Vinyl Lettering > Help > F.A.Q. > Vinyl Quality F.A.Q->Vinyl Quality Will your letters withstand winter elements? Yes. The sun is their main enemy. Over many years the sun will work away at the lettering causing them to eventually fade & curl. This usually takes at least 7 years and sometimes as much as 8 or more with cast vinyl. 3-5 with standard calendared. Can you Guarantee color matches? No we can not. We can provide you with a color sample via Mail. It is not possible to provide proofs to all of our customers that will look exactly like the actual product. This is for two reasons. Everyone uses different computer monitors and settings. A computer screen is illuminated, so the colors will appear different on the screen than they do in real life. How long can I expect my lettering to last? We use Premium Vinyl from ORACAL. According to the vinyl manufacturer, 7 years. However, we have seen many vinyl letters continue to maintain their durability many years longer. Design Questions Installation Questions Shipping Faq Surface Requirements Vinyl Quality Testimonials
