Color Matching With Vinyl Wrap

Panfishpro · Sep 6, 2019

just picked up a 2019 laramie and im wondering if anybody has ever done any color matching with vinyl wrap. my truck is the ivory white and id like to hit the badges with some wrap and the black pillars between the front and rear doors, has anybody found a color and brand that matches the ivory white pretty close? any help is greatly appreciated!

Avery design makes a white ivory which is very close to the colour of the truck. Its a little brighter but not really noticeable....

So far not much, I took 4 carriage bolts and wrapped the heads of them to make bumper plugs. It came out alright for just a proof of concept. Ill redo them sometime.

Most people don't even realize they are there.

If the 5th gens are like the 4th gens, that black pillar area is actually something you can peel off to reveal the body color under it.

they are a separate black plastic piece unfortunately on these trucks

FCA finally realized you can't use vinyl where you have an intersection of multiple different materials that expand and contract differently and not have wrinkles and peeling! Only took them the entire 4th Generation. No more vinyl pillars - piano black polymer. If you wrap this particular plastic, expect to be re-wrapping every few years. The better avenue is painting them for a permanent match, or if you want a really cool accent do something with hydrographics and bury it in a gloss or satin clear.

There's a company that you can find on eBay and Amazon selling paint-matched bumper plug as another option. There's also a member over at 5thgenrams that has them made and sells them to those with painted bumpers at a slightly better price and feedback says better paint matching too.

i will definitely be getting them smoothed and painted eventually i just want to try the wrap to see how it looks and for the fact that i can always remove it. and i remember on my 4th gen the wrap was wrinkled in the corner by window trim.

my truck also didn't come with a spray in bed liner and im also in the process of trying to find a place that could do the colored line x. i want to try and get it sprayed white. i dont haul anything crazy maybe a four wheeler or snowmobile here and there so im not concerned with it staining, but i think it would be pretty unique
