I know the guys at Trinity Graphics do work directly with KTM. http://trinitygfx.com

But I'm sure at this point most major graphics guys will be pretty close. N-Style, Decal Works, ect

I always pictured you as a tribal/barbed-wire kinda guy... maybe some airbrushed flames in there to spice it up a bit?

N-Style does the Troy Lee KTM team graphics and did the Factory team up until '15. They have what you need

I love how this turns into a contest to win someone's graphic business.

To be perfectly honest 95% of the graphic guys cant get the color correct. Other than with a thermal printer all the small graphic guys with just a inkjet printer will not get close to the 2016 color. Its just not happening. The N-style pro stuff is very good but their customer custom stuff is just inkjet printed with a not very close orange(danny will be able to tell you this). I am not sure how Decal Works makes theirs as they do look very good but I have found unless you thermally print them your not getting close at all.

DeCal Works is 1 of only 4 authorized KTM licensed graphics suppliers, The other 3 being FX, N-Style and D'Cor. No other decal company can legally print the KTM logo.

I've have a local kid Aggressive Graphix here in Ma trying and I feel he's got it as close as we're going to get it. I have a complete set of orange plastic that I'm going to put on my FE and he's doing the graphics right now. He came over here with 8 small samples that he made we picked the one that we both felt was super close to the new brighter orange. I'll post a pic when I get the stuff on later next wk.

Exactly what PD441 said. Ride PG was able to do it as well but now that they are belly up that is one less. If you want the best Orange color and want the KTM logo on them call Decal Works.Their 2016 orange is a great color. I have not used them in years since I make my own but they do have a great product. I respect the fact that KTM wants people to license their logo so I cannot use their logo.

I don't do graphics for sale but do them for myself since I have the equipment.

We printed about 8 different orange options to find the closest match on our Roland equipment
It depends a lot on the actual printer they use...each company has to figure out which pantone color will actually print the best on their equipment to match the orange.
Also...different plastic suppliers oranges are could be different... I assume though you want to match the factory KTM orange. I know I once I ordered a white set of plastics and the white did not match my other white from a different company.

This might all be useless info....just my thoughts....it's not easy to match colors...lots of trial and error.

Whatever you do....just be very explicit with the graphics company that the orange "match" is very important to you.
They most likely will go with "eye pleasing" which can be very subjective. Don't expect perfection.

N style did a custom retro set for me, they tried but could not get the right orange. Now I have their TroyLee team kit and it is the perfect color.
