    This is a truck we did a couple of months ago. Just did just the doors and rear bumper on a 2nd one but the truck was white.

    Customer did not have a logo so I designed the one shown.

    The second truck (not shown) I did by myself dry. I found the curve a little tricky (more so than I thought). I did a verticle hinge, maybe I should have done it horizontal??? I did get through it though with not too much bother but any tips would be appreciated.

    Not sure if all the services are really necessary on the back but the customer was pleased. Not sure if there is a better way to layout a back like that.

    Thanks,

    Bryan

    Looks good mate. I am not a fan of too much script which would be my only complaint as such. Not much else you could do with the layout given that there was so much text tho.

    An horizontal hinge is the answer to uneven surfaces like this one. IN most instances the hinge should go the same direction as the crease on the surface. A cast material would have no problems with this ridge either.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks Shane.

    When I applied the vinyl I just followed the contour. Would at have been better to apply taught and then heat the vinyl and push into the coutour? (Not sure if I am explaining that correctly.)

    Thanks again,

    Bryan
