What's the name of that stuff used to back-spray color onto Polycarbonate? "Gripflex"? or something like that? Anyway, How much do you normally charge to spray the background color, say, in black, leaving the lettering white?....as opposed to just using vinyl lettering on the Polycarb. ,Thanks

The two faces I have to do are 120" x 26" each
Thanks

Why not just use Vinyl? Grip Flex is what I always used, be careful not to use the wrong thinner, reg Laq. thinners will melt the lexan.. you have to use t-2003 designed for lexan.

The Grip Flex is an Akzo Nobel product if you are looking for it. Good luck trying to find information on their website though...

Thanks guys! I talked them out of the black background on the polycarb faces and used vinyl. To me, it was inconsistent for their logo to have white letters on a black background. This is their site...
http://www.westpointhome.com/

....and these are the dimensional letters we installed on their storefront.

Spraylat is a waterbased liquid mask...I haven't bought any in several years...looks like PPG owns it now.
