What is the best type of vinyl to use for custom car lettering?
If you plan on having your new vinyl car lettering in service for 2 years or more, you should choose genuine “DuraCast 2 mil thickness, High-Performance Vinyl Film”. DuraCast vinyl graphics are so durable, they are rated for 7-10 years outdoors, even through multiple car washes. In fact, DuraCast vinyl has a higher rating and longer warranty than 3M Brand vinyl. However, if you know for certain your car will be in service less than 2 years, feel free to choose the cheaper intermediate vinyl instead.
