Which media for each application

Im looking for feedback on the type of media people are using for the below applications. I think this may also help educate not only myself but many who are either new to vinyl or have just been using the same old material because they are afraid of changing suppliers or brands.

Could you advise what you use or recommend as the best media with the most suitable adhesive for each apllication. It should provide good all year round adhesion with resistance to extreme outdoor weather conditions. Lets try not to make this an ink related thread but keep to media that can be printed on to, with or without lamination. This is more for adhesion properties than anything.

1. Inside vehicle engine bay with High resistance to heat and oils and shrinking.

2. Bumper stickers

3. For use on raw aluminium (flat and pitted)

4. For use on powdercoated metals

5. For use on painted surfaces (vehicle 2pack paint)

6. For use on hard PVC plastics (similar to dirt bike plastics)

7. For use on indoor water base paint coated walls

8. For use on vehicle windscreens



Hope I get some replies as its sure to help many of us ;)

Cheers


:thankyou:

Ha, nice one gents. Does anyone use the Avery 900 Supercast for any of the above?
Tho I like the idea of using one film for everything. Setup one print media profile and your done :D

If you did that in Australia, you'd go broke.
