  • Hammond – 1st mini roof & 1st vehicle in the new place

    Posted by David Hammond on May 25, 2012 at 5:07 pm

    I am so glad I have my own place to do vehicle graphics.

    Indoors and out of the sunshine for a change.

    Here’s my first mini roof graphic I did for a customer, who’s bought it for her Husbands anniversary present. He’s chuffed to bits. I am loving the new work space too.

    Still not confident fitting dry with having to reach over the roof.

    great stuff mate, well done!

    if you must do it wet, use rapid tac fluid. just my opinion of course.

    great to hear your going from strength to strength business wise.
    moving premises is big step and i am sure it will pay off for you, your obviously already seeing the benefits.

    thanks for taking the time to load your work David, much appreciated.

    Cheers guys.

    Rob i’ve got more vehicle jobs on the go than I did in about 6months at the shop. Need your truck down here soon, so I can do more, quicker. Could do with talking to you see which course would be best? Wrapping or advnced applicarion?

    Brock, it was me waving at you on the M60 yesterday. I’m a neutral football fan, don’t like any of them!

    So long as they pay I’ll put whatever they like on their roof!

    Yes the new place has given me a massive boost.

    I’m able to continue the print for my trade customers, and now I have a place to fit graphics I can do those at the same time.

    Simon, the new place is only warm cos its scorching outside, usually its like a fridge, tidy… There’s just more space around all the piles of rubbish 🙂

    I know I need some training to improve my confidence and get away from fitting wet.

    Hi David, I wouldn’t worry about fitting dry, we always fit wet, suits us. Just work with what you feel comfortable with.

    david i am with jason if your distorting the vinyl then it must be dry else wet if you like.
    a course will give you the confidence you need in the mean time find a old car door and practice with you larger off cuts.

    pleased you are moving forward.

    enjoy
