    Thanks, I've never used that stuff either. I wonder how good it works on wood... This is Oracal 651 and it left a super crisp line on the metal. No bleeding at all. I did have second (and third...) thoughts about scuffing this sign once I finished peeling off all the vinyl. It looked super good, but I was going for an aged look so I did it.

    You're getting advice from the volunteers on this forum who do, or have done, signage, banner, decals, etc. as a living. There is definitely a market for printing on vinyl and contour cutting, but to do so professionally is not cheap. For that reason, any color or print & contour jobs I get, get outsourced very quickly. I have a very reliable printer locally that can get my jobs done, and they're more than happy to get them done at wholesale prices, because they know that I pay the in cash, and they didn't have to prep the artwork or hustle for the job in the first place. I don't have the customer base that could sustain such a large expense for a large vinyl printer, so I just don't even try. If you're looking just to dabble in it as a hobby and are finding materials on eBay or other means, that clearly aren't meant to be for the professionals, then the only way to know how well it works (or doesn't) is to buy them yourself and give it a try. Then you can come back and contribute your experience and findings to this forum, so that others may gain some knowledge.
