[OldPaint]

IAM NOT AN AVERY LOVER...BUT GOTA GIVE A SHOUT OUT on this product of theirs...... i did 2 vans like this back in 2000-2001 with AVERY A8, SPECTRA RED. the big diff in this red then others was its red on one side..and SILVER on the back. one of the few made this way. i did another truck in the same vinyl maybe 2 years ago...or less.....put the newer one next to the 2000-2001 van.....NO FADE!!!! the old one still looks like the new vinyl install. if you want a long lasting RED i can attest to this being it...12-14 years...its gona outlast the truck))))(note this pic is less then a year old)

Avery was descent back then. Obviously you missed the part about your title being the abomination. Not that you used Avery 12 years ago...

Pretty sure Good Avery is an oxymoron, like jumbo shrimp, military intelligence, etc.

Avery left a bad taste in my mouth many years ago with some crap vinyl. I've never fully trusted it, but they are the only vinyl manufacturer that has my EcoMouse Green (PMS 375) I've wrapped many machines in my shop with it, and so far it's holding up. But I've got back-up of custom PMS 375 spray paint made just in case, and for those hard to wrap items. The color match is identical.

And I've always loved Avery's metallic line. Never had any issues with their metallics. I'm thinking those have been made by a different division than the one that had a huge batch of failures. Then the way management handled the public outcry of those failures... well, that was just sad.

OldPaint, your title should have had question marks at the end instead of exclamation points. Allow the reader to decide, rather than make a statement of fact. heh, heh... (I actually have some of their red vinyl with silver on the backside... I think it really helps make it "POP" on certain surfaces. I just would like to be able to reverse mount it sometimes. It's a nice Red-Red)

I only lost 2 clients from the Avery disaster. Both were early on in the relationship and both were fleets. I was very embarrassed, and peeved that I lost those contracts. At the time I didn't know it was an Avery issue, and kept beating myself up for maybe incorrect installation methods, maybe I shoulda clay-bar'd the cars first, must have been extra wax on the cars, maybe it was the.... and on and on. That's when I learned about this forum. Started reading on here for years before I finally made my first post.
