the only actual things they show on their website are silver vehicles... It seems shady. Also no information on the film their using itself which is another red flag

Bought from that website for Torch Red. Prior to purchasing, they confirmed the material was cast vinyl which is what you want for vehicle wraps vs other types. The price is spicy but a few painters by me didn't want to be bothered with painting the glass roof and I have concerns on long term durability. Color match looks pretty close and now just waiting on my installer to get free to knock it out. I will post up how it looks when done.

These folks can make any color wrap. I used them for my Blackwing Radient Red Tincoat which was a perfect match

I'm happy with how it turned out but I needed to go with PPF over top the vinyl as the texture had a little more "orange peel" than the rest of the paint. The PPF got it to the right finish and hell, roof is protected now. Here are a few quick pics.

How did the PPF over the top of the vinyl help? Did it smooth out or mask/hide the "orange peel" visible in the film? Does the film+PPF now have the same type finish as the actual Torch Red paint on your C8Z?
Would really appreciate hearing about how that worked for you. Thanks!
