Default One-way vinyl

I have a customer that wants to put white one-way vinyl on their vehicle windows. Like what you on the back windows of pickup trucks, but just plain white.

Is this what I want? Sign Supplies and Equipment: Oracal Translucent - 24 inch x 10 yds NP - White - Low Price Guarantee

Do they just want the whole window covered in white.. with no printing or anything..??

The reason im asking is sometimes people want it cut like you would letters.. and wanted to give you the heads up that this is not really a good option.. It doesnt cut well.. (just in case that is what they wanted)..

One more thing.. if you are using window perf on a back window.. you need to laminate it so when it rains water does not collect in the little holes and make visibity a problem..

I assumed that most of those view through mesh prints were on the inside of the glass. I guess I was wrong on that one.

David.. nope.. most ive seen are on the outside.. altho there are some that go inside..
the inside ones are actually like a two layer thingie since the side you print on isnt sticky you have to use another layer of stuff to have it stick.. (lol.. like my professional terms..( thingie, stuff). Thats why they pay me the big bucks.. i know all the terms.. hehehehe

I always wondered how they were printed and stuck. I honestly cant say I ever saw one on the outside of the glass but never really walked up and looked real close.

Yes, they just want all white. I know a guy that can laminate it for me if that needs to be done too.

Any of our sponsors sell the stuff?
