    you need to print white first then the colours over the top, I presume you have white ink in your printer.

    Or just get white vinyl and print black where you need it.

    think you could only print white / metalics onto black vinyl, - if you have that option.

    Did a job on black carbon fibre effect vinyl once that was in colour and used the white>CYMK profile and came out fine.

    Did another job on black one that required a really punchy white so made a new profile that put down 3 layers of white and worked really well.
