Question Is Arlon DPF 4600LX sufficient for going over rivets?

We typically use Arlon 4500 for most of our flat installs, but we have been running into the issue of "can we get away with it" on rivets. We don't want to spring for a true cast on rivets, and have been looking into some intermediate vinyls that may be able to go over them without any specialty vinyl purchasing. If Arlon DPF 4600LX won't do the job, what are your suggestions? Everyone we have called and talked to can't REALLY tell us "yes" because of warranty issues and what-not.

Only cast will go over rivets properly. There is no calendared vinyl out there that will do the trick. DPF4600 is good for covering up old graphics due to it's gray adhesive but other than that it is just your standard calendared vinyl with air release. People use it for van and truck graphics except for when there are rivets. When there are rivets you either have to work around them or use cast.
