I have a sign I'm re-doing for a client that's got probably 15 year old or more printed vinyl on it and obviously you can guess at this point it's pretty faded. One side is worse than the other and it cracked pretty bad as it gets much more sun exposure. We are re-using the .080 aluminum since it's specially die-cut for the design. My question is, what would be the best vinyl to last at least 10 years or more? Obviously 3m is good but was also looking at Oracal 3951 with 290 lam. I print on lots of Oracal products and have never had any issues. Would it help if I use automotive clear coat over the laminate to really make it last?? Or what about double-lamination? Never heard of anyone doing that but wondered if that would prolong the graphic. Any thoughts or suggestions?
