FDC 4200 Sunflower Sign Vinyl 24″ — Lumina® 4200-025
FDC Films
FDC Lumina® 4200 Sunflower (Color #025) is a premium 24″ intermediate-grade ultra-high gloss calendered PVC sign vinyl in a rich, golden sunflower yellow that brings warmth, optimism, and high-visibility presence to every application it enters. At 2.8 mil with a permanent acrylic adhesive and ultra-high gloss finish, Sunflower cuts cleanly, weeds efficiently, and bonds firmly. It is the saturated, warm golden yellow that harvest seasonal displays, sunflower farm identification, bee and honey brand graphics, construction caution signage, school district vehicle lettering, and warm retail brand identity choose when they want yellow to feel rich and grounded rather than electric and neon. Rated up to 5 years outdoors.
Price range: $6.00 through $221.23
Description
Rich, Golden Sunflower Yellow — Warmth and Presence in Every Season
Sunflower #025 is yellow that has settled into itself — warm, saturated, and confident without the chartreuse edge of Lime Green or the flat utility of safety yellow. The golden yellow of sunflower fields at peak bloom, harvest festival brand identity, honey and apiary graphics, and warm retail displays that want yellow to feel like late August afternoon light.
Rich Golden Sunflower Yellow
Color #025 is a warm, saturated golden yellow with the richness of sunflower petals at peak bloom — not electric chartreuse, not flat safety yellow, not a pale pastel. A fully saturated, warm-leaning golden yellow that reads as harvest-warm and optimistic.
Warm Ultra-High Gloss Finish
The 4200 Series topcoat gives Sunflower a warm, light-catching luminance that amplifies its golden quality — making harvest festival retail displays glow with seasonal warmth and honey brand storefronts communicate richness.
Permanent Adhesive for Seasonal & Outdoor
The clear permanent acrylic adhesive cures to 2.5 lbs/in after 24 hours — holding harvest signage through outdoor temperature swings and school vehicle lettering through years of daily route exposure.
5-Year Outdoor Durability
Rated up to 5 years outdoors — the longevity that permanent sunflower farm field identification, honey brand storefront graphics, and school district fleet lettering require.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions — FDC 4200 Sunflower Sign Vinyl
How does Sunflower #025 differ from Matte Yellow #080 and Lime Green #257?
Three yellows and yellow-greens with completely different personalities. Sunflower #025 is a warm, golden gloss yellow — harvest, honey, and school brand identity. Matte Yellow #080 is the same warm yellow family but flat matte finish — the safety and construction choice where glare reduction matters. Lime Green #257 is electric chartreuse — the hi-vis safety and sports energy color.
Is Sunflower yellow good for school bus and school district fleet lettering?
Sunflower #025 is well-suited for school district vehicle lettering. Its warm golden yellow is in the recognized school color family. Clean thoroughly with IPA to remove wax and road grime. Apply above 40°F and allow 24 hours cure before vehicle washing.
What makes Sunflower the right color for honey and apiary brand signage?
Golden yellow is the visual signature of bee and honey brand identity — the color of honeycomb cells and sunlit honey jars. Sunflower #025’s warm, saturated golden quality delivers exactly the rich honey-tone these brands need for storefront signage and market display graphics.
Can Sunflower be used for sunflower farm and agritourism signage?
Yes — one of the most contextually authentic choices. Sunflower farm field entrance identification and harvest festival event graphics in Sunflower yellow create an immediate visual connection to the attraction itself.
What colors pair with Sunflower for harvest and farm brand graphics?
Sunflower pairs powerfully with dark brown #008 for a classic harvest and honey palette. Forest Green #142 creates an autumn farm combination. Navy and Patriot Blue #266 provide high-contrast school district combinations.
Does Sunflower yellow fade or shift color outdoors?
Warm yellows can gradually shift toward lighter or more orange tones under sustained direct UV. For south-facing and high-UV permanent signage, a UV-protective overlaminate extends the rich golden character.
What application tape works best with Sunflower?
PC-24 paper tape is the reliable workhorse for school bus lettering and fleet vehicle graphics. Clear 24″ film tape is better for honey boutique window installations where precise visual alignment against existing store elements is part of the final composition.
