CUT FAUX GOLD LEAF VINYL

Hi guys,

Has anyone had experience with ordering custom cut Faux Gold Leaf letters and numbers off the internet?

It's a scary no mans land out there and you never know who you can trust and what kind of product you'll end up with.

Any suggestions will be helpful.

Thanks,
Peter Carbone

What is your definition of "Faux Gold Leaf" lettering?
There are many types of materials that arte "Faux Gold Leaf". Some materials are actually 22k Gold impregnated vinyl with various patterns, some materials (various manufacturers/Brands) are Gold polyester with various patterns and there is actually one material that is / or was available that is 24k hand gilded 1mil. Vinyl in various patterns and tones.

Like Gino said. depends on what you mean.
Signgold & Realgold are actual goldleaf that is printable/cutable.
For fake gold leaf I use VinylEFX, only one with any exterior durabilty.
