can i use reflective on rear doors ????

[Phil Halling]

As I understand it, it will depend on what colours are involved

[Richard Urquhart]

red,yellow and blue

[Phil Halling]

Yellow & Blue are ok but red should be a no no. Is the red a major part of the logo ?

[Richard Urquhart]

yes mate i can drop it though will just tell customer
thanks for that mate

I’ve seen red used on a lot of fleet wagons, as I understood it only colour that was a no no on rear doors was white. Could be wrong though.

[Andy Gorman]

Red is OK, otherwise you wouldn’t see it on Police cars and ambulances.

[Phil Halling]

My mistake, red is ok it is white that isn’t

[Richard Urquhart]

oh told customer he cant use it he was ok but what if he ask some one after i told him its a no no

can i use rapid tac 2 on this lg reflective i have seen post saying no but never got to the bottom of it

[Jill Marie Welsh]

I wonder what the rules for refective are over here.
You see everything everywhere.
I have black reflective on the sides of my truck that glows white.
Love…..Jill

Rich, apparently it is not recommended to apply wet, but I have done it before and it wasn’t a problem. The LG reflective is one of the easier ones to apply dry as it seems a bit more rigid to me.

Richard, the reason you don’t or shouldn’t use a wet application is that the reflective material has a polyurethane top coat that holds the glass beads, and does not breathe at all. If too much water is trapped, it will promote rust. I have seen examples of it here when newbies have done a door that has a poor painted finish. Rust appeared in about 4 to 6 months. Want to make sure you have a good liability insurance. 😮

Avery here are very strict with a wet application. Definately a no no.

That said, I have done a wet application in the past, but only ever do a very fine mist over the glue surface, just to reduce the tack. I think most reflective glues are water based too (I may be wrong here – not 100% sure – seem to remember something to that effect at the last avery seminar), so that also creates issues in the overall scheme of things.
