Applying Graphics to Corrugated Galvanized Material

[Sinclair]

I just got an e-mail to apply graphics to corrugated sheet of galvanized metal. I've read up on applying the graphics to corrugated metal but now I'm questioning weather the vinyl will adhere well to the galvanized metal. Does anyone have some input on this? I think I plan on using 3M180C for the vinyl.

Thanks!

If it is new metal it will be fine. Not to hard after you have done it a couple of times.

If I remember correctly, you clean galvanized with vinegar before painting, so it might help in this situation as well.

We have vinegar on our shelf just for that....... and for when we get salads, along with a little oil....

the only corrugated I've applied to, has been with tek screws........after applying to a flat panel first.

Here is a job that I wish I could say I did. This is right down the road from me. The building has to be well over a football field long (400ft maybe).

Anytime corrugated buildings come to mind, I think of this.



sorry a little off track, but I couldn't resist sharing.

Vinegar, interesting! So what type of vinegar? ha

I'm sure if you're off track or just in a different game, but the OP is inquiring about vinyl graphics to a corrugated building. Your example is hand painted, which is easy to do... be it pictures or letters.

So, the price of butter in England is how much ??

Just Heinz distilled white vinegar. Nothing expensive. The cheapest stuff works just fine.

The OP is inquiring about vinyl graphics....not salads, either.

So the price of a salad in France, is the same as it would cost to KMA here.

I wish I could say I did that as well looks really good.

My apologies

I has come to my attention (via a PM), that some members may have misunderstood my post

It seems some may have skimmed the post (or only looked at the pictures), and assumed this was one of our jobs, simply because I posted the pictures.

Let me put in big Letters......WE DID NOT DO THIS JOB.
While we did not do the job, I still can admire the work of another shop (and thought you may also)

That post of yours..... that field is not anywhere close to 400', but even if it was, it has NOTHING to do with the OP's request. Then you let people go on thinking you did it. The f*ckin' thing was hand painted, not vinyl. You make fun of me, when your own jabs and pokes are from out of nowhere and have no meaning.

Again, the only correlation to the OP's post and the pictures I posted, is both are corrugated buildings.
Sinclair, my apologies for slightly sidetracking your post.

Me personally i would have to ask why they want printing on the corrugation instead of flat. I would 2 tier a price to them, one on flat panel and one applied to corrugate. When i got done with corrugate price im sure they would think twice

Back in the day when signs were painted, the standard rule of thumb was that corrugated was 2x the price of equivalent flat work.

No reason that vinyl should be any different.

Thanks everyone, even if we got a little side track, I think I got some good information.
