I have a 3x3' pan feace about 3" deep and I need to cover it with a dark blue pantone match. I'll need the color to go all the way to the edges everywhere. Will the wrap material stretch around those bends? I've never applied solid vinyl around compound shapes.

I think it would be tough. When they use vinyl to make a background color on a pan face, my supplier said they put the vinyl on the flat face and then vacuum form it. They advised me to not try to wrap a pan face. Then again, this was many years ago and I don't do vehicle wraps. They wrap some pretty tight compound curves on vehicles so maybe wrapping vinyl would be possible.

Brad, yes it is translucent. The corners are thinner and transmit a little more light but it is negligible. Here's one done vacuum formed with the vinyl attached. It's kinda grainy but this was taken at night with the cabinet illuminated in 2003, must have been with my first digital camera or a photo from film that I scanned. Can't remember back that far. But this sign is still up and looks great.
