    Default Grey vinyl bottoms help possible paint match...

    Hi I have a 90 sr in laser blue and it's going for painting in a few weeks however I've been all over to various graphic shops etc and they can not match the original vinyl colour that was on the lower half.. has anyone painted there's on and managed to find a good match slightly textured too ? I don't want it light grey and I don't want it black I want it in between .
    Thanks sam

    Some have it painted on rather than vinyl. Any decent body shop should be able to match it.

    I have my SR painted, took a sample to the paint supplier, they added some matting agent to dull the gloss finish
    Regards

    I got some vinyl from a place called ASAP signs in Wrexham. Had loads of shades to choose from. I managed to get the exact shade I needed for the sill vinyls on my sport. They cut it to size also and were very helpful.

    Thanks to photobucket I haven't any to hand, finish was a little glossy, but prefer it to vinyl where stone chips allow water to get under it and cause rust
