I am in need of a silver reflective direct screen printing ink. 3M no longer carries it.

Does it need to be rated for Turn Out Gear? 

Does it Have to be at specific lumens?

We have a gallon of 3M 8011 A & B.  Never been opened but it is at LEAST 5 years old.  If you wnt to take a chance it's your's for the cost of freight.
