Any suggestions on the type of reflective i should be using for this application?

X2 on this material! (although I have used 280 on a couple very similar stripes...)

I would love to see a video of that being applied as well as how to measure the vinyl

Looks like a ~5" stripe, and longer than the bed for measurements. Application is like a wrap; with bridging and stretching. Attachment striping was done with 3M 280.

I just used the stripe the same as the rest of the truck (5.5") but pretended the recess wasn't there, then came back after I removed the the mask and heated and pushed the vinyl into the recess. Ill try to get you a video lol...I have 3 more fenders to do....

Should those small bubbles be a concern on reflective...i know that on regular vinyl they will go away...not sure on reflective....this customer is very picky....

The vinyl i used on this is Avery 1200.
