    Hi guys

    I have been approached by a motorcycle race team to do some graphics
    on their bike etc.

    They have given my a small sample of the vinyl they want me to use

    It is about 3 maybe 4 times as thick as normal vinyl and comes on a
    brown waxed paper backing.

    any ideas ?

    Also where can I get metalic coloured vinyl, I need to match a paint colour
    as close as poss to colour coordinate a spare wheel cover.

    Cheers

    Hi Paul,

    You need to read this thread for your bike graphics http://www.uksignboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=5250

    I keep meaning to get in touch with the importer in Ireland but have noy had the time – so I’d be interested in any info if you do make contact !

    Re your metallic vinyl you can try Hexis or KPMF who both do a decentish range, but don’t hold your breath for an exact match 😉

    Cheers Nigel

    I will try and contact them in the comming week and i will post
    my findings on the boards

    As for colour maching the spare wheel cover, I might try and talk the
    customer into having a contrasting colour instead.

    Colour maching was my stupid idea in the first place and having looked
    at the vehicle again it’s got some fancy ‘Flip-Flop’ greenish-blueish
    paint that will be impossible to match.

    Any attempt to match it will be a feeble one. 😕

    Oh well, I talked my way into it, I’ll just have to talk myself out again. (chat.)

    Paul….
    I believe Avery has a shade-shifter vinyl.
    Can you get it over there?
    I’d go dig out my chart, but I just finished lettering a barn and I’m tired!
    Love…Jill
