    there are various brands of fluorescent/day-glow vinyl but there are 12 month life at most. i think many are 6 months but the more expensive are 12-18months max ide think.
    ide be amazed if you found a day-glow wrapping film. not only would it be expensive it would be short term life.
    the dynarod, Colin hutton group vehicles you probably have seen will be day-glow paint. i.e. spray’d that colour. even the spray paint fades/bleaches in the sun to a white…
    we did graphics on a day-glow orange Subaru impressa a few months ago. even thats showing signs of bleaching.
    fair do if someone wants to pay through the nose for a short term finish. other than that ide not even go there.

    ew as Rob says…fades in no time…I had to remove some faded florecent stickers from a dk grey van ….the glue on this particular stuff is white…ew awful enough with just a few letters, not to say a whole wrap!!!

    thanks folks

    I’m actually a window cleaner with a cheap creation CT600 and a version of sign blazer , i have done the vinyl on my own van and just thought a bright yellow would make a good IMPACT .

    I love playing around with signs but finding inspiration for my own van is quiet hard .

    thanks folks
