    Does anyone know what brand/part number vinyl matches the BBP? I want to get a decal cut for my third window and I'm having a hard time finding something.

    I think I got it narrowed down to 3m 1080-g227. Does anyone have experience with this color?

    Maybe you can have @rrentrop make you your decal? He may have something very close to the BBP

    Oracal 951 Metallic Blue looks very close. I have sent a set of this color to another member for verification and should know by this weekend.

    Oracal 951 metallic blue is a very close match. The members that have purchased it state that in sunlight it is 5/5, while in shadow it is 3/5 (5 being a perfect match). This is due to the different reflective properties of paint vs vinyl. I think this is about as close as you can get to the BPP, BUT this is not appropriate wrap vinyl. This is premium cast vinyl, which is great for decals and conforming to small contours, but I don't think it can be applied very easily to larger areas, including bumpers.

    Oracal 970RA is an appropriate wrap vinyl and is available in Azure Blue Metallic, which is probably very close to the BBP. However, it is very expensive (retailing at $320 for a 60" x 10' roll). At that price you are probably better off just getting the bumper pieces painted.

    Thanks rrentrop. I actually was just out removing some badges and started fiddling with the rear bumper. I didn't realize the chrome pieces are just plastic covers. Ill probably just remove them, sand and paint black. Guess I could contact my Toyota dealer and see what they would run color matched, however I have a feeling it will be $$$$$$$.
