    Our customer is delighted with what we’ve done for their new vans.

    ENKI Bathrooms specialise in high end bathrooms, so wanted something ‘classy’, so we opted for a chrome vinyl, but using it sparingly.

    The customers already had a £10k job from the Astra van!

    They then bought the Transit to us, we inputted that maybe wrapping the bonnet would keep in with their branding and also make it stand out more… we were right! Customer’s really pleased with both vans.

    Only downside is, the transit’s paint work was appalling, so lots of blemished showing through the vinyl.

    Great David the bonnet wrap ties the livery on the transit together nicely 😀

    The Astra’s a god awful van to sign up. It might be the picture, but we aligned it by eye 😉 It looks straight in the flesh.

    The bonnet on the Transit was wrapped using Avery Supreme, with the LCS applied on the top. I did consider printing the bonnet on IJ180, but wanted a really vibrant red.

    Ohh that Chris is a sharp eyed devil 👿 next time try aligning everything parallel to the moulding bump strip on the door always looks better IMHO.

    Still good though 😀

    Very nice, great work David.

    Avery Supreme is great to work with and that red looks the part.

    Like the subtle use of the chrome too, I’m not a fan off it unless used as you’ve done there. Bet you hated chucking all the weeded chrome away tho!!

    £5.00 Plm for the chrome, which I didn’t think was to bad, but it wasn’t as bright as I had hoped for. IIRC it was Ritimara?

    I had enough left to use some on the back of the Transit was was advertising their bathroom business ENKI, which the customer loved, as it tied in nicely with their other van.

    For the sake of a little bit of chrome, the customer really appreciated it and I’m sure we’ve a customer for life there.

    Looks good David, clean!

    a lot of new vans are a proper pain to align, did a new pug partner (or something like) last week – horrendous and all done by eye in the end!

    for future reference, best chrome film I’ve used is Coburn 5yr outdoor chrome, I’m told it’s been downgraded to 3yr now (same material) but I have a couple of 4-5yr old vans running around fine with it, good stuff and not that expensive really!
