    Hello and welcome. I can buy colored magnetic material over here in the States, surely someone over there sells it too. It’s slightly higher in price but still easier/cheaper than coating out regular mag with vinyl.
    Love….jill

    Another one from Bristol! You’ll definitely learn a lot from this site, some really good sign makers (& suppliers) willing to share their knowledge & experience, so if you’re knew to the Sign Game and have a problem, one of these guys I’m sure will know the answer. H.
