Why do you say it has to be applied wet? Which brand are you referring to? I use a couple different clears and lay them dry nearly every time. Of course it's usually with a laminator.
There's a lot of videos on Youtube, everything from explanation of substrates to application of vinyl, and everything in between. Spend a few days searching and watching those.
You can mix brands all you want, I have found, with no issues. I would just be sure to use CAST lam with CAST vinyl and CAL lam with CAL vinyl. They will shrink at different rates.
We also print on vinyl, mount to HIPS, and laminate with thin polycarb laminate. I will probably begin printing on the non-curl supersmooth retractable banner material and laminate that with a thicker polycarbonate in the future. Eliminates a production step. We don't do these that often though.
If the cost of a substrate scares you and you don't sell the job for enough money to cover that cost, something is not right.
That picture looks like simple solid color cut vinyl to me. Just cut any old cast vinyl, use a heat gun/torch and felt squeegee.
