    Anyone know where I can buy rolls of 3M Striping?

    Spandex will supply them, but, the colours required only come in a 1220 log and we would have to pay for the full log.

    Anyone have the ability to splice (is that whats it’s called) logs.

    I need a supplier that specialises in striping as opposed to buying a 610 roll and having the striping cut off it, anyone have a contact. It needs to be in rolls.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Lorraine.
    I buy roll striping from Auto Accessories Warehouse in Ohio.
    Dunno if they sell in the UK, but you never know.
    They sell 3M roll striping in many sizes, types, & colors.
    It comes in either 50 foot or 150 foot rolls for most striping.
    I always buy reflective striping from them for fire trucks
    rather than trying to run it thru my plotter. They have a nice catalog.
    They also sell ready-to-apply vehicle graphics.
    Everything is wholesale to the sign trade.
    Their toll-free # is 1-800-733-3316
    their email addy is
    sales@aawi.com
    web addy

    Maybe they have a UK affiliate? They also sell vinyl.
    Their shipping is very fast & they take credit cards/COD
    Love…JILL šŸ˜‰

    I guess they are hexis vinyl not 3M

    The striping our company uses is for boats so the vinyls need to be able to withstand the salt water.

    Could you reccommend a hexis vinyl for this use?
    Do you have a minimum order?
    Couls you match to 3M colours? the 100 series?

    I would still be interested in a new supplier for striping.

    This is for information only, not a sales pitch (I hope Robert will accept this), Hexis do supply various reflective films from number plate, economy, engineering, high intensity and micro-prismatic grades all of which compete with 3M products head to head.

    Hi Lorraine
    Hexis did reply to your question. I remember them mentioning something about with standing saltwater.
    Unfortunately some parts of this thread are venturing over the line.
    As you can see i have edited the end.
    I would suggest calling them and asking for Scott, Iā€™m sure he will be more than helpful. šŸ™„

    Well here are the answers to my questions that were not allowed to come direct from the horses mouth:

    quote :

    Yes, the hexis vinyls can they are manufactured with a solvent adhesive in France and are tested in the Mediterranean waters.

    quote :

    KG9000 Is a 10 year cast equivalent to 3M 100 series

    quote :

    Do you have a minimum order?

    There is no minimum order charge. Carriage is free for orders over Ā£100 and Ā£8 for orders less than Ā£100

    quote :

    Could you match to 3M colours? the 100 series?

    The KG9000 has a wide variety of colours and you should be able to match up any colours required.

    Many thanks to Scott for being informative about Hexis products and allowing me to be able to make an informed impartial choice about the options available to me
