As the title says we have reflective lettering lifting (not sticking) on a police car for the second time. We are using oracal 5600, printing ,drying for 24 hours, laminating and installing. The first time this happened the car was fresh from the body shop having all the old lettering removed &...

Thanks again. Its all ready to install. Larry

Thanks for all the responses. Trust me on the splitting of the letters its the customer, not us. The last vehicles they had done was split and came off within 6 months, so they want it this way. Thanks to strypguy who tweaked it, now it will work. I too agree with the weak look to the font, but...

As always I am thinking of ways to make an installation job easier. I am wondering if a laser level (self-leveling would be the best) would work when applying lettering to a vehicle? We have 10 vehicles to do with the same lettering for the doors, front & rear fenders, crew cab doors, etc that...

Thanks for the information. I will give this a try later this morning. On the outlines, we are using this to create lettering and I always try and keep my lettering a couple of inches from door edges, inset panels edges ,etc so being close should work here. Thanks adain you'll Larry
