Google shows a couple firms claiming to have OEM colors, but after contacting directly, they do not have Area 51

anyone matched up a sample with an actual panel ?

From my experience Area 51 shifts too much to be matched by a vinyl. I found a seller who I thought had a good match for some emblem overlays, but it didn't turn out.

I ordered based on the sample from their eBay listing, which looked promising.

The actual result was not as desired. I didn't even put them on, but that seller now has the following pictures on their listing showing the mismatch.

It's rather strange because away from the truck, I swore it was a good match, then next to the truck, not so close in most lighting. The seller was great though and offered me a pick of a different color overlays for free. They said this was the most difficult color to match and it was the best they could find. They've also had the most complaints about this one it seems, which is why they updated the listing and showed specific pictures of our beloved Area 51.

May I ask what you're intending on wrapping?

cool, thanks Dave.
I'm hoping to wrap all the black plastic on the bumpers, sideskirts, and that fender vent thing.
Paint match would be easiest, but I dislike painting plastics.

bumping this thread to see if anyone has found a vinyl wrap in area 51
I think you're going to have a very tough time finding a color match vinyl for A51, way too much color shifting. On top of that I don't think OP was going to successfully wrap those plastics, they are very slightly textured, not smooth. I think the only option is paint which is $$$

Not that I know of. Tough color to match.
