    Hi all
    Can anyone point me in the direct of a sparkly frosted vinyl apart from the 3M. I am waiting a sample from Hexis & Grafityp but am I missing any others.

    Cheers

    Mactac have some nice window etch (amari & pyramid sell it) always found thr mactac adhesive to be a bit wet and shows any blemish, but they do dissapear.

    Oracal – Europoint will sell those, again they have a dusted effect and IIRC some special effect onesn pink/blue/gold

    Metamark – from Metamark, our go too vinyl, comes with easy apply, or not, although it hasn’t as much sparkle as the others, but it is reflected in the price.

    Cheers Dave. I think I may have it sorted.

    Normally use Metamark as our go to as well but apart from the 3m one they have no sparkly ones.

    M7-SE (Silver Etch) & M7-CR (Crystal Etch) but I would say it’s more dusted than sparkly.

    Oracal 8810 – 090 has a silver glitter in it, and comes in a few colours (Gold/Pink/Green/Blue)

    Mactacs 798-01 is much like Metamarks.

    Hi Gary,

    Agree with David, oracal 8810 is very similar to the 3M crystal range.

    Not sure on comparison but yes Oracal does one.

    I am not a fan of metallic type finish etch films, i prefer completely flat matt look as i find it the most realistic to the real thing. I think when sparkles etc are added it all looks very "glass decor" and unrealistic. granted if thats the look your after then all good, i’ll shut up. :blushing: 😆
