Putting Gloss Overlays on a Matte finish Wrap...Suggestions??

[Tek Wrap]

We are wrapping a side x side with a wrap that has a matte overlaminate. the customer wants some stripe overlays in a gloss finish. In the past I have had issues getting wrap to stick to 3M matte overlam. Anyone know a good combo for this, or done this successfully?

Don't know the answer to your question, but your pics look fantastic.

Really? Dirt doesn't seem to have a problem sticking to it, at least more so than gloss. Post heat and edge sealer doesn't do the trick?

wiping with alcohol and pos-heating helps....but will pull away over time

Can you find a suitable color using regular die-cutting vinyl ?? That should stick without a problem.

Are you using 8520? We overlay on it a lot without issues... If its flat, or semi curved you'll be ok. If you're going into a big recess... it doesnt hurt to primer it.

Heck... if you know where the strip is going, you can use Masking / knifeless tape and then primer everywhere the stripe will be, go overtop of it... remove the masking / use knifeless if thats how you're doing the stripe, and it'll pull both vinyls off before the gloss would lift.

Double checked my info.....we used an avery, matte, cast lam previously. So maybe the 3M 8520 will work better with overlays. We will give it a try! Thank you!
