My mentor into the sign industry called me to assist on a wrap install this week! Being as neither of us had done a full wrap install yet it was a very intimidating task. He has been a sign maker for 15 years now and I am going on 9 years, both of us making custom signs & vehicle graphics.
The customer brought him the graphics, we installed them, and I was very impressed at how well it turned out! It looks like a paint job it is so smooth...and we had very minimal seems (one above the window on each door, not on the actual door but on the small strip between the door jam and the roof rack, and one on the body line right in front of the rear view mirrors).
Although I am not a fan of camo it was a great first wrap pattern because the panels did not have to align in anyway other than the lines of the digital camo had to be straight the whole way thru.
We had to laugh at ourselves because we sat down pre-wrap and watched the video from Gorilla Graphics & Fellers on "how to wrap"...when we finished we looked at each other and said "OK, I guess we're ready to wrap!"
Like I said it has always intimidated me but now that I have this first wrap under my belt I am excited to do a lot more! I was only going to do a partial wrap on my truck but now I am definitely going with a full!
