I’m going have PPF applied to my ‘13 Anniversary Z06. The stripes have numerous scrapes and defects that I would like to address. Complete replacement seems to be the proper solution as the front bumper, hood, roof and rear spoiler all have issues.
My PPF guy verified that Phoenix Graphics is using the “good” stripe material (3M?).
I contacted them and they sent a sample of “Silver”. Not a very good match to the “Pearl Silver Blue” factory stripes. Does anyone know who can provide a good match to the factory color?
Since it has a B92 hood, that also has to be factored in.
Thanks!
I am not sure it continued all the way to 2013, but traditionally, the OEM C6 stripes were painted vinyl (flexible paint applied over a vinyl substrate) not just colored vinyl. If this was the case for the Anniversary cars, you will likely never a colored vinyl that matches.

Interestingly, I’ve not been able to find a paint code for “Pearl Silver Blue” as, I was willing to touch up the scrapes on the stripes.
I ordered my striping kit in 2024 from Mike at www.vettestripes.com. The color is gloss metallic gray blue. He also provides detailed installation instructions. The professional installer praised the quality of both the material and the fit of the precut sections. The company can accommodate different configuration details related to front fascias and spoilers, too.

Just an FYI. 2013 427 60 here ... I ordered a full set of the Phoenix Stripes for an experiment last year .... Was thinking about a cosmetic change ( opted not to )
Everything but the hood was a 99% match ... The hood - EPIC FAIL ... Not even close. Never used them ( any of them )
Nice guys ... But the hood was waaaayyyyyy off
EDIT !!!! ... I have a high rise hood .... Sorry .... MAYBE the standard hood would be better.

I ALSO have the high rise (B92) hood! I sorted this out beforehand:
Z06 (coupe) from the windshield back - “427” (high tise convertible) front half…
However, color discrepancy is a NO for me.
BTW, they do show 427 sets (they cut their own vinyl).
Thanks!
