We've been asked to design, print, and install a 14' decal in the center of a basketball court. I'm worried about it being slippery when wet. One person recommended a spray on product called Decal Guard, and said if you apply enough coats, you don't need to laminate the printed decals. Anyone on here have experience with this? Any insights welcome, thanks!

what's the right print media for wrapping a basketball court floor?

There's one perfect option - Courtwrap from Continental Grafix. This product is amazing and we sell a lot of it to actual basketball court manufacturers. Instead of the print media being "adhesive-backed" vinyl, this is a "gel backed" vinyl. The gel is tacky, but different than a normal adhesive and it will NOT bond with the coated surface of a basketball court like a lot of low-tack and removable adhesives will. I've got 3 stories about people putting removable graphics on a basketball court only to find the adhesive bonded with the court and absolutely destroyed the court.....and if you ever go to a Crate and Barrel you'll see squares on their hardwood floors that just don't match the rest of the floor from a floor graphic campaign that bonded.
This paired with a 6mil slip resistant laminate will look great and remove without harming the court. It is easy to install, easy to remove, and will look really good. https://hascographics.com/product/p...nt-media-designed-for-athletic-courts-54x100/
It has been used for the NCAA Division II and III Final Four championships....it has been used by the Cavaliers and the Bulls for sponsor ads....and it gets used at all those travel volleyball tournaments to make court lines.
