  • what vinyl can i use for wrapping van?

    I need to cover the side of my own van in plain white vinyl, There is hardly any curves, there is a few indentations etc. What vinyl would be best to use?

    Best in terms of ease of application? price? durability?

    What colour is your van at the moment? You don’t want the existing colour coming through the vinyl.

    I just need something that’s not going to give me headaches. The van is med. blue need to cover in white.

    I’d use something with a bubble free at least. Avery 900 isn’t bubble free and isn’t easy to use if you haven’t done this sort of thing before. But with 900 sometimes you can see the colour come through of the vehicle.

    Most wrap materials have a grey backed adhesive that’s is a block out so the vehicles colour doesn’t impact on the wrap.

    Nice one. If I decided to do the top half of the vehicle (which is white) On the curved panel parts, do I apply the vinyl flat over the top then heat into the curve(s)?
