Applying vinyl to ribbed metal

[KH t's n Signs]

Hey everyone! I am looking for some help on applying vinyl to ribbed metal siding. Local school is wanting their new press box fully wrapped or just decaled. I was thinking of using cast vehicle wrap but honestly wasn't sure how it would perform with the ribs. Anyone ever done this or have any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

For a color change I'd paint it then apply their logo/mascot/slogan. Paint will last longer and be easier to apply. It will take you longer to wash/mask than to spray it with an airless rig. But that's just me...

Lettering it you will need to account for the "peaks and valleys". Masking tape works great for figuring out the total width.

When applying graphics (cut or printed) you must account for the total length of the horizontal surface area, not just the length of the wall. I've attached a drawing of a common siding to help, yours appears to be different. Calculate the metal covered per one horizontal rib by running your measuring device across the surface, then count the ribs and multiply..

Sorry rjsigns, I didn't read your whole post. Your are correct, masking tape does work rather well.
