  need a supplier of exterior quality red chrome effect vinyl

  Posted by Kevin.Ryan on 31 May 2005 at 09:27

  Good Morning All
  does anyone know of a supplier of exterior quality red chrome effect vinyl that will last a minimum of 2 years?
  Hexis do a vinyl but it is only indoor short term quality.

  any help would be much appreciated

  Kevin, R-Tape do a red chrome, but it has a fish eye lens effect. I don’t like it, and I think even the importers here have discontinued bringing it in, but it is a red chrome none-the-less. Not sure who imports it into the UK tho.

  Cheers
  Shane

  hi i had requirement for something like that one, what i did was brought hexis ch8000 cast polyester film which is 5 year outdoor overlamanated it with hexis’s c4000 transparent film in red and then put it through the cutter at a slow speed with quite a bit of pressure on the blade, work ok for me, bit long winded if you have a lot to do, i only had about 3m of text

  hope this is of help, as this is my first real posting 😀

  Application Tape Co. do the R-Tape range on 01706633043

  reading the literature though I don’t think the ‘Cheery Red’ is available in their ‘Durable’ grade for exterior use – only the silvers and golds have this option

  thanks guys for your input

  i have explained to the customer that it specified for indoor use only with a max 2 year life, but they stil want it on their coaches!

  looks like a regular replacement job

  as they say the quote we gave them equalls 2 new tyres!!!

  they are happy to keep paying
  i love these rare customers

  regards
  Kevin
