Default Mint Green Vinyl Wrap?

I have a family member who loves mint green 964 except factory mint green are close to impossible to find without some luck, especially a driver condition not a garage queen.
So I was wondering, how much are vinyl wraps on a 964 anyway. I've heard prices from $600- 3000! Has anyone done mint green specifically? I saw one of you DIY'd a very nice blue. All she wanted is the color mint green, doesn't even matter if its tiptronic. Wouldn't make sense to wait perhaps forever for a high mileage mint green, when I could pick up a <$20k 964 tip and wrap it with way less money than it would cost to get a real mint green ( and most people of the general public can't even tell anyway)
Anyone got a more accurate cost of such a project?

you may have to pay for the full roll of wrap which can be pricey.

A quailty wrap in my parts is $3000.00

A good wrap is upwards of 3k or more. You could attempt to do it your self or dip it for a lot less.

Dip your car has added a whole bunch of new colors to it's line. This Intense Teal color is close to mint...
The paint effect is flat, but the product is continually evolving - they have just added pearls and micro flakes to their line to get more sheen.

hmmm that intense teal is quite close but it's a little too much toward blue instead of green i think .. ( not that i've actually seen a real mint green in person yet xD ) . OEM mint green was not matte though, so if i were to do this dip thing, I would have to get the "glossifier" too...

otherwise, 3k doesn't sound too bad. so the real problem would then be getting a glossy color closest to the real mint green
