Car Magnet advertising

seanyfitz07

Have seen a few of these floating about town on various cars, anybody any had an experience using them?

My main concern is that they would wreck my paint?

Hi there,

I have a small bit of experience with these magnets, they can only be placed on square panels. e.g Van (side panels and doors etc) If there is a dip/groove on the door, the magnet cannot be placed here.

Two people are required to place them on to the van/car and if done incorrectly the magnets can damage the paint work. Another problem is that you might have to remove them at night, once word gets out you'll find kids will take them for the laugh, some laugh when your paying out 250e +...:p

I bought the bigger size ones from vistaprint,they are a good idea but when i got them and put them on the van I realised how tacky they look so never used them.They won't damage your paint if you have some cop on,ie: wipe the surface of the magnet before sticking it on and make sure the surface of the vehicle is clean.

Hi there,

The place I work makes these magnetic signs up for people.

Personally I think vinyl stickers/wraps are better unless you need them taken off sometimes (ie if you are a driving instructeo by day and a taxi by night)

There are two types of vinyl that we use: one is for short term promotional stuff and the other is for long term use.

here are some examples of the vinyl stickers: CDM_Web2.jpg VisionSignsGraphics.jpg

If you have any questions about magnetics or vinyls I can help you with just let me know!
