A client has requested a sign with a flat black base and white vinyl graphics....can I expect any issues?
Thanks!

YES!
Vinyl does not like to stay stuck to flat paint!

Cover the background with flat black vinyl commonly used for vehicle wraps. Problem solved.

I have read on this board that a flat finish paint could be an issue so that is why I asked for confirmation. I think what I will have to do is roll on white first, mask the logo, and roll flat black for the background.

I should have mentioned I'm using alkyd/oil base paint.

Hey Joe...Isn't that what Marty already said yesterday?
BTW..."wala" has no real meaning...maybe "voilá" might be what you mean???? Posted by Phillip Newell (Member # 4618) on :
Black background, white vinyl, matte clear coat.

Why not mask and spray the white? If the base color is already black of course.

Sorry for the double post.

What are you using for the sign. Black DiBond has very little sheen and vinyl sticks just fine.

Dave may be on to something. How flat does it need to be? And is paint a requirement?
Posted by Bill Diaz (Member # 2549) on :
paint background with 1 Shot lettering black and put your white vinyl graphics on it and tell the customer that the 1 Shot will have a flat sheen within a couple of years (hahaha!!!!!!!!!)
