Guest Terry Posted February 19, 2008 Not sure on the quality but this person sells a lot of different types. It is more difficult to cut contours. Scroll down you will see oil slick like tye dye. You can also buy glow in the dark vinyl, it collects lite. Looks white in day time. http://stores.ebay.com/Paper-Street-Plastics_Holographics_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ1470364QQftidZ2QQtZkm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Z 0 Posted March 10, 2009 GoGetEm, Did you buy any of this gradient vinyl? I have a guy who is asking for lettering for a boat. He wants (oddly enough) black to red as Fivestar had wrote as an example. I am looking to buy enough to do 2 text decals 6" letters by about 40" long. Anybody who might have this and is willing to sell enough to do that small of a job please let me know. I can buy a full roll from Signwarehouse for about $29, but Am not sure I can convince the customer to pay for the lettering AND a 15" x 10' roll. Thanks.

john! 1 Posted March 11, 2009 i know on the sign warehouse fade vinyl you do need to spray a clear protection onto the finished product. Another shop i'm friends with told me that it's a pain in the neck. If you don't spray anything over it to protect it, it will fade really fast they said.
