Would that be "wet" or "dry" applications?

In the beginning of Automotive Graphics, i.e.,
pinstripeing lines on most all the old tin rigs,
they had several crews of "stripers" that 3M
could not even begin to touch as far as skill is
concerned. Ah..., Love the human touch.

I believe the article said dry.

Also, from the second link:

"The film also avoided the cost of installing a new paint booth and eliminated a potential new source of volatile organic compound (VOC)emissions."

It avoided the emissions around the Honda plant, that is...Some refinery still had to make the chemicals to create the vinyl, eh?
