    I have not been on the board much lately. Too busy with my new business.

    Here is my first fleet job. Just finished installation on the first van today. It took me freaking 6 hrs for installation alone. I toughed I could wrap it up in 3. Oh well. Next one will take less for sure.

    Not the first vehicle I have done, but first for my own company.

    Cheers!

    Love the design, what did you print the ivy leaves with, or are they vinyl?

    well done. 6 hours for the first one. That would be expected given you have to do all the measuring and such wouldn’t it? I’d supect youd get this down to 3 or 4?

    Love the colours too. Was that your design?

    nice job, nice colours too, works well with the silver,

    like Shane says, with all the measuring to do, it will take a while, but if you’v got more to do you’ll most likely get quicker with each.

    Nice work.
    It is a very attractive loking van!
    Not your average-run-of-the-mill design either.
    It is effective and easy to read, yet stylish.
    Love….jill

    Oh thank you for so many compliments! I guess this one is for my portfolio 🙂

    Letter A was filled by someone else, part of a design for business card that someone created and was given to me to use. Leaf was a clip art also picked up to keep it consistent with the card that BTW looks kinda crappy.

    Rest is my work. Letter A had a soft Shadow that I removed and placed a bold outline so its more visible. Design part took me about 3 hrs.

    I do not own the printer so I outsourced that part. I know it was printed on Roland with ecosolvent inks, laminated and couture cut.

    Brian, green band is vinyl.

    90% of all the graphisc have been layed down dry. Used sun to heat up vinyl instead of the heat gun 😉 Had to turn the vehicle couple of times during installation.

    For vinyl I used oracal 651 I know I might get “boos” for that, but it is a low budget project.

    I have to do 2 more vans (one white, one green) a white cube truck and windows only on 2 SUV-s. The cube truck I will cut with better vinyl to help me deal with the rivets. I am not sure if 651 would do it.

    That is pretty much all the info on the project. And yes, client was VERY happy!

    Cheers!
