    Have you done a wrap course?
    Not used it myself but looking at their website the adhesive structure will make it more difficult to fit than a repositionable film like avery supreme, 3m 1080 or arlon premier.
    Is this a one man job or do you have an assistant? That makes a big difference with any wrap.

    I’ve used the colour change white and blue/green Leon.

    It must be said that was because the customer wanted some colour change lettering on his vehicle, so I’ve not used them for wrapping. I liked them personally and had no problems with application (not that I expected any) 😀

    Not sure if that’s a help or not

    Hi Leon

    you need to use what works best for you, If you have had training, what were you trained on and is the material trained on, upto the job?

    if you have a list of fitters, what is their preference of media and why?
    are your guys reputable or simply the local guys that appear to do lots of this type of work?

    ive never used grafityps colour change but i have used their digital wrapping film and never had any problems.

    keep in mind, you can use the best film ever, but if your fitters are not up to par then you will get a fail regardless. at that point they will blame the film, not themselves. reality is 8/10 fails are down to the installer.
