    Does anyone know who supplies Prismatic vinyl (creates a sparkly rainbow effect in sunlight) . I’m sure APA do one, but I thought Europoint had recently introduced one also. I phoned today but know one seems to know the vinyl I am talking about.

    I also need to know if it is outdoor durable.

    Phill, hexis used to do a couple of prismatic vinyls at least but I think it was just for indoor use, worth a phone though as George has said, and I am almost certain that the company who do all the specialist vinyls like holographic did something as well but I can’t remember their name.

    Phill,

    creative films do one, dunno if it’s outdoor durable though but they might be worth a call. Metamark also have one but again I don’t know if it’s suitable for outdoor use.

    coburn do a ‘rainbow silver’ (might be called rainbow chrome), nice thin material, doesn’t need extra force to cut like chrome does, it’s a 5 year life too,

    a pic of it in action here,

    works best in bright sunlight, as you walk around it it changes thru blues, greens, reds, purples etc. cool stuff !
