Awesome discovery and tip for you

I needed a specific colored metallic blue vinyl, but not much, and didn't want to buy a roll. So I printed solid blue on Oracal 8510 Silver Etch vinyl, laminated with Gloss lam, and BAM!! It is beautiful. I will do this from now on for any colored metallic looking vinyl.
Try it! You'll like it!

Sounds like a good idea to me. I'd really like to see how it looks.

We do it all the time on our Latex. Try Printing on the 1080 Pearl White from 3M and laminating with MacTac Silver Flake its an awesome effect!
