Supplier of Fantasy film or very similar

[John Dorling]

Not sure about that particular effect but mdpsupplies.co.uk do quite a few special films.

Thanks John I’ve just had a look there and they don’t do it, it is a chrome finish but when tilted in the light it gives a rainbow type of effect, customer will not settle for any other vinyl it has to be this effect (hot)

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Doesn’t Oracal have something like that?
(Can’t find my color chart)
And I know for a fact that 3m/Gerber has a holographic chrome.
There is a patterned on and a smooth one.
Sorry I wasn’t more help!
Love….Jill
PS
It is a very limited 1 year outdoor life, I believe it is a mylar film.
A real PITA to remove.

Coburns do a pearlescent vinyl but not sure who supplies coburn films in the UK.

Is this for interior or exterior use Steve, be careful if it is for exterior because a lot of these films are display films for interior use.
I know coburns do an exterior version with a 2 year lifespan but can’t remember what it’s called sorry.

[Steve McAdie]

Hi Martin, It is for exterior use, actually it is going on the side of a car the dorotape one and the hexis one are both external 5yrs but I know what you mean about a lot of them being internal/short term.

get it in writing that is 5 year outdoor durable, I used some quite a few years ago, and was told it was 5 year, lasted little more than a year. Maybe they have inproved it since though?

Is it someting like this?

according to the sign trade supplies catalogue, coburn rainbow chrome is a 4-5yr material. 99.9% sure on that.

phone them and ask, they’re in maidstone.

Yes Hugh, that’s what I was told, but did not last, and when it failed I did not have any come back, so if the product is durable, they will have no problem verifying it in writing

The coburn exterior stuff I used was pretty good, had both the display and exterior films. The display film was much brighter and reflected a lot more colour but unfortunately it didn’t last outside.

Good point about getting something in writing Peter, had problems with some forest green foamex once and wished I had something to go back to the supplier with latter.

[Steve McAdie]

Thats the stuff Peter, looks the same anyways. It won’t have to last the 5yrs I’m sure as he will probably change it again in a couple of years. Surely it is in writing already as it says on the website 5yr exterior life & they actually use Peters picture to advertise it.
