V98 molds around rivet heads, conforms across weld lines without lifting, and bends around single curves and complex curves where rigid films would tent or peel. V98 does NOT stretch to fit compound-curve surfaces (helmet domes, marine bumper balls); for those, use the flexible-stretchable HI line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between V82 and V98?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eV98 is thicker, softer, and more conformable than V82. V98 is incredibly bright, but not as bright as V82. V82 is rated a Type 5 sheeting and can be used for traffic delineation, while V98 is used more for vehicle conspicuity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs V98 Fluorescent Lime the right material for the upper half of an NFPA 1901 chevron?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — V98 Fluorescent Lime paired with V98 Red is the standard NFPA 1901 rear chevron color combination, and is the preferred choice when the chevron is applied directly to a fire-apparatus body with rivets, weld lines, or curved sections. The fluorescent-lime cast provides strong daytime conspicuity in addition to nighttime reflectivity. Confirm specific chevron stripe-angle and coverage requirements against the current NFPA 1901 standard and your apparatus committee specification before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes V98 require a primer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. V98's repositionable adhesive bonds to any clean, dry, smooth or moderately textured surface above 50°F.
