Color Matched Vinyls and Other designs for your VW Badge

deAutoKey said:

Thank you, good catch, we stopped trying to create color matched vinyls because we noticed that once we did get a match the sun would fade it a tiny bit and the color match would be ruined, our vinyls are sprayed with UV coating and will last forever, but when it comes to the color matching, you can notice the slight fading right away and the color match will be off... We have heard the same issue with competitor products from customers asking if the same thing would happen, the answer is yes, we assume that our competitor did not take in account the sun fading vinyl rear badges to different colors!

But spiker369 - we are working on spray painting vinyls with actual VW paint, seeing if that holds up, what color is your car, we can send you a sample. united gray?

Mine is carbon steel grey metallic, the darker grey. I've been running the plaid inserts since you guys sent me that a while back and I haven't noticed much/any fading on it, but that might just be because it's not trying to match the color of the car.

Fading should not happen at all with UV coating, so colors will stay, but if you are looking at the color match option, you will notice it right away once the color fades, so it is near impossible to get a perfect color match to last, spray painting vinyl is the next option but a bit difficult.

Thanks for the feedback

I like the sticker bomb look. You could also look into making a mirror wrap that would match the rear badge. Or steering wheel inserts to match so all 3 go together like klii makes. I'm pretty sure quite a few people would buy the combo if they all matched. I can't count how many mk6's I've seen with the rear badge and mirror wrap matching.

We already have a stickerbomb steering wheel, rear badge and seat insert. All do very well in selling as a group, we had many customers who purchased our decals after having klii's installed and they reported back on their quality vs ours. All said our vinyls were thicker and a lot easier to install, and colors were a lot more crisp.
