Calendered or Cast?

[tonywhittier]

If you were applying numbers on race car (weekly racer) would you use calendered vinyl or cast vinyl?

once a week replacing them? Calendered.

Calendered removable adhesive if you are printing, but calendered for cost if you are cutting colors.

once a week replacing them? Calendered.

So I'm assuming cast?

For less than a year and really probably a couple races only, I'd go calendared. Racers want cheap as well, they always try to get something for nothing. Do the work for free and you can have a spot on the quarter panel for your decal, is a favorite offer they have. Although we have one we deal with that pays well, we fix him up good with quality product. Always scared to put a name on a panel as it always gets you more do it for free requests. They jump at you like starving rats.

make sense please

ok let me break it down for you

No I wont be replacing them each week

So I'm assuming your answer would be to use cast vinyl not calendered.

make sense now?

You said weekly racer, which made it sound like you were replacing them weekly. If not, then yes use cast.

but not everyone likes to use quality materials like us, i'm sure calendered will hold up

 

[CentralSigns]

Sounds like you already knew your answer. Sorry we didn't agree. The racers we deal with take extra sets of decals with them for replacement on scuffed panels they get every couple races.

Calander, most guys bodys dont last more than a month and they all smahsed up, they bang them out and the **** is allready junk. I'm around these guys from march till oct at the track, trust me lol..i got a huge pile of sheet metal out back off the cars.

I've never used cast vinyl on race cars unless I'm out of stock on calandered.
I don't know any type of racing that people's cars or graphic designs outlast the vinyl.

Most calendered is 2mils thicker than cast so cal is 2x the weight of cast per square inch.
I'd up-sell them on the lighter - faster - High Performance vinyl.....
