Are you looking for cut vinyl, printed vinyl, or wrap vinyl? Interior or exterior, flat surface, textured surface, compound curves?Hey guy's its JT again wanted to know if anyone wanted to weigh in on vinyl's I need to have to get started

It's better to have two hands than one glove.
For cut vinyl have black, white, red, blue in both cast and calendared. For print vinyl, calendared for decals and assorted short term stuff. Cast for everything else. In a pinch you can get away with using your cast white cut[ing] vinyl for printing requiring cast vinyl.

Yup.. almost everything Karst said I could disagree with.
Oracal 651 is my go to. I have 50 yd. rolls of Black, White and Red, and spares of them all. I have about 30 various other colors I bought as needed.
Signcraft pricing is dumb
Outsource to S365 if you need to

651 is probably the most popular and best calendared vinyl out there and always has been. I'll get some people riled up here but 651 is good enough to not really need to use a cast material. We keep black red and white in 651 and 751.

I keep red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet Oracal 651 colors on hand to make rainbow signs for my friends for ralleys and parades.

We almost exclusively use Gerber (made by 3M) high performance vinyl in 15" & 30" widths. We use 3M for 48".
