    hi guys

    ive just landed my first "big" job, 4 x astra vans. was wondering what would be the best make of vinyl to use? ive read somewhere that some vinyl can shrink over time and obviously look a mess, i dont want this to happen to me 😀 .

    another question, dont know whether this is in the right section, but i need a "frame" to finish of a large interior sign, im using euro points di bond equivalant, sky board. and the customer would like a frame to surround the sign and hide any fixings i use, and to give it i suppose a picture effect, if that makes sense.

    any solutions would be gratefully taken on board, thanks

    if you have an account already with europoint then oracal vinyl 651, 551 will do for vehicles but i personally would use 751c.

    a quick frame solution would be a panatrim type frame. if you call andy at alutrade he can arrange the entire frame to be cut to size and pre-assembled if needed. http://www.alutrade.co.uk/
