Hi Mate

Very impressive – must have taken a good few hours to apply?

Did you have any problems with the app tape taking any paint off the wall?

How long did it take to design it all?

Cheers guys

It was for a new community church that opened up and the job came through a design company I deal with so it was their design, there are many things in the design that personalise it to the customer, it has some pictures done by them, one of their dogs are in it, numbers on the tram are dates of the building etc etc so was not just a totally random thing.

I was given 6 days to complete and that included cutting/weeding/taping 😮 😕 I use Conform Low Tack (and thanks to Gill at William Smith for the support and samples etc to test tapes) The wall was new and painted a few weeks prior and was done extremely well, not one bit of paint came off with app tape or masking tape, I even had to remove some of the large silver panels due to colour inconsistency which the supplier said was because I cut some width ways and other pieces long ways but even after re-cutting it had the same problem, but this came off the wall cleanly even though was stuck down well.

So in total it took me 3 days to cut/weed/tape/trim with most of it cut on my Roland 540i (as I only have a 610mm cutter) and then 3 days to fit, would have been less but had to replace 6 silver panels which took about half a day.

The wall was just over 20m long and 3m high at the bottom of the stairs.

It looks 100x better in real life as it is hard to get pictures of such a long wall at such a tight angle.

It was one of the most enjoyable and satisfying jobs I’ve done to date though even though it was a tight pressured deadline.

cheers
