city link vinyl ?
Hi Guys,
I have been asked to do a city link sprinter for an owner driver,
although the fleet owned vehicles are painted green, this is to be part wrapped.The colour spec provided is a paint reference …. sooo…..
not trying to be to lazy about it….. anybody done these before and what is the prefered material and shade to match the fleet????? -

They use Ritrama. It’s the only material that offers the correct green. But beware it’s crap so offering a guarantee wouldn’t be wise.

Take it from me, a lot have been done (especially the old livery) in Metamark and some in Avery

quote Karl Williams:They use Ritrama. It’s the only material that offers the correct green. But beware it’s crap so offering a guarantee wouldn’t be wise.Beg to differ on Ritrama being crap.
They have three grades…a 3-5yr crap one, a 5-7 polymeric and a cast.
I use the 5-7 day in and day out & find it one of the better mid-priced polymeric vinyls…certainly for what I pay for it 🙂 Sure – it ain’t no 751c or 9800 – but it does me proud for most of my daily applications. I’ve had NO comebacks…ever.
But do agree it is not suitable for a proper wrap.

Dave, the one they stipulate is the correct colour. I have repaired a few because it won’t perform. They know this but state this is the one that must be used. I don’t do the signs for them I just visit a local bodyshop that carries out repairs on damaged vehicles.
