all systems 0 Posted February 16, 2011 Wondering what is the best way to make these. Seems like a simple two layer (black and yellow) but the silver edges I'm not sure. These would see heavy outdoor useage. Maybe printing would be best? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bayshorecreations 30 Posted February 17, 2011 I have never tried but I can't imagine printing yellow on chrome would look so great. However... R tape makes chrome that is printable. http://www.rtape.com/vinylefx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeremySI 18 Posted February 18, 2011 solvent printing on chrome will give you metallic colors. those look like yellow and black printed decals on top of chrome rectangles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stetson5331 80 Posted February 18, 2011 Whoops, typo, IS NOT solvent and eco solvent accectable Your right on the Oracal 631 Chrome..It has a clear on it..I had a sample a sales gal gave me I printed on. and it looked great... but for the life of me can't remember where I got it from..I tried the Oracal 631 as a sample print and its like jeremySI says it gives you a metal color..and overall doesn't look right... I will go out on the hanging tree and say SOOOO I assumed(we all know what assume means...NOW I am the me part..LOL) Oracal was like that and it's not.. So what I can do is print on clear, then put it on the Oracal and now we have what looks like printed chrome... Sorry for the false info guys Until I find that sample company again...I sold a decal I printed on the sample and didn't think anything about it.. Will keep you informed if I find it... stetson5331 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
