    Getting The Shape of a van Panel

    Posted by PaulS1987 on 31 January 2013 at 15:49

    Hey Guys, Just wondering how you would normally fit vinyl to a van panel to fit the shape perfectly, you can’t rely on the Impact outlines, so does everyone just trim with a blade?

    Thanks
    Paul

    Hi Paul have you tried tracing with application tape then lay
    over the vinyl then hand cut it will save cutting on the vehicle

    Tracing paper, application tape as in Phill’s tutorial work ok. If you cut on the vehicle then firstly you risk damaging the vehicle & 2 it is very difficult to cut a perfectly straight line or even a curve freehand without practice.
