Hammertone finish

[YIbble'r]

Hiya...
Is there a trick for getting vinyl to stick to a hammertone finish? I am having a peeling problem as pictured...
Any suggestions would be great

Is the orange printed or is that cheap fluorescent vinyl?

Is the white a regular cut vinyl? It looks like it's still OK unless the lower right side of the G is peeling also? Hard to tell from the pic.

When did you apply this...it looks like the orange is fading around the edges.

Awesome... thanks for the tips... it is printed and has only been on a week... I will try the heat trick

Cast vinyl, properly outgassed before lamination, and lots of post heating and pressure should stay fine, but there are also vinyls made specifically for "low energy surfaces" that might stick even better.

Along with heat use a rivet brush or foam roller to work the vinyl down into the texture.

That's a powder coated finish. OP needs to use low energy surface vinyl. You're welcome.

I thought it looked powder coated as well.

Other side of the pond is a strange place for certain...
