Don't expect it to last as long as other reflectives being fluro if you have high UV like us it does fade a lot quicker

I had the same thought as Ian but those new signs have been up in my area for over a year now and they all look the same as they did a year ago.

It shouldn't fade like fluoro because it is actually a Diamond Grade product, just like Conspicuity Tape for trailer marking- i.e. super bright reflective...if you look close it has that bead structure in it.

Talked to 3M, the smallest amount I could buy was 22" x 50 yard roll for $1633.20 The customer only wanted real estate sized signs. She decided to go another way.

keith I would like to see the warranty as 3m in australia will only warranty diamond grade fluro's for three years and will give no warranty if they are installed at 45 degrees as we had to do at our local airport they also insist that they be washed regularly. I also find that I can buy small quantities from the company that supplies signs to all goverment bodies such as our Main Roads department
