I've had a request for lettering on Sunbrella. I did a couple many years ago when the stuff first came out, but don't remember what I did or what material that I used. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I need the best products for durability and longevity. The bulk of the job will be white on a bright red sunbrella. Thanks, Mike

One Shot works as good as anything ...tho two coats are likely when using white on a dark surface.
I've also had good luck cutting a mask on the plotter then rolling or spraying the copy on. (make sure the edges are sealed well)
Sometimes I use a clear sealer (krylon crystal clear) first sometimes I don't.

Thanks for all your help, I'm pretty much back up to speed now. Although the project has been put on the back burner untill they decide that it's an overnight emergency again. Some things never change. Thanks again.....

Sunbrella, Monte, I don't know if 1shot is the best route for that product, I have found that Acrylic Latex House Paint works the best, it does'nt soak like 1shot, but the Idea of a paint mask cut on the computer is something I always used, like you said it takes a little extra time to lay down, just take your time when pulling off the premask, then roll away.
