  • Flourescent or Luminous vinyl

    Posted by Andy Perry on July 28, 2010 at 7:59 pm

    Hi guys,

    Has anyone got a contact for good luminous red and yellow vinyl for vehicle graphics. I have 11 LWB vans to do and don’t know which is best, it is not the reflective grade just really bright. Metamark do some, but they are 6 month exterior, ideally I would like it to be 3-5 year or above. I haven’t spoken to Robert Horne or Grafityp yet (calling in the morning), but any help would be great if you have used some previously. Any great deals would be good too.

    William Smith does some, but looks pretty expensive to me?

    hexis and oracle are a similar price for their 2-3 florescent cast
    I dont know of a supplier that does a longer term fluorescent but for chapter 8 specs its the best available for the time being

    Think hexis and smiths do a 3yr fluorescent yellow. If it’s for chapter 8 then the red must be the proper reflective, bright red won’t cut it,

    Best off buying the kits, smiths seem pretty accurate when I used them and it saved me loads of effort.

    Cheers Hugh, I will give the customer some options, depending on price, I am unsure if he wants it proper reflective or just bright colours as it is for plant maintenance and not legal guidelines.

    Hi mate,
    If he stops deliberately on highways then he’ll need chapter8, this includes waiting on roads to enter sites etc

    At the very least you could use a red engineering reflective, cheaper then the flouro but, customer must be told that’s it’s not up to specs which are soon – if not already- legal requirements.
