    Just finished this trailer, Thank goodness there are not many left like this.
    The customer decided to renovate it,
    and redo the vinyl as it was.
    Took me 2 days to apply!!
    Probably the worst combo to get, rivets and corrugations.
    Would probably have been quicker to paint!

    just look on the bright side Peter, it would have taken you even longer if you had applied with water :lol1:

    Peter, did you do the yellow and green as well? or just the text? Either way, it looks good.

    Hi Marek Peter didn’t do the yellow and green ,that was sprayed as are all his others, just did the words and corrugates and rivets ,I think he counted the rivets when he put the black stripe on he told me how many can’t remember how many it was but I thought that’s an awful lot of rivets 🙄

    I feel for you Peter, I had a removal van to do two years ago with rivets everywhere, took me two days to do as well, all the text had a shadow (not my design) and those locking bars on the back doors 🙁

    Had to do mine outside on a pier using a generator for the heat gun.

    Cheers

    Well done Peter, they give us some crap trailers to do, don’t they?

    Today I vinyled a refurbished trailer – the old graphics had been removed, leaving all the adhesive behind, which they simply sprayed over without cleaning. The new lettering looked like it had a handful of gravel underneath. Bloody customers!
