2nd thoughts....why did you switch up material like that? 3552 would have been fine for the door....
I mean...what you did was fine, but perhaps a bit overkill and expensive...also, was it hard getting the color match with different profiles/materials??

I really don't have a good answer for that! I'm just the installer, so I put up what my company gives me. The colors matched up well - they just got a new Epson solvent based printer and profiled all of the materials they use.
I DO know that 3662 is designed for screen printing and not warrantied for how we use it. The solvent based inks turn the vinyl into taffy and makes the adhesive tackier, which makes it a tough install.
I did appreciate the 180-10 for the door, though. It made working around the four door hinges easy, since it's not very aggressive compared to the 3662.
I am not familiar with 3552. What do people use this material for?

I used the 3M line of rollers and a heat gun. The trick is slow speed, decent pressure, 1,000 deg of heat and overlapping like crazy with the roller. If you go too fast, the vinyl looks streaked or glossy in some ares and not in others. I always try to make it consistent as possible.
