Ford Capri vehicle wrap
What does a sign maker do when faced with filling the void that is the Christmas and new year holidays? Well he goes and wraps a Capri of course. (well it gets me out of the house) 😕

Looks good, what vinyl have you used???
Might have to do mine again, after I had done it with Avery supreme metalic blue I started seeing loads of the same model in that colour, turns out it is almost identical to one of the standard paint colours 😳 😳

Noticed the unavoidable join on the back pillar there.
Bit of a nightmare, I have to do a Bentley GT Continental this week and have exactly the same issue. so i am trying to come up with a work around. 😕 -
I started it on new years eve, and spent a few hours every day (apart from yesterday) and finished it today. My particular model of Capri never came in orange but there was an "S" version that was popular in orange during the late 70’s early eighties. I used Avery supreme vinyl which I find easy to work with.
The Capri is one of the few cars that don’t have a natural break somewhere between the roof and sides so I made the join at the narrowest point on the rear pillars and have disguised this with a thin matt black stripe and the message "Capri Club" applied as a vinyl decal. You can just about make it out on step 8 and 9 photos. -
Most people do the join on the roof on a Bentley Continental, kind of in the place where you might usually get roof rails. In fact, you could have done the same on the Capri as there seems to be a natural line there?

yeh i know where you mean jon. my issue is i dont want a join as such and as much as i can do a very good butt-join i still dont like the thought of there being one.
Today, i am going to speak to my customer about a mix of colours to create a deliberate join as opposed to a hidden patch. if that makes sense.ive seen lots of Bentleys online joined in same place phill, good idea to hide it if its possible.

@ Robert: this weekend I was surfing around the web, and came across this site:

Here is how I disguised the join on the rear pillars. The black line above the lettering sits on top of the overlap which means the seam cannot be seen
