It is a polymeric calendared vinyl and thus is not meant for complex curves. A cast film may be better suited for vehicles with complex curves and deep recesses. What types of vehicles are ideal for GF 230 AutoMark GF 230 Premium 2.4 mil Calendared gloss white vinyl digital media is designed to be applied to corrugations riveted surfaces flat and slight to moderate curves. The construction can be used on vans trucks sedans of all sizes fleet and recreational vehicles. What are the recommended laminates for GF 230 Our standard laminates are GF 231 UV Gloss and GF 240 UV Matte finishes. For a higher gloss finish use GF 242 UV Gloss Cast laminate. Can I use wet application techniques on the GF 230 No. Although AutoMark has a solvent based adhesive the air-egress technology could potential trap fluids and be extremely difficult
to extract and remove. Wet application is not warranted. Can I use primer with this product We do not recommend Primer 94 with our product. If absolutely necessary a small amount of Pro Bond Adhesive Promoter may be used in the tougher areas but best practices are to clean the surface and crevases thoroughly as most failures are the result of dirt and debris.
