muddywaterpirate 1 Posted May 7, 2009 I've seen a lot of talk about different name brands or types of vinyl. What is everyone's opinion on what the best vinyl is, and why? Is there a certain vinyl that is better for some things over others? Most of what I want to use it for outdoor, vehicle vinyl for windows, fiberglass boats, and car metal.

OutlawCustom 0 Posted May 11, 2009 Well, the noob here will be quick to chime in about how much he's liking Oracal 651. Before I placed my first order I did a LOT of lurking and 651 showed up more than any other brand/type. I figured I'd "roll with the flow" since so many people seemed so happy with it. Thus far I have to say, I'm happy with it, too! I've done a bunch of (car) window decals, logo/labeled the transport crates for my production company and have banged out a few other odd projects with no issues at all. With my heat press on the way I'm planning on checking out thermal-transfer vinyls next (being especially interested in UV-reactive for a dance/Rave we're producing in June). Good luck with your projects! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spyder Graphix 0 Posted May 11, 2009 ABout 90% of the vinyl we use is Shinerite from Fellers. Its super shiny weeds and cuts just like Oracal 651. Never had a probelm in 4 years with it. We also use 651 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
