what is the best vinyl to use for number plates?

[Robert Lambie]

i reckon any black vinyl will do the job mate.
the adhesive shouldnt coz bubbles? 😕
shiney points? beats me mate.. you cac make lines appear were you have run your squeegee while applying but this is normal and seems to go away..

I just use Oracal 651 black, but I believe the matt stuff is easier to lay, haven’t tried it yet though 😕

I’ve noticed lots of little marks, lines and things like that when I make up a plate, but to be honest, no one ever looks that closely at them and they’re always happy. I think it’s a bit like when you use a pin to pop a bubble on your vinyl and you can see the diddy pin hole, bugs the life out of me, but doubt anyone else even notices 🙄

Cheers, Dewi

thanks for all of your replies and i think your right i am being too critical. i tried Hexis matt black vinyl today and that was no better or worse than the techmark 3000 stuff.

thanks Dazlad 😳
