Protecting VinylEfx Graphics with Urethane Clear Coat

How Jimmy Jackson extends the life of RTape's VinylEfx® films.

Airbrush artist, Jimmy Jackson of Myrtle Beach, SC, has used RTape's VinylEfx® films in his motorcycle designs for many years. In all of that time, he has never experienced a graphics failure. How does he do it?




Airbrush artist, Jimmy Jackson

In the photograph shown below, Jimmy  first painted the ghost flames as the background. Then he applied his tribal design, which he created using a VinylEfx® MultiLens film.  After pinstriping the outline around the film, he protected his artwork with four coats of a urethane clear coat. 

Since each paint system is different, test the compatibility of the film with the clear coat prior to using it on a job. You can request a   sample of VinylEfx®  from your distributor. Or you can call  RTape for a sample.   As I like to tell people: Test, Don’t Guess.
