My first full wrapping experience
A very educating and interesting experience indeed, I know I could have started with an "easier" vehicle to wrap (such as my own van), but since I was offered to do this… the result was worse than wished for but better than feared; as most my jobs. Comments and criticism is most welcome, I´ll take it like a man… I think 😀 The layout is mine; square pattern, photo frame and fonts are company brand.

Looks good to me mate…

Thank you gentlemen for your kind comments…
quote Matty Goodwin:Looks absolutely fine from what I can see Otto!Matt, there is a reason why the pics are taken from a certain distance… 😀
-
????
Why?
-
Otto, yer it looks OK from a distance like you say but if the customer is happy with it then that’s what really count’s. Have you done a wrap course at all?
From your first post you didn’t expect the results to be brilliant so why did you take it on in the first place?Sorry I know it sounds very nosey but I would just like to get views from people who take on such jobs knowing that they can’t do it 100% which it sounds like you did.

what material did you use mate?
-
Well, when I said there is a reason for the pics taken from a distance; that was meant to be a joke… yes there was a few small creases in the hood (but the customer didn´t even notice), and since there is a little perfectionist living inside me, those small creases bugged me a bit. But the customer was happy, and still is, so that makes me happy as well.
Martin, I was 100% sure I can do the job properly when I took the it, but a first full wrap is still a first full wrap… And no, I haven´t done a wrapping course; there just aren´t many available over here. There was one a few months ago that I knew of, but I couldn´t fit it in my scedule. And no need to apologise, you didn´t sound nosey at all. (If you tried to, you must try harder… 😀 )
Shane, I used Avery MPI 1900 + 1030 lam.

Otto, you sound like me mate, I hate leaving a vehicle with creases, no matter how small.
I find that with one way vision. I use a cast laminate, and there are always little ridges here and there as I laminate on the vehicle after the one way vision has been applied. I tell the client if they are still there in 3 or 4 days, bring the car back and I’ll check it out. A few days in the hot aussie sun, and the ridges (bubbles) always pull out. Never had one back yet.

haven’t read this thread mate, sorry if covering old ground…
from a distance the car looks good. fitting wise i cant comment without seeing up close. if the customer is happy then great… you have just been paid for a "learning curve"… your next wrap will no doubt be easier and easier the more you do.from looking at the picture one thing i will say is the tartan design on the side should start at front and end at back.
i can see what you have done, i.e. done the bonnet and wrapped down onto the sides. but in doing so your design on the side is not continuous. stops abruptly at the front end of the side door panels.thanks for taking the time to load you work mate. much appreciated.
-
That’s how all the MINI wraps I’ve seen are done. The bonnet is also the front wings so you do it in one piece.
-
Well done on your first attempt Otto.
Jon I think what Rob means is that the tartan would have looked better fading to nothing on the front doors, like it does on the rear quarter, rather than finishing abruptly, can be hard to match up thoughPeter
