Has anyone Ever used SignPile.com? They have specialty vinyl for $39.00 per 10' roll gold, silver, chrome, holographic, etc. They say a 5 year warranty. Is it any good?

I just found that site this week. I can't believe 5 years though. Even the old Coburn, now R-Tape Efx, was only 2 year on the durable version. Their prices and shipping costs are good, but they also don't mention a brand name for their materials. I had to hunt for it but found out that they are located in Nicholasville, KY. The company that did the website has the same address. Maybe John Deaton or another Kentucky Letterhead might have more info on them.

This has been on my vehicle for a few years maybe longer and is still in excellent like new condition. The gold still reflects light, color and looks perfect. Of course I outlined it in orange 1-Shot which btw hasn't faded in the least from what I can tell. The product was from Graphtec of Vermont from what I remember and I'm not really a vinyl person but this is the only stuff I like and have used in the past as well. My stripe kit has my logo as well, done 14 years ago.
If I thought it would only last a couple years, I would never have used it and like I said, it still looks awesome.

Avery Fas Cal make the best "Chrome" and "Gold" polymeric vinyls.
I use it on my own vehicles and it has lasted over 4 years already on the van even in this climate, and it lives outside summer and winter.
Word of warning though: With polmerics always apply over a layer of regular vinyl like a black outline. Reason? It's like reflective vinyl and when you come to remove it breaks up in tiny pieces, almost impossible to get off.

Caveat emptor. Signpile appears to be owned by the family that owns SSK sign supply, which from what I've read on another sign forum, is bankrupt and out of business.

you might wish to know that.. This site is the remains or is connected to the owners of ssk Sign Supply Kentucky who suddenly closed at the first of the year owing untold amounts to creditors. There seems to be some "history". If rumor has it right this is whats left of some of their stock.. For what rumors are worth.. Caveot Emptor.

I did get the feeling that SSK had something to do with this site. I'm not sure why maby the layout or some thing. They did say when they were closing that they hoped to remain in the Buiss to some extent. Ciber cut is what drew me to the site,I can't find much help, and have a small problem with my prgram.h
