any 3M experts out there?
I posted this in OT, but I don't think I'll be getting any feedback... anyone? And sorry for cross-post
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am looking for a 3M product, basically is the vinyl decal material.
something that is weather-resistance
flexible for installation over the curves/corners on the vehicle
easy to remove without damaging the paint job on the car
I looked at the 3M web site, but it's too complicated...
Help?! Thanks!

You need to be more specific- how do you intend to put the images on the material? Laser or ink printing? Silkscreen?
What color material do you want?
Their web site is pretty complicated, but this pdf seems to lay out all the options for you to choose from:

-Never mind, try looking at the "3m Label materials guide" it is available as a downloadable pdf, but linking directly to it doesn't seem to work
Check out their 7600 material......probably close to what you're looking for

I work with automotive specialty films all day long, 3M does not make the best vinyl or urethane films out there though, what exactly are you trying to do? Graphics?

Yes, graphics. So what brand should I go with? I was thinking 3M because that is the only one I know. I won't be printing them myself. Since they will be large decals. So I'll have special print shop that prints vinyl or which ever material is best for my need. So where do you work and what do you do Krinkov? Your line of work might be exactly what I need. Thanks!
BTW, thanks Pete, for the info.
