if you want it to last with the rivits, you have to use a cast vinyl!

Nope. Sure can't. Job calls for cast.

+1 cast both on the vinyl and the lamination.

if you are set on using calendared material then you can remove the rivets install the material and re-install the rivets.
this method takes FOREVER and any savings in material will be lost and cost you more in the installation process.
and you still run the risk of early failure

That being the case......what cast vinyl do you use?

Oracal with matching lam. I just did a restripe on a big rv using their cast air egress wrapping film and knifeless tape. Nice stuff.

3M 180cv3 with matching 8518 (gloss) laminate.

+1. For ANY wrap, vehicle graphics, truck sides, etc.

I can understand using 3m cast with a printed job, but what do you use on a box truck when it's mostly cut vinyl.
You still have the problems with rivets. You can't print a simple phone number and put it on just because of rivets.
That would be one expensive job. do you use calandared ?


BTW... I have printed on 3651 and put it over rivits. Not an easy task, but it works. Looking at it many years later, it seems to still be Ok
