    Default Vinyl Outdoor Stickers

    Howdy all,

    I am looking at having stickers made for corn hole games. Probably 10 to start. CO flag. 24"x48" with a hole cut out. UV protected for extended outdoor use.



    Anyone on the board do this?

    TIA!

    I thought Mazin might have done stickers. Don't know if he did anything that large. I've got a neighbor with a large format printer (about the size of a tanning bed), but I don't know if he does stickers. I'll ask.

    I could do this, but will have to order material and it would be layered for each color, not printed in different colors. (We have a cutter, not a printer)

    ^this 100% I'm In the same boat I dont have solubale printer but a vinyl cutter.
    Would have to order some oracle 651 (5-7 year outdoor life) in all the colors and then apply on color at a time. Shouldn't be too much of a thickness difference layering so I wouldnt worry about the vinyl affecting game play but I couldn't guarantee it wouldnt ether. We will Need to know dimensions and count to figure out how much vinyl to order.

    Hit up Otec first because I'm not jacking anyones gig.

    Using cheap vinyl as a stencil and painting the board may be a better option. As Mazin said, the layers could impact how the bags slide.

    Yep and ether rolled very very thin but it would still leave a small texture (paint would still be layering so there would be differences in height like vinyl just not as pronounced) or you can spray it but with latex your going to have a texture no matter what. My next question would be do that have "preferred paint" or is it not that stringent.

    If I were to do this right, I would decal stencil and spray, then a layer or 2 of clear, sand, and clear again.

    I am not a painter. I had these painted by a local but wasn't too impressed. I was going to change the design to a CO flag colors star burst but I am still not a painter.


    How smooth would a layered decal be? Price per decal? Feel free to PM.

    Have a decal on your vehicle's glass? That, per layer. 3 magpul stickers thick at points. I agree that repeated impacts or slides across an edge will pull the vinyl up. Would be the same as placing a decal in the path of a windshield wiper.
