Would you even attempt fitting Vinyl to this?

Yes I would apply vinyl to these panels, i believe a number of companies are offering vinyl that can be applied to these kinds of surfaces. I know APA have a wall wrap material that would be perfect for the job. Word of warning it isn’t cheap.

Just one word of caution. Fundamentally it will only be as good as the adhesion of the paint/render that it is applied to and therefore you may want to put this in writing in your quote.

Vinyl signage NO I doubt that I would, you can now get vinyl that will adhere to surfaces such as that as has already been said but as far as I know it is really meant for digital printing & applying like wallpaper for a complete covering. It would be expensive to use for such an application.
Why is the customer against the use of a composite or acrylic panel?? It will be flat & show off any signage far better than if applied directly to the wall. I would imagine it will also be cheaper as well.

Get a signwriter to write it. Game over!

neil pay me my plane fair …give me a two week stop over in singapore …rent me ma old hoose in cussack parade wynuum brisbane and ill paint it on for nothing maty 😀 😀 😀

[Robert Lambie]

it really depends on how glossy that surface is. if its a nice smooth finish to the paint then a good cast vinyl will stick good. but must be applied correct.
ideally you are after a masonry/brick/wall vinyl.
i dont know if you can get brick vinyl for regular cut vinyl applications.

Avery, 3M, Mactac all do them. I know Oracal has brought one out too that is a bio material. it fragments once applied making it very difficult to remove unless with a pressure washer.

Your all heart Brian, you won’t get anywhere doing favours like that.

Thanks all for your feedback! , I think Ive finally convinced them to go with acrylic panels and I’ll be much happier with that. 🙂 the surface is Matt and trying to get all the air out from underneath I think would be a nightmare, especially for a beginner like me.

Not actually used it for real but played with both the 3M and Avery wall vinyl at the William Smith open days and it is made exactly for walls like this and is not hard at all to get rid of air. When warmed up the vinyl just sucks itself onto the wall and looked good. there have been some great examples posted on this site in the past of whole walls beeing done.

I am actually looking forward for a chance to try it.

Thanks Stuart, I will try and find some reference to it being used.
