    Sorry, i could have been more specific. Some train and bus companies wraps their vehicles instead of painting them, that’s what I’m after.

    Frederik,
    This link has been posted before, but it is worth re-posting, this is really a big vehicle-wrap and the story gives you a nice overview of everything involved in a big wrapping project: http://www.oracal.com/pdf/WestCoast_Article.pdf

    We do a lot of graphics for trains. From no smoking labels to a complete 18 car full wrap. Many of the operating companies are moving from paint to vinyl, so a lot of the trains you see are vinyl covered. There are also a number of trains with digital print as part of a sponsership deal they have.

    However you have to use warrented material, be an approved supplier, and use approved applicators. The same is true for planes, buses less so depending on the operating company.

    There are thousands of trainspotter sites with images of trains. We did a train with a Robin Hood livery which can be seen at http://www.thejetsetter.co.uk/ontherails2.html.
