No!!! It is not mine! [Rolling On The Floor]

It's been like that since a few days after it was applied two months ago! Think the sign company that did these gas stations state wide would have done something about it by now.

I've never seen vinyl fail as bad as that. Knowning who did it, its calendered on latex!

they probably got what they paid for. The lowest bid is not the best.

I posted this because I wonder what failed first and why?

NO .. I wasn't there with WD40 [Smile]

Besides, the paint has failed in places. You can see it back to the original sign. BUT, there's a big patch of white on the back of the vinyl in the bottom left corner, and no matching damage on the facia ????

All I can figure is the blue outline/shadow has let go for some reason and where it has adhered has pulled the paint off the background.

The rest of the signage seems OK ... but I wouldn't put a "used-by-date" on it [Smile]

Any ideas?

Given the other vinyl lettering hasn't come off, only half of the name has and that some paint came off too ...Humm

I have never seen film fail to stick and pull the painted background off with it, also look at the "stretching" on the part that has come off

I would say it has been pulled off,

I don't see this as a film failure, its vandals, ex owner, ex employee (sign shop down the road [Rolling On The Floor] ) that has caused this to happen

Dang - I should be in the CIA

I saw another signmakers billboard that looked just like this.. Pretty funny to see the sign guy's sign falling apart after only being up for a few months. It was left in the same state for a few weeks too.
