Ultima red vinyl wrap...

[bitsilly]

I have now established that the car is in Ultima gel coat colour Ford radiant red.
However, the top and bottom of the windscreen have been vinyl wrapped in the same colour to give the windscreen a more letter box shape, which I love!
Unfortunately, the windscreen wiper gauged a rip in said vinyl which can really only be properly sorted by replacing all the wrap on the glass.
So, my helpful gurus, am I able to source wrap of the correct colour anywhere?
Cheers yet again!

you can paint the vinyl with color that you want.
there are suitable products

I don't know what it's like in the UK but vinyl is pretty easy to come by on the roll or cuts here in the US.

Given the advent of the sprayable plastics like Plastidip maybe that would be easier route?

Most car wrapping specialists will be able to help.
I had a full screen and side windows "sun shaded" (two colours) along with some black wheel arch "spats" for £250.00

Did mine with adhesive vinyl sheet myself.

Laser level helped get it straight.

I think that's fine if you can get a colour match, but there is no vinyl to match my paint for example. I didn't actually know you could paint vinyl or the windscreen! Will look into that

Thanks again gents,
I've ordered some red wrap and will have a go.
Presuming I mess it up I'll find a wrapper to have a try,
And if they can't help then the plastic paint sounds a good idea.
Also didn't know you could paint glass and vinyl.
Cheers

Just had a thought, it may look better if the coating is on the inside, at least that way the wipers won't scratch it, no idea if possible yet!

It will not work on the inside as it will look a different colour through the glass/acrylic.

My wipers don't have a problem.

I suspect shipping the car to California and back to Wales may be a bit OTT.
