How do I take care of my Paint & Vinyl Lettering or Pinstriping?
Paint: When properly cared for, your lettering or pinstriping should last for many years. We’ve personally experienced it lasting 10 years or more. Do not wax, buff or power-wash for 30 days. After 3 days, you may wash gently by hand. When power-washing*, keep wand at least several feet away from lettering or pinstriping. For longest lasting results, as with all painted surfaces, protect from the elements & excessive wear whenever possible. Painted signs need no special care. Vinyl: Most regular vinyl is warranted by the manufacturer for 5-7 years. Premium vinyls may last 8-10 years. Specialty vinyls (metallic, reflective, fluorescent, etc.) don’t generally last as long. For vinyl lettering, wash gently until vinyl is bonded to paint. However, as with paint, close-up or excessive power-washing may erode the surface. Vinyl signs need no special care. *For best results, DO NOT POWER-WASH painted or vinyl graphics. We cannot be responsible for paint or vinyl failure due to power-washing.
