Arrow Ghost Emergency/Reflective Caution Stripes

During the day under normal lighting these stripes are impossible to see. However they are extremely reflective of any other light source.

Take note these pictures are taken obviously in the middle of a bright and sunny day, with only the flash of the camera to make the reflection example. You can easily imagine how well they will work at night.

This is 3M Scotchbrite 680

Completely custom designed and made by me and my vinyl shop lady.

You can get a solid piece (4" tall by 60" long I recommend) from this guy

eBay My World - 3mstore

Just ask him for black 3M Scotchbrite 680 with those dimensions.

I could have it done, yeah. Would need to find a reflective color that closely matches the color of the vehicle it is going on however.


The color shown above on my green Disco is actually black vinyl. I just knew from previous experience that the black reflective vinyl in normal sunlight is basically invisible on my paint.

Default I guess I didn't read this well enough

I bought the tape from the recommended vendor, but didn't realize it was solid reflective black only. Still nice, but would like the striping. So, is it as "simple" as cutting strips of another shade and applying over the base tape?
