There’s a slight downside to applying vinyl graphics to vehicles. This is that they are a semi-permenant application. For taxis and private hire vehicles which need temporary branding which can be removed and re-applied easily, magnetics are the way to go.
Border Exclusive Travel – Vinyl Magnetics for Taxis and Private Hire Vehicles
The magnetic substrate comes in a white base-colour, so it’s ideal for white vehicles. However, if applying to different coloured vehicles, the usual way to go is to apply a base background of vinyl to match the paintwork, with the graphics and text on top.
On this particular job, I spray-painted the magnetic substrate with three coats of gloss-black and a clear-coat to lock it in so pressure-washing etc wouldn’t make the paint chip and peel. It’s always advisable to apply the graphics after the paint and top clear-coat is thoroughly dry. This is because the paint may peel when removing the backing of the top graphics.

Hey thanks for the info. Now we don’t need to add the sticker and paint on our taxi.
It’s really a good thing.
