    Hi all
    need a bit of advise please
    Been asked to do some graphics on a few 4×4 vehicles,the guy wants silver graphics.Any one recomend a good vinyl and supplier please.
    Never used silver before. Using ritrama at the mo. Dont think the trucks will last long as they are used off road on my local shoot, and are driven by the young underkeepers.

    I would get a few samples , if you don’t have any, there are so many different silvers out there Mdp do a different range , everything from gun metal to mirror, samples would be good to show client, and also for you to test various cutting techniques, weeding, application etc

    Take it you have spoken to the customer about the chances of them lasting Stuart, not just the rough treatment but the power washing that going to cause problems. A mask & paint them on might be a better option.

    Speak to Allprint – my jumbo swatch must have 20+ metallic silvers.
