well, they know that for a while but as they insisted... we simply decided not to put any other sponsors / tags / name / number so basically, it's like getting a car with a sport look. Chances are the buyer will ask to get it removed so from that point, I'll be paid for a while and it will no...

Thanks. The pics were shot while working on it but I'll post some other when the project will be completed. Today they were tinting the glasses and swap the mags for white/chrome ones. I'll get the car out for better pics.

Sorry, 'didn't know there was another place to ask for this. I was thinking somewhere over 1k so... I just heard this morning a guy saying he's got his brand new Hyundai Veloster fully wrapped in matte titanium (charcoal) for $1250. If it's true, I'm out of this business, it's getting...

Hi folks! 'Been asked by my local Subaru dealer to do a promotional half wrap to get prospect buyer's attention on their new 2013 WRX. He asked me if I can recreate Block's car pattern. Knowing it can be removed within a month if the buyer want it all black, I selected a budget film but the...

It's a great software to convert raster images into vector art (like dot fader effect) but this freeware is only available on Mac platform. My Mac is too old to get the upgrades and due to limited RAM, it takes forever. Do you know if there's something similar on the market...

'Just got the "bad news of the day" a minute ago...:frustrated: 'Printed graphics for a big rig yesterday so today was "install day". After I finish preparing both side, I began by passenger side. Everything went well until I start driver side. 'Had ½ side done (sleeper) when suddently after...

I've seen stuff like that from istockphoto.com If you do a search with these words: vector - background - blue - wave you should cross very similar file, all scalable to fit your needs. I shop there everyday...

I'm asked by a friend to create an underwater themed wrap for his wife's new daycare service. The wall is 8' x 16'. All I have in stock is a material called Phototex I bought for my kid's room. Worked like a charm but more expensive than cheap removable vinyl... What do you charge by sq.ft...

I have the 1460 because it came in combo in last month's deal at my supplier. 'Must admit I'm an Oracal long-time user so I was used to regular 2mil. thick laminate. The 1360 / 1460 are thinner so a li'l xtra care is needed in the laminator in order to avoid issues along the line. No...

Are the colors picked from Roland's palette? Why would you use Avery's profile absolutely? If you have another one printing decently on cast, use it. Period. I'm very picky when it comes to color matches and perfect prints w/o banding... and in all honesty, I only use 3 differents profiles...

Tell us why you don't let your outsource printer handle the whole job instead of messing with that? They will print - laminate - cut the whole job and if something went wrong during the process, THEY will take it on 'em...

Mr. Watson, liquid laminate are really good usually. I had a supplier for large format (before I bought my own printer) that were specialized in fleet graphics and the stuff they use is simply amazing. That's the setup currently used by those who run big HP TurboJet. They need something...

Tractor will look like that next week. (it's just the demo for approuval)

The tractor is brand new so my job is to put nice graphics on. The trailer is fully wrapped but the clearcoat used is now turning matte everywhere. Colors are still pretty decent but upclose, you can see that the clearcoat is severely dull so I told the owner maybe it could be re-cleared in...

Sometimes I have to print some patches of colors in order to save me from ordering colored vinyls. In these situations, colormatch may be crutial but we can't re-invent the wheel and have the deal with CMYK mix, not true OEM pigment. I have a client that owns big Kenworth and honestly, the...

Removing the clearcoat is something I cannot figure how-to... The actual surface is exactly like if I had wet-sand it with a 1500 grit paper so basically a proper finish to get the clear bond. Sure I would make a test on a small part and 2-3 days later try to pull it off with a piece of...

*'also dropped this post in Vehicle Wrap forum here 'cause I wasn't sure where was the best place to ask this question. Sorry if you already have read it. Here's one I need your opinion on. I have this guy coming to my shop this morning with his new rig he wants to put graphics & letters on...

+1 I'm doing this on regular base instead of testing & guessing if the ink will bond properly...

Here's one I need your opinion on. I have this guy coming to my shop this morning with his new rig he wants to put graphics & letters on before the end of the month. We agreed on price and he dropped a deposit. I walk out to take some measurements and pictures but to find out the trailer his...

Some of the fonts used by GM' designers were available (or duplicated) so that's why I asked. I finally retraced all the letters I needed and the job's done now.
