Fleet Vehicle Graphics: Hanna & Howie
just opened a can of bud to relax for the night, had one hell of a day.
vans i had to do yesterday ended up being done today along with our regular Friday work. OH… but not before lettering a 4 metre by 1.5 metere banner and two small signs 😕 :lol1:
Andrew (vectorwise) and i started at 9am loaded up our van after lettering the banner etc and headed out for a BUSY Friday…. we had 5 stops in total… 4 individual customers all close by and the last a fleet of 9 vans as shown in picture.
the first van a milvano, then a scudo then a LWB Sprinter (covered in text) in fact all the vans had allot of text, some reflective with stripes and chevrons… 4th an escort…
we ended up with a customer we never see for a couple of years then bam a fleet of vans. these aren’t that hard but take time as the heating element crosses recesses and is in two layers. the rear windows are all blacked out with white vinyl first then text on top.13 vans later we are both knackered, glad to say we wont be seeing those Hanna vans for another couple of years. 😉 :lol1:
all vans fitted using oracal 751 cast. DRY 😎

very nice rob, nice design work, very smart, well 😉 done
-
Well you’ve certainly earned your lemonade today Rob thats for sure
They look great – nice design work
Now one of the vans has the element placed on tuther side
There must have been an element of risk in doing that
You didn’t burn your hands putting them on did you….and I guess the driver of one of the vehicles will turn out to be a real smart —- judging by his number plate
Great work
-
I don’t know where you get the energy from Rob.
Well done that’s quite an achievement in one day. I bet you and Andrew have aching feet now
-
wow ! and i thought i had a busy day, running round all day doing many jobs, and only one load of vinyl cut for the truck tomorrow !! why is it that the busier you are, the less you seem to actually get done ? !
vans look nice, i thought it looked pretty easy at first, but then i noticed the squiggles o the side going over all the recesses, i’d hate that ! well done !
-
thanks guys… 😉
john, im sitting looking at that too mate 😮
the proof the customer got on that van IS on the left, but still is wrong! 😕
it was a one off, the other 8 were all the same.
we have a good relationship with this firm going back 10 years… ill give them a call saying ive spotted it in the pictures what does he want me to do? im sure he will say leave it… but better asking him before he asks us 😉eddie, good to see you around mate, hope your busy as ever… 😉
come to think of it, you too john…. nice start to tonights jokes… are you just hotting up? im sure you will be smok’in in an hour or so… now that the heat is on?.
-
hugh… yeh mate, the squigles” were most time consuming as they were wrapped in twice as its two layers then heated up to about 120-140 degrees…
phill… funny you say that we both were saying how sore our heels were… :lol1:
-
Nice work Guys ……. you certainly deserve a couple of breezers for ploughing through that lot 😉
😀

Crikey Dave how good are your eyes …… took me a while to work out what you were on about :lol1: …… I wont tell you what I first started looking for on the back of one of those vans in the pic after you said that 😳 😛 Well you did say “plug” !!!
Nice work ….. again guys!!!
-
oh carrie, what are you like! The only reason i know is i seen it elsewhere “the plug” that is.
-
Keen sharp eyes Dave
Did you notice all the vans have been hot wired already
What is that neighbourhood like -
Perhaps a “demo” should be done John. (spin), “How a vinyl applicator moves a van”
-
nice work rob & andrew 😀
you deserve to get a bit tiddley tonight 😀nik
-
Been a busy little beaver for a change 😀 .
Looks good.
Just as an aside, how do you transport your graphics? This week i transported a window graphic about 800 metres and ended up with a crease in it.
Have you got some sort of way of keeping them flat and in one place?

I think you’ve started a new thread Iain 😀
I roll mine up and wrap it with a elastic band
But I’ve bought several large grey bags from the flower market down and the 610’s go in their a treatIKEA have big blue bags that work well and are dead cheap

Iain, I always roll mine around a core of cardboard and hold with a lacky band like john.
Nice work Rob and Andrew too. Must be knackered if you have gone straight to the bud, and passed up the breezer mate 😮
-
Nice work Rob, helluva lot of work for two to do in one day.
I thought from the thread title it was all about two scousers on a day out shopping 😛

Well done Rob – and still had enough energy to stay up on the boards till 2 in the morning judging the timings on some of our posts?
do you put something in your Irn-Bru?

Wow……..I think I will call you Superman from now on, how long per van did it take? I think you must have set a record! Lets see if anyone can beat 13 vans in one day with two men :lol1:

My wife wants to know why the two men didn’t just ask one woman to get the job done….
She reckons that from what she has read, the woman on this site would be able to cover the workload AND get the kids off to school…
Cheeky sod…..

How true! :yes1:

😀 Chris, I would have got writers cramp if I had of listed everything she maintained a woman could do whilst doing the 13 vans!

“Lets see if anyone can beat 13 vans in one day with two men”
How about 53 vans in one day with one man? It would have been 54 but the dealership couldn’t find the last one.
It’s a bit of a cheat because they are so easy, but I sent one of my lads off to a local Vauxhall dealership and was expecting him to be gone for two days but he came back at the end of day one and told me he had finished.
He was helped by the fact that the vans were all together in lines and by the fact that it was a perfect day so he could do them in-situ and did not have to shunt them in and out of the workshop individually.
You need a bit of luck every now and again to make up for all the jobs that take longer than you think.
