Printed or just straight vinyl?

If printed, get the 680cr. It has the crosshatch air egress adhesive, be easier on the install.

3M all the way.
Much easier to work with (at least it is for me)

not printed, just 6" stripes

I use Oracal 5600 for striping.

3M has red and yellow available in 6" rolls. I believe Fellers carries it. It is not listed in the catalog. All new Fire Equipment is required to have 6" refelctive striping at a 45 degree on the back of the vehicle. Make sure that you remove all of the hardware.

that's what i meant the 5600

 

[ABCDecals]

that's is with I am going to do on it. Yeah all hardware will be removed first. Is it best to overlap it or bump it together?

We use Nikkalite. You can't beat the price and it installs just fine.

Definitely overlap... 'bout a 1/2".

I had a bad experience printing on Nikilite. You get what you pay for.
3m ij680 is God's gift to the vinyl installer. I would never use anything else.
