Vinyl wrap that matches WR Blue

Does anyone know of a brand of Vinyl wrap that has something really close to the new WR Blue? I'm doing a front bumper swap soon but i also dont want to pay the $500+ . Most shops in my area are charging for painting.

For what model year? I found some a while back, but it was for 2013 - whatever year they changed the WRB to something else.

You will never match it close enough for it not to stand out like a beacon. Even paint has to be precisely mixed to match. Pay the price and do it right.

I’d like to know too. I’ve only seen this on the older WRB color code and only in small pieces for a WRX trunk part. Haven’t found any that match the newer 07x color code.

Wrap the whole car in a different color instead

That will fix it

Yeah this was going to be my second option. If i couldnt find one to match i'd just do a full wrap.

How is a full wrap cheaper than just having a shop paint the bumper? Just do it the right way the first time.

This will cost the same or more than paint matching the bumper.
