  • regular vinyl or vehicle wrap??

    Posted by Soyeb Ravat on June 11, 2009 at 1:56 pm

    what would be better to use on a Citroen nemo??

    i would like to do the side panels which are no bigger then a meter squared of basic signs and directly applied and the back. The back again just covers the doors.

    Is it a: better to use : vehicle wrap vinyl

    or b: your regular 3-4 year vinyl

    thanks!!!

    not exactly sure what you mean by basic signs etc but if there is panel work and the like then don’t use a 3-4 year vinyl. use a cast 8 year+ or direct to a wrap. if its a solid colour wrap try KPMF or MacTac.

    Not sure if I understand the question fully either sorry 😳

    Is it just a flat panel you are looking to apply vinyl to or is it a curved surface or recessed ??

    If its flat panel work then a calendered vinyl will be OK but if it needs to conform to a particular shape or there are recesses then you will need either a cast vinyl or a vehicle wrap vinyl.

    Not 3-4 year vinyl on a van. Ever.

    5-7 minimum, even on flat panels.
