Installing Decals On Grain Bins

[signguy35]

I have a customer that is wanting decals to be put on ribbed grain bins. The overall size will be about 6'x16". what is the trick to go in the ribs but also going around the curve of the bin. this will be done most likely with cast cut vinyl. Thanks.

Do. Each. Letter. Individually.

If it's one big decal, well I just don't know how one could do that. If you try it, please report back with pics. Thank you.

There's 3M 8624 which is a thick "stretchable" vinyl. That you can overlay into the gaps. It's used a lot on outside type surfaces. If it's one solid decal.

If that doesn't work I'd ask Fellers. That's where I get all my supplies from. Maybe they know of a better idea.

possible to put it on a piece of 0.40 aluminum and mount to the grainbin?

sadly no. The customer is building a bar and wants the old SIOUX logo on it. I am almost thinking now to paint the thing on. When he called and said grain bin my heart started to beat a little faster. im not looking forward to this. I will let you know how it goes.

if it is the logo I am thinking of and the standard style ribbed grain bin, then yes you will be better off for painting it

How about printing the logo and then applying to ribbed material and adding that to the grain bin. (same material)

well I got it done last week. Turned out awesome. used Matte black cut vinyl. the curve wasnt that bad and I cut each letter and installed individually. Customer loved it. I was too worried about nothing big.
