Which Vinyl for Frost Effect ?
Hi all
I got the go ahead to do the Ridgway Engineering Job (posted previously), this intails the whole rear window of a Toyota Hiace van being covered in frosted glass effect vinyl with the comapny logo cut out. Looking on the Oracal site (as of yet i have only used oracal vinyl) i have come accross this product
ORACAL 8510 Etch Glass Film, which in it’s product listing quotes it as havng these qualaties
“Areas of Use
Whenever it has to achieve a hoar-frost effect or an impression of etched, cut or sandblasted glass; especially for decorative designing of shop windows and glass doors.”which sounds ideal to me, but having never used this material before or used any frosted glass/etched glass vinyl before i would like your opinions on the best product to buy in.
The rear window of the van has a curve in it and as the vinyl has to go all the way to the rubber seal it will have to be trimmed in. so it also has to be able to wrap around that (about 1/2″rubber trim) until i cut it. I believe reading somewhere else that the Oracal 8510 is a foil vinyl not calendered or cast.
All advise is very welcome.
Thanks
Paul
