vehicle graphics: smart car
hey oop, just a quick job last tuesday, the guys car had been keyed on both sides, thankfully the same height each side ! he came to me with no idea what to put on there, and to be honest, i was a bit stumped too, well, i knew it would be a solid stripe, but with the way the front curves in every direction known to man, i had no idea how to finish it,
a quick scout thru one of my graphic discs found the design at the front of the stripe, i think it works ok, and the silver wasn’t too bad a match for the silver on the car, customer was well happy – which i guess is the aim of our business- and saved £520 on a £600 respray !
it took about 1/2hr to apply, it shoulda been about ten mins, but the force 6 wind howling down the road was a little on the very blowy side of breezy !

Hi Hugh,
Nice job mate. Being cheeky now, what do you charge for something like that (?) -

not cheeky at all karl ! 1.5m of oracle 651 (about £3.50), scraps made the smart logo (free !) and an hour or so to design and cut/weed/apply, woulda been £80 but was a mate of a mate so £60, easy money !
he’d bought a couple of black strips off of ebay between calling me and coming around to see the design, they went straight back on ebay ! they were a horrible 2-3yr satin matt, felt horrible and didn’t even come with app tape !!
