  Needing advice on fitting stripes

  Posted by Gavin Conway on 10 August 2010 at 23:17

  Hi all – could someone give me the best way to fit 3 stripes all 50mm next to each other (black/yellow/black) to a van bonnet..

  Should I do it in singles and wet or all 3 together with transfer tape – wet or dry ?? Never done stripes before..
  Thanks Gavin

  By next to each other, I presume you mean without a gap separating them?
  I would apply in two pieces, yellow as one piece about 145 mm wide then the two black stripes on top, so you have a slight bleed, done dry, hinged from the middle.
  You could put the yellow over the black, but depending on the opaquness of the vinyl it can discolour. ideally a laminated print would give a better result

  Hi Peter – yes as you said adjacent.. so your yellow then black makes a lot of sense… I hadn’t thought of that way… thanks for the help..
