Vinyl on Powder coated steel

[datablitz]

Is there a period of time that needs to be waited to apply vinyl to a sheet of powder coated steel? I have a customer that had a sheet of steel powder coated, and asked me to apply vinyl to it. I just want to make sure if it needs to breathe before I apply vinyl to it. This will be an outdoor sign.

Thanks

I don't see an issue. Powder coat is a baked on at roughly 400 degrees F. Once out of the oven and cooled it becomes a hard shell.

Thanks, I just wanted to make sure.

I agree, powder coating doesn't dry like paint. Once it's done it's fully "cured".

We do it all the time no need to wait.. Good to go

you will see quickly if they did a bad job of prep when applying to powder-coated objects. If the bond is low your vinyl will take the paint right off.
