    Hi all. Anyone know where I can get the vinyl that changes colour when looked at from different directions. The one I am looking for changes from dark blue to pink then light blue. I have searched the web with no luck as I am not sure what it is called. Cheers Wilbert

    would it be a pearlescent vinyl overlay or prismatic foil mate?

    Wilbert, just use normal vinyl, but give the client some LSD tabs before he sees it!

    seriously though, coburn do the stuff you are looking for.
    but I dont think it is outdoor durable

    Thanks everybody. Looks like the first gallery picture on the site Terry gave me. WEAVER BROTHERS on the warrior. But I cant see it among their vinyls. I’ll give them a ring tomorrow. Cheers Wilbert

    Hi, we did a job on some panels about 1 year ago and my supplier has some 3m colour change that has been chopped of a roll, i can ask him what width it is but i am pretty sure 3m do not make it anymore as they had to many probs with consistency.
