hani1400 0 Posted December 1, 2008 Hi I advertised myself and the first job i got is kinda big. It's for a jewelry store inside a mall. He wants a sign that's 6 by 1 foot, black background. What kind of substrate should i use for this? Coraplast or is there a better option for this situation? Here is a pic of the type of vinyl he wants, the one on the left, it's like a mirror finish, i want gold and silver. Can someone give me a link to this kind of vinyl, because i found lots of pictures of vinyl products that are called metallic but don't have this sort of mirror finish look.

Jay2703 704 Posted December 1, 2008 Sounds like Chrome vinyl. Try this: http://www.signwarehouse.com/c-VH-CF-PPP2410.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hani1400 0 Posted December 1, 2008 Thanx jay What about the kind of substrate should i use for this? I think it will look better with a hard glossy surface, rather than coraplast; can you give me the name or where to get it? do they even ship it @ this size?

snlsd 1 Posted December 3, 2008 I read somewhere that the chrome vinyls only have a 2 yr outdoor life. Anybody know where to get chrome that will last longer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dustinjtrr 0 Posted December 6, 2008 Do you have time frame you are working with? What kind of price did you give him? I would personally just use a black acrylic sheet, it would be more expensive, but look a tom better and last longer. Where do you live? Most relatively large cities have some sort of place that would sell it locally. Then you could just use a high gloss white overtop. You might want to check if there is a fellers warehouse nearby that you could pick up vinyl at if you are in a time crunch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
