## FAQ

### Does cut vinyl lettering have a background panel?

No. Cut vinyl lettering is computer cut directly from a single colour of self adhesive vinyl film with no backing sheet, so only the letter or logo shape is applied and the surface underneath shows through everywhere else.

### How long does vinyl lettering last outdoors in Adelaide?

Outdoor life depends on the vinyl grade used. Gigantic Signs cuts lettering from colour cut vinyl in short term (3 year), medium term (5 year) or long term (7 year) grades, selected to suit the surface and the life the job needs.

### Can vinyl lettering be removed without damaging the surface underneath?

A correctly applied self adhesive vinyl lettering job is designed to be removed cleanly from glass, painted walls and most vehicle panels, though very old or sun damaged vinyl can be more brittle to lift and may need heat to release fully.
