bring a folding picnic table or declare a clean area to peel&wet the vinyl, fold in half (3x4) sticky-side-out, spray the piss outta the window & slap that baby up!
lock-in a hinge somewhere near the top, light/medium squeezee-up, finish light/medium squeegee-down, then spray the piss out of it...
aye a half-sphere would be the extent of what I could "wrap" my head around in a pinch. i feel like my above advice is still for advanced users, as any "wrap" over such a contour is certain to lend itself to the pinstripe wiggle.
convex conformable? i doubt it, besides still relying on the material to also do with another material "holding it back".
....but I'd still rock it as a challenge. you can make those bits conform no problem, just start applying in the middle and tear-away mask & smoosh paintmask as you go...
paintmask vinyl for stencil and just spray it with rattlecan.
if the bits and pieces are a pita to weed, then just save the weeding until you've applied the whole sheet. ...i also usually filet all corners to like a .01" so they peel clean rather than tear/lift at corners.
i like the idea of combining it with signage as well, in the form of projection mapping, instead of sweating running power to EVERYTHING you want illuminated or stuffing wiring into thinner&thinner sign profiles.
i'd imagine the outdoor issue being moisture and thermal fluctuations, but those...
either:
the ink that was printed into the holes could have transferred onto the sheet lamination.
or
you sheet laminated with a matte overlam
or
you wet applied and the moisture is trapped in the holes
either way, if you sheet lam perf with intent to view through it, you should either sheet lam...
its a trap! dude shows up to your shop for the graphics, doesn't pay the bill, and then magically produces a receipt of sorts that validates his tenant claims & squatter's rights ensue.
i'd plan my tile line to be at one of those horizontal seams, and you'll never notice it.
...and also pre-removing those hazard lights, so I don't have to work around them. if they're caulked-on, then just rip it off and cleanup best you can, and then caulk them back on
not a fan of sending live text to production. so many instances in the past of fonts/kerning/etc changing ever-so-slightly between design & cutting.
just create outlines and send it however you like.
projector would be tough, as you would need a fairly tall boom and a really bright projector to make that work.
+1 to tiling it into a grid. pretty easy to mark a center and run a 25ft string from the center and mark the perimeter of the circle, and then grid that out to whatever sized tiles...
that's a bummer. I definitely never once assumed they went under from lack of quality work.
Wish our shop & flow was big enough to simply absorb all the employees looking for a new home, because you guys had a lot of talented staff.
the fast signs in my area still has a 1star review from a semitruck driver that once rated me for not having my delivery doors open until 8am but I got it deleted via reporting irrelevance.
...totally gives me SouthPark Yelp Reviewer vibes.
