I have a customer that has a couple safety nets for his construction company, He asked me to letter them with his name. They are yellow plastic mesh nets.

I was thinking of cutting a msk and spraying them, but I am wondering what medium to use. Paint or silkscreening ink.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Judging from the abuse the nets would get, ie: being bunched or rolled up and tossed into work trucks, maybe screenprinting ink would last a little longer than paint since it actually bites into the plastic.

At any rate, I think this is one of those things where the customer already knows (hopefully) it's gonna get beat up all the time so of course it's going to need periodic touch-up no matter what material is used.. or maybe he doesn't care either way.
