Default 3M Colors

Does anyone know where I can find ALL the color options for 3M stripes on one website? I have searched the but the 3M site is not very easy to navigate. I have an 07 Vista Blue GT and I'm thinking of some type of silver, gray or charcoal 10" stripes with 1/4" pin striping and I want to do my homework before I go to a decal guy who only gives me limited options. Moreover, do most people use reflective or non reflective?

Thanks,

Patrick

Depends on the manufacturer. Each manufacturer that produces the vinyl has its own colors that it produces, so no, there's no overall encompassing website that has all these companies and the colors they make. For the most part, though, the colors are the same.

As far as reflective, most of us that do vinyls go with either gloss or more of a matted of flat type of stripe. The gloss are the more reflective between the three, but you can get true reflective vinyl that will reflect light the way a mirror does. I've only seen it done on one Mustang before, though.

Thanks so much. I wonder if I can find a gloss silver as I really don't like the flat look. Boozshey, do you have any close up photos of your hood or rocker panel stripes?

Default stripes

Check out the site and send him an email................I had a dream about copper on black and I emailed him .................he sent me some small sample dots of a copper metalic, It Was Perfect! But it was a discontinued color from 3m so I think I'm the only one that has it.

Try graphic-express.com. I ordered a stripe from BSM and it showed up crumpled into the tube and was sticking to itself. I emailed them and no response.

I'm looking at maybe getting a GT500 spoiler for my car. Do you guys think BSM could make me some black stripes like the ones I have for the new spoiler? I'd hate for it to be the only part of the car that's not striped, lol. I had mine done custom when I lived in Texas.
