    Tony,

    There are quite a few “removable” films on the market. I would suggest the mactac 8900 range for a good start but there are others as I say. The mactac is available in a good range of colours and matt or gloss too.

    hope that helps !

    hi tony
    the best stuff i know of is spray mask. the problem is it only comes in a handful of colours and even some of those are minging 😆
    if its white, your laughing. but it is matt white. i think you can get black, white, cream, grey & a sorta transparent gray/green. its very easy to apply because it is thick & has a very low tack, but still has a good bite.

    other than that you could go for low grade or short life vinyl. my opinion of those is that they probably leave more glue or become pretty brittle quick. if its interior stuff then you should be ok.
    if its for an exhibition i think under spotlights etc its advisable to avoid quality vinyls as they will be stuck like sugar.. ahem 😉

    try calling some of the major suppliers and ask do they do a removable. if not ask do they do a spray mask. i buy white from amari because i perfer their mask to most. its cheap as hell also 😉

    Thanks for that,

    Might find someone local to Rochester Kent to apply the first set of vinyl.
