Yeah, as I've said before, we've been considering this approach. We're doing a test of this theory on smaller "model" today.

truckgraphics Thanks for the detailed instructions. This is similar to the approach we've taken so far, but I feel like I've started in the middle and always worked out to the edges whether it be vertically or horizontally for fear of those areas gathering a bunch of material and getting "left...

Great feedback. I am going to at least sample some other materials for situations like this. Especially since I have a lot of these trucks to do.

I like the taped edged idea. Thanks!

Yeah, obviously you can see the ghosting of the old graphics and everything else is oxidized. I brought up these general concerns about the surface, but they wanted to move ahead as is. I guess getting one of these trucks back to the original finish would cost 10K per truck according to the company.

That's perfect! I appreciate the detailed description. That's what I was envisioning. Super helpful-Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and suggestions. There are a lot of things brought up by members here that I hadn't thought of or was unsure of how to approach. I'm definitely going to try some of these methods and look into that other material (Arlon SLX). I'll be working on the next truck in...

JBurton -No, I'm able to remove the ladder so that's out of the way. Thanks for the good advice- I like the pizza idea. I'm worried about printing and leaving extra material to be trimmed down to the shape due to the complex nature of the shape on the contoured surface. We even talked about...

ActionGraphics Thank you! Thats's good advice and that's part of what I've been trying to get across to management. Of course the vehicle can't be off the road for long and we are short-staffed like most places. One quick clarification; the squeegee strokes should be vertical but also pushing...

Hey Gino. I wish! That would be an elegant solution in a common sense world, but those decisions have already been made at the corporate level and we need to keep consistency within the fleet and materials.

Thanks for the reply, unclebun. Just to clarify-You're saying hinge it vertically, but only do the middle, do NOT squeegee that hinge line all the way out to the edges? SO do a "semi-circular" or just center patch and work that half of the whole graphic out radially? Then repeat on the other...

Greetings to all! I’m new to the Signs101 site and forums. I have searched for related topics and come up short so far, but please let me know if this has been discussed elsewhere and I just missed it. I have a few years of vehicle install experience, but it’s not the main thrust of what I do...
